I established this website to present past years’ Jack o’ Lanterns and the stories they illustrate.
As I move toward oil painting, I will establish pages displaying additional works, and offering high-quality reproductions.
I can be reached with comments and requests for commissions or prints at barrygalef@gmail.com.
In the meantime, you can access eight Jack o’Lanterns — from 1996, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2016 — by clicking on “Jack o’ Lanterns” from the home page and choosing from the drop-down menu for those years.
At some point, I intend to add a page on the techniques I use — but for now just think of these Jack o’Lanterns as “woodcuts, on a pumpkin, with a bright light inside.”
Working on a anti litter campaign that would ask artists to compete to either add to or replace this sign. My first thought would be to have high school art students compete each year but would like to get your thoughts on this.
I would like to share the art work with you so if you would send me a text and I will send you the drawing or E mail.
Thank You
