My friend Dan Buller and I have this tradition where every year we create a Halloween pumpkin on a favourite theme. Okay, to be completely honest, Dan does most of the creating; I usually “produce” the thing. He’s an incredibly talented artist (and the star of my self-portrait) who makes the most impressive creative achievements look easy—just ask Snoop, who featured him and his work in his latest video.
Our last Halloween project was Robocop: The Pumpkin, which I thought was a fine tribute to a classic film, but this year I thought it would be nice to pay tribute to a recently deceased legend of the screen, the truly great Peter Falk. Naturally, we felt that the best way to memorialize him was in his guise as the great, Dostoyevsky-inspired detective Columbo.
So, this Halloween, I’m very proud to present the 2011 Peter Falk Memorial Pumpkin, or as Dan calls it, the Falk-O-Lantern.

Happy Halloween!
