The Man in Black Vs. Johnny Silverhand and Friends-Action Figure Photography

In my latest set of action figure pictures, I have the 'Man in Black' played by Matthew McConaughey from the 2017 Dark Tower movie, facing off against Johnny Silverhand played by Keanu Reeves from 2020's Cyberpunk 2077 game. Johnny is accompanied by Psycho and Tiny Tina from the Borderlands series of video games. Finally, I have Star Trek Next Generation's Jordi Laforge as a blue alien. Most figures are from Mcfarlane Toys, exceptions being the Man in Black(Diamond Select) and Jordi(Playmates). The diorama is from Extreme Sets wave 2 Control Center, which is inspired by 1980s Transformers cartoons.

This picture with the broken glass, comic book style, panel is my favorite! It adds another level of excitement to the photo.

I used an Apple Pencil, Ipad Mini, Canon G5X, and the Procreate app to put these together. I also used elements and filters at Canva.com to spruce up a pic or two.

I often have these types of confrontation or surprised themed shoots where the hero faces the villain. Currently, I prefer the Diamond Select and Mcfarlane figures over the Hasbro toys. They are more detailed and, in some instances, are more poseable.

The Jordi figure, unfortunately, fell apart after these pics. I tried piecing him back together, but no luck.

The word balloons give the pictures a comic book feel, showing my adolescent aspirations of being a comic book penciler. These photos are a combination of several favorite things from my childhood. Action figures, artwork, and technology. Something I want to continue doing.

Podcast: Talking Video Games and Making a Beat-December 2025 podcast & videos

In this episode, I dive into the excitement around Valve’s newly announced Steam Machine and what it could mean for the future of handheld gaming. I talk about the rise of hybrid console–portable systems, why shorter and more interactive games fit better into my life now, and why the GTA VI delay honestly doesn’t bother me. I also break down the controversy surrounding Rockstar’s recent employee firings and share my thoughts on the gaming community’s obsession with nostalgia. It’s a mix of tech talk, gaming culture, and personal reflections on how I play today. Finally after a work injury kept me home for three months(late last year), I dove into music production, inspired by Marc Rebillet’s improvisational style and the gear he uses. In this episode, I share the audio from my first beat video using this gear. To see/read the articles and videos on these topics, you can find the gaming article here. The beat making post on here. Thoughts, comments, do so below. ...

Recommended Movies & TV. June-December 2022 and Overall Favorites of 2022.

Check out this episode! YouTube Version These are my favorite movies and TV show from June-December 2022. June Insidious 1 & 2 (Amazon & Netflix) I'd never seen the Insidious movies. However, my younger brother watched them and told me they were creepy(which piqued my interest). In June, the first part was available on Prime Video, and the sequel and third films were on Netflix. I binged all three, but I preferred the first two as they wrapped up the Lambert family storyline. Black Phone (movies) The next Blumhouse movie on this list. The movie pundits I follow talked about this Black Phone's great word of mouth from early screenings. Saw this in theaters and was amazed at Ethan Hawke's villainous performance. His 2nd turn as a bad guy in 2022(first in Moon Knight on Disney+ months earlier, but much better here). Umbrella Academy S3 (Netflix) I like the Umbrella Academy and its different take on the superhero genre. The protagonist dysfunctional family consists o...
