Pumpkin Pizza and Boo Brownies
We are all set for Halloween. Last night we had Pumpkin Pizza from Papa Murphy’s and my wife made Boo Brownies.
Then we all watched Beetlejuice.
Tonight me and my daughter are handing out candy and later we are going to watch “The Wolf Man” with Lon Chaney Jr.
Last weekend we watched the original “Dracula” with Bela Lugosi and “Frankenstein” with Boris Karloff.
Have a Happy Halloween!!
Car Logos Over Time
It is interesting to see how logos change over time. I found a site that has a page titled “Car logos evolution”. The page has the changing logos of Mercedes, Renault, Volkswagen, Cadillac, Mitsubushi, Buick, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Fiat, Audi, Alfa Romeo and Peugeot.
The Cadillac logos on the page only covers the actual coat of arms to the first trademarked logo. Just this month Cadillac rolled out an updated logo design.

Hot Rod Halloween Shirt Designs
These Hot Rod Halloween shirt designs are from the stencils I designed and posted about earlier. While drawing the pumpkins stencils I got the idea that these would also look great on t-shirts.
For those of you who are interested, I got the shirt mockup templates from an article called “Huge Collection of T-Shirt Design Mockup Templates”.
Hot Rod Pumpkin Stencils
2026 Update: A lot of families discover these hot rod pumpkin stencils while searching for Hot Wheels-style pumpkin designs. These aren’t official Hot Wheels templates, but they’re perfect for kids, gearheads, and anyone who loves car-themed pumpkins. If you want even more automotive Halloween art, check out my full collection of pumpkin-themed designs and other Halloween art in the shop — they’re all grouped together for easy browsing.
These are some kid-friendly Hot Rod Pumpkin stencils I came up with for Halloween.
I started sketching these one day while sitting in my car having lunch. Later I scanned them into Illustrator and redrew each in vector line art. In some cases I would draw the flame section only on one side and then copy/flip it to create the other side.
I haven’t had the chance to do one, but I did mock them up in Photoshop to help give you an idea of what they would look like.
