About this
A short behind-the-scenes account from a pumpkin carver's portfolio page about a 2010 TV special gig in Washington DC. It recounts a failed payment/publicity deal and shows a skull pumpkin carved for two onlookers in 15 minutes. The page is really a single carving photo entry, not a movie/show/book/podcast/game, so it is mapped to the closest content type at low confidence.

From the original
In 2010 the carver traveled to Washington DC to carve pumpkins for a TV special. He says he typically takes such jobs in exchange for a mention of his website or books, describing his rate as cash or publicity rather than peanuts. This particular company declined to mention his site or help sell his books and instead offered to pay — reportedly $1500 for three days of travel. He points readers to the page's URL as the whole story of the gig, noting he would have worked for free if they had simply shown a screenshot of his book. He also says he is not sure the show ever aired, even though a full crew and a farm had been hired, and jokes that the pumpkin carver is the first person to get screwed when things fall apart. The attached photo shows two people photographing a skull pumpkin he carved for them; they gave him 15 minutes to make a pumpkin, and he says they liked the result.
