Submitted for your Pumpkin-Day viewing is the painting I did for Nickelodeon's Halloween issue of SpongeBob SquarePants Magazine...a special Halloween themed portrait of SpongeBob and Patrick as seen from inside a Jack-o-Lantern pumpkin.

Here are a few thumbnails of the work in progress:

    Thank for these. I love watching all of your videos and I thought I might finally say thanks for it. I was just wondering, do you use a cintiq when doing all of this? I have an intuos4 tablet and was thinking of making the jump to the cintiq12wx but I've heard differing opinions on the quality of them. What are your thoughts?

    Hi Rooney -- thanks for the kind words :)

    I use the Cintiq 21UX, but I used to do it all on the Intuos2. The Cintiq is great...never had a bad experience with it. The 21UX is HUGE, so the 12wx may be even easier to use. Just make sure you have a good video card to support the monitor and the graphics software. Have fun!
