why do you collect?

gimme one sentence please.

two words: obsessive addict.

I'm a criativity junkie and I get high on artist's criativity

Are run-on sentences acceptable because that could prove challenging to sum up in a concise manner, and I might be inclined to cram as much into one sentence as possible in order to get many point across at once, so I would just like to know if I can write one really long sentence - is that okay?

i gotta try some of that criativity, is it new?

It allows me to be a full on kid and think what each toy would be like if it was alive!!

To piss my wife off, oh and it's better than crack.

Is this some kinda marketing research?

Its fun and cause i couldnt afford alot of toys when i was a kid with no job.

for a zine. collect and destroy number 1

Because it's fun and I like having things i find aesthetically pleasing and I can't stop due to my obsessive compulsive behaviour.


Started out with hockey cards and TMNT toys. then got into some anime toy collecting. after that went nucking futs with heroclix, then after that mechwarrior clix but when my GF told me about blow up dolls, i got into it. The name really attracted me when seeing a bud. I wanted to say to people, " want to see my collection of blow up dolls" and see how they react. I just collect things I find aesthetically pleasing instead of compulsively getting complete sets of things. I seem to have it under control now. I still buy lots of stuff but it's mostly to give to my GF because she's a collector too and can't afford as much as I can.

Sentence #1: The sight of my toy collection makes me happy due to its variation, personable characters and brilliant colours.

Sentence #2: Seeing a large collection evokes a sense of accomplishment

That is really sweet of you. And I mean that in a very a non-materialistic way. Really

I WANT IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!

i collect because of the creativity behind them, and the inspiration from them. I have little to no artistic talent, and even though I'm a carpenter and great at building things, I am inspired how good artists can make the same ol' platform so new and fresh.

that, and it pisses the wife off.

I need to meet these pissed off wives.

I got compulsive with that too. I bet I spent $1000 on her in the last year.

I like surrounding myself with interesting and creatively inspirational things... and I'll always be a kid.

I collect for the real beauty of the designs.
and when I look at my toys of exposures, my eyes are filled with wonder like a child;

I collect Jamungo, because I love it. PERIOD!!!

ok ok....I get it. Something more articulate?

Jamungo's blend of Dark Humor and Art allows me to embrace my creative side, without being snobby about it.

I collect because art inspires me and has made my life a much more colorful place.

I collect because I enjoy admiring the various figures that I have - not as toys, but as art pieces.

Well, I know this won't count as sentence for the thread's objective, but I think that inspiration is the most valuable thing a person can pass on. I can only wish that in the future I'll be able to inspire at least one people. You can achieve immortality through some one else's ideas
And I can say that most toy artists certainly inspires many people

I collect because I have always loved toys, they spark the creative impulses in my mind that I had when I was a child; Jamungo's toys in particular satisfy my love of things that go BOOM!

I love art and toys and Jamungo sums both of those up for me.
