The Patch

Without fail, I get asked every year around this time: What ever happened to the pumpkins? 

The Patch, as I’ve affectionately dubbed it, has evolved a lot over the years, but through it all, their fugly cuteness and darkish humour have stuck. What started as a sketch in a notebook margin twenty years ago evolved into a wider world of drawings, paintings, stories, and poems, culminating in a small art show a little more than a decade ago. Since then, I haven’t been as attentive to the patch, but I’m now actively revisiting and developing new pieces.
