[Robotgroup] Marvin's sculpture park

I just wanted to let you know that Tom and I went out and took the 3 
hour tour of the park and it was grand, well worth the drive.  The 
drive itself is pretty scenic so it's nice and relaxing.  The 3 hours 
was not walking it was the drive, hanging out and discussing the 
vision, works in progress etc.  We met some other good people from 
the Natural Gardener that came out as well.

I can see a lot of artistic vision in Marvin's world.  Very, very 
cool.  Whimsically deviant.  Like most of us, he has a huge 
collection of obtanium from which to build into his creative 
designs.  He has a fair amount of UFOs (unfinished objects).  But the 
pieces he has complete are wonderful.  We got the full tour of the 
workshop and the art park tour.

You've seen part of the screaming baby head band, but there is much 
more.  I saw bins and bins labeled "legs" "arms" "heads" "hands" and 
an aquarium filled of mixed parts.  Those aren't your usual garage 
type bins.  Well they might be if some of us were more organized than 
we are. It's the kind of thing that makes you smile though.  We just 
don't see toys the way most people do, we have to redesign 
them.  Salvaging toys and recycling them into art is unique and 
constructive art.

I would recommend that when things aren't so hectic for some of us, 
we make another adventure out there.  He has a full working shop for 
collaborations on projects.  Marvin is an expert at PVC sculpture 
design.  And there were creations that would look marvelous in a 
haunt as well.  Creepy...

Thanks again for the offer of the tour Marvin, it's given me a lot of 
ideas for some of my own UFOs.
