I don't believe I create art. I'm a bit autistic, never felt creative. But i always felt the need to express myself, and i guess thats art.

Toy Photography is the name I learn to call it. I've been collecting action figures since my college days back in the late 90s, but during the pandemic i saw on Instagram someone posting a Star Wars picture and when i notice it was toys I was right away "I need to do this" , and I just went and started and have never stopped since then.
Where do you find inspiration?It comes from different places I think. I do get obsessed about things, probably started there. My love for scifi, and Star Wars killed my boredom during the pandemic, speciallyafter finding out toy photography, as things went back to normal to new crazy it became and outlet of peace and solitude, as I do set ups, customize figures, add fog and lighting, dioramas, take pics, and edit them and then after sharing them seeing that others enjoy them is a good feeling.
What would you do with $25,000?I would move. My wife, my kid, my dog and I have been stuck in a 1 bedroom apartment for over 14 years. It started as a $700 a month payment and in less than 7 years it went to $2,200. After moving take my wife on a vacation , then the rest give it to my kid , they are a real artist, and i would love to help get their studio started.
