About the Editor
I (Marc Horovitz) have been building automata for over 20 years, having been inspired by Paul Spooner's work at Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, at that time in Covent Garden in London. I work primarily in wood and metal. You can see my work here.

My work is in The Modern Automata Museum (Montopoli di Sabina, Italy) and Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (Farmington Hills, Michigan, US). It has been accepted twice for exhibition in the Arkansas Art Center's annual "Toys Designed by Artists" show, and was represented by Thunderstruck Gallery in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It also resides in various private collections.

I have also been a magazine editor since 1984, when I and my wife started Garden Railways magazine. I stayed on as editor when the magazine was sold to Kalmbach Publishing Company (now Kalmbach Media) in 1996, and left the magazine in 2018.
