Ontario's Pumpkin Picasso Will Carve Your Selfie Into A Jack-o-Lantern

He'll give your porch pumpkin a serious glow-up. 🎃

Why settle for another run-of-the-mill jack-o-lantern when you could get a pumpkin selfie instead?

That's right. It's time to strike your best pumpkin pose.

The “Serial Peeler,” aka Roy Chisholm, is based in Erin, Ont. and says he can transform your pumpkin into just about anything.

In addition to gourd-eous selfies, the Peeler can do anything from sea creatures with winding tentacles to pig heads with details so intricate you can’t help but stare.

According to the Serial Peeler's Instagram, bookings for specialty carved pumpkins and butternut squash are already coming in.

So if you want to get your hands on one this year, Chisholm says book soon.

An average pumpkin about 18" in size will cost between $75 and about $200, but can go higher depending on specificity and complexity. 

"Likenesses are particularly difficult," the Peeler says. "It can take a couple pumpkins to nail it."

The pumpkins last about one week with care and can be delivered for a small fee as well.

So if you want to impress your neighbours with an outrageously detailed jack-o-lanterns this fall, head over to their Instagram and DM your request.
