View slideshow of the West Clarksville artists big win
By Andrew Harris
Eric Jones was already a one man tourist attraction for Allegany County, and that was before he appeared on network television. The carving artist, who creates sculptures from all different mediums, was the winner of the popular Food Network series, “Outrageous Pumpkins.” The regional star has been featured by the likes of John Kucko Digital and multiple Western New York television stations. Jones reacts to his triumph on the national scene:
“THAT JUST HAPPENED!? What an amazing privilege it has been to be part of a reality series that showcases the abilities of unique artists in a realistic way! Thank You to my good friends Tator, Carli, Adam, Lincoln, Leigh, Alan, so much talent! Thank you Paul and Terry for the encouragement and constructive criticism to help me improve!
A special thanks to a truly professional production company Turn Card Content, along with Food Network and Discovery Plus and of course the brilliant Sunny Anderson! Most of all to my family, friends, and followers that support my work by watching the show and engaging in social media as redundant as they may seem. My skills are the product of hard work and talent given to me by my Creator. Matt 5:16 #letyourlightshine #cutco”
