I met Ray Villafane at the New York Botanical Garden today. If you're not sure who he is, check out his website. You've undoubtedly seen his work. He seems like a really cool down to earth guy. He and his sculptors were working on a big Venus Flytrap carve that was going to have wasps coming out of the giant pumpkin and attacking the plant. Sue Beatrice, who is on this year's Halloween Wars, was also there as part of his team. The pumpkin that the carver is sitting on is the current world record holder at 2,032 lbs.
This was one of the wasps to be used in the display.
Me , my wife, and my daughter with Ray Villafane. It's hard to see but notice my Laboratory of the Zombie Pumpkins shirt in the picture with Ray. Minion worthy!!!
