San Antonio Man Does Incredibly Good Pumpkin Carving of Manu Ginobili
Posted By Sarah Martinez on Fri, Oct 12, 2018 at 11:45 AM
Arthur Alaquinez shared photos to his social-media accounts of his pumpkin carving tribute to Spurs legend Manu Ginobili. He actually did two tributes in one, capturing a closeup portrait of our favorite Argentinean as well as his signature look from behind with him looking off to the side.
Alaquinez said the carving took him a day to complete, using clay-cutting tools to get his work just right.
A self-taught artist, Alaquinez said he's been carving Spurs-themed pumpkins since 2015 when he paid tribute to Tim Duncan with a Punisher design.
