Two Pumpkin Entries Equals Two Winners

/
We received two entries into the pumpkin carving contest -- so we have two winners. We've decided to award them both $25 in back issues. 

And the winners are...

In no particular order:
  • Rentera Kreb, untitled piece
  • Lanaya Nilsson, "Pumpkin's Revenge"
And here's the art for both winning pumpkins. 
Note to winners: Please stop in any day that Ben is here to collect your prize.
