It's that time of year again, and we're getting shivers down our spines just thinking about it: Halloween, the time of harvest, parties, carving gourds and getting drunk out of your gourd. And some of that gourd carving must have been done with the assistance of high technology, especially that one with Jack Nicholson from his role in
The Shining. Did they use a projector? Special knives? An auto-carving machine? Add that to all the other most exquisitely created jack-o'-lanterns we could find, some of which are classics you may have seen in years gone by, and some entirely new. Our favorite? That Jack Nicholson-o'-lantern has our jaws agape. Let us know which one is your favorite, and please, don't everyone pick the goatse one. [

And you thought Etch-a-Sketch was tough. Ian Cook made this portrait of a Chevy Camaro by soaking the wheels of remote controlled cars in paint and then painstakingly driving them around on his canvas. He also uses full-size tires to fill in large blocks of color, but still, the results are pretty amazing—if you've ever tried to ambush your unsuspecting cat with an RC you know how tricky precision maneuvering can be. He's currently camped out at the London Motor Show doing portraits of cars (meta!). The work is especially admirable when you see it coming together in this video, stroke by radio-controlled stroke.
