Are you an ambassador for any causes?

I am an ambassador for GuardiansMH.  This organization offers tons of mental health resources for anyone who may be struggling to find resources on their own.  What sealed the deal to partner with Guardians MH was their Mental Health Kits and Mindful painting program.  I have started a campaign to support these programs. 10% of my shop will be donated to GuardiansMH. Check them out below and if you are able, any donation helps!

Guardians MH is a 501c(3) non-profit organization committed to delivering evidence-based tools, resources, and strategies – each carefully vetted by mental health professionals on our team.  We pride ourselves with having no financial barriers to our many initiatives, including Mental Health Kits, our mobile app, the RTS bot/library system, mindful painting program, and continue to evolve, providing invaluable support to individuals around the world.

What drew you to Fallout and what made you fall in love with the franchise?

I started playing Fallout with the release of Fallout 3.  My collection also started at the same time with the Fallout 3 Survival Collectors Edition.  You see Fallout brought me out of a dark place. It Really gave me something to grab ahold of during a deep depression. I’ve met friends just being able to share our love for the game. I think that’s why I have taken so hard to collecting. I owe a lot to the franchise and truly do cherish the games, TV series and the collectibles bring me a lot of joy as well.

Where/how do you find inspiration for some of the things that you make?

I grew up without much and I used to take things apart to entertain myself.  I think I still try to find ways to repurpose things into what I like even though there is official merchandise, and I am in a position to purchase it.

If you had all the time and money in the world, what would your dream Fallout project be?

I would create a real-life vault and open it as a hotel so that all of the fans of Fallout can come and immerse themselves into a real life underground vault experience.

Why do you have ration cans? 

There are many layers to my Fallout collection.  Collecting the official licensed collectibles has sent me down a rabbit hole of also collecting items from the atomic age that relates to the Fallout franchise.   This includes a collection of emergency food and water rations, uranium glass, vintage Geiger counters, and all types of items and memorabilia relating to the atomic bomb.  I have always had an interest in history, particularly the atomic age making my love of Fallout even stronger.

Do you accept fan mail?

I do have a P.O. Box!

If you would like to contribute with fan mail to help me decorate my fallout shelter the address is posted below.  If you are not sure what to send, I would love anything fun or creative fallout related.  If you have something you would like to say in a letter or draw or make I would love to add any pictures to my wall or art to my shelf. Absolutely no skill level required.  I love it all!
