I do the carvings in a polyurethane pumpkins, it takes twice as long however no mess and they last forever.  (I also do real pumpkins however you can only carve so many).  My pumpkins have appeared at Canada's Royal Ontario Museum for a UNICEF fundraiser.  I also present a UNICEF pumpkin for a plug on my appearances.
Again the software I use allows me to "see" the carving before I carve it however with Dave, his real carving would look much better than image up above.  (the rest of presented pumpkins are carved - they are not all completely done as I resolve background discolouration by fixing inside back walls.)

When I do TV interviews, they simply lower the lights and go from pumpkin to pumpkin with one camera following another and as most people have never seen a face they can actually recognize on a pumpkin, the response is usually really fantastic.
