What is This.. (?)(!)

These days, I like to take solo hikes about. Think about my creative ideas. Doing this helps to allow those ideas a chance at some Oxygen.
See how these ideas rank on …..
The Roger Smart Scale 
Fuck Around. Find Out.
I find this approach a way to have fun. However, I did too many people these days find this idea to be an unproductive way to operate. And demand that I should be serious or I am wasting time.
So for an  Inside Joke for myself. I refer to this time and its ideas as I am spending time working in Muppet Labs
I like weird ideas being worked on with a sense of chaotic action. It just fits my sense of humor.
I take my Curiosities. I put various ideas down on paper. Wander the art supply store. Take some photos. Do more than enough Internet searching. 
And from there….
A Lego Astronaut. My take on Superman Spiff from Calvin and Hobbes.   The Monolith Scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Some manikins from the art supply store. Memories from my hikes around Griffis Sculpture Park.  My camera. Another hike into the woods to find a spot I can work at without people around. 
Take all of these things.
And make this happen.
I look back on this Project. I have to find my notepad.
I am getting some Ideas.
What is Next? With this.
Music:
Jane’s Addiction – “Just Because”
Faith No More – “Epic”
Iron Maiden – “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner”
