Halloween á Lacoste

La Provence said, "We can't find a better way to celebrate Halloween than to spend it with the American students of SCAD Lacoste."
Last Saturday, 500 people traveled to Lacoste from surrounding villages for an afternoon of Halloween festivities. Since the French don't really celebrate Halloween, Lacoste's forty-year history of having American art students has made it the Halloween capital of southern France. This year, visitors enjoyed pumpkin-carving, face painting, crafts, haunted houses and lots of bon bons.

Skeletor Goes to France: The Skeleton's Fourth Annual Appearance. Shout outs to Lexie, who made the rib cage and pelvis stencils back in the day.
