Great post! I like that dinosaur picture ;)

Recently I took a vintage pair of over-the-ear headphones and threw on some turn dials, radio antennas, and a couple coats of paint while imitating an old advertisement image of a portable Panasonic Radio.

Awesome! I love this creativity and the resulting earwear is really nice too. I see marketing potential there. The new 'beats by Sippel' or something like that.

As for your question: I have always been someone that needed to express himself creatively in one way or another (be it music, theatre, photography, poetry, stories...).

As a kid, I would write small stories (with the ambition to one day write a novel. The novel never happened and I stopped writing stories when I grew up, but it was a fun past time for little me).

I would also write songs and perform them at family gatherings, particularly at Christmas. I would write a song specifically for the Christmas family gathering and force my brother to sing it with me. Later on, I realized I couldn't sing very well...so young me turned to rapping instead, writing Christmas raps every year. This also stopped as I grew older, but it was another outlet for my creativity.

I started acting when I was around 8 years old, so that has kind of been always with me too. The first time feeling the adrenaline of stepping on stage, acting, and then receiving applause got me completely addicted and I am still occasionally acting or helping out behind the scenes.

Photography is yet another one of those creative outlets that started early on with disposable cameras. Photography obviously is still a big part of my life.
