Toys, Toys, Toys!




Most people who know me know that I recently left my day job to pursue a dream to own my own toy store.  After many dreary months of the old day job cutting away at every last bit of free time, it was time for a big break.  There were literally no hours left for creativity, and followers of this blog will know that for me, zero creativity equals bad news.  So as of September of 2018, I parted ways with my former employer.



As of right now, Skeeter's Toybox takes up most of my free time, but the up side is that many of those hours are spent creating.  Where I used to do ad layouts for clubs on a volunteer basis, I get to do them for myself.  I keep my social media pages for the business active, frequently with my own toy photography, though sometimes I have to rely on photos obtained from toy manufacturers themselves.  Attending graphic design school in the early 2000's is finally paying off... years of volunteering my graphics skills is paying off as well.  And even more recently, spending time on Instagram, photographing my LEGO collection is now coming full circle.
