David Miniatures on Life, Lessons & Legacy

What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a kid (and let’s be honest, most adults still hear this too), you’re taught that you can’t actually make a living as an artist, or at least not a comfortable one.

Before doing what I do now, I had a few different careers, all still in the arts but leaned more corporate and “safe.” If you told my 10-year-old self that one day I’d be making a solid living building scale models for a living, I don’t think he’d believe you for a second. He probably would’ve laughed, gone back to playing with action figures, and said, “Yeah, right.”
