We've featured the work of Ray Villafane quite a few times now, but these are some of the pumpkins that put him on the map. Villafane's ability to carve texture and character into these ordinary squashes is mind-boggling, to say the least. He'll be making all kinds of new works for the New York Botanical Gardens through Halloween, so we'll be sure to post any more cool ones that come our way!

Artist Yutaka Sone created this detailed map of the island of Manhattan out of a single block of marble. After studying maps, Google Earth, and taking helicopter rides over the city, Yutaka was able to create a near-perfect carving in the 2.5-ton piece of stone.

What's that? More LEGOs? Why yes, we have plenty! Check the gallery below:
