Lil Buddha (b. 1978) (govt name not included with action figure) was born and raised in The Bronx in the late 1970s—a graduate of NYU who consumed himself with classes on History of Western Art II (ARTH-UA2).

As he grew up traveling within the five boroughs of New York the acknowledgment became more comprehensive while taking up the hobby of photography on how art and style came together.

He pursued his passion for art full-time while photographing models walking the runway in 2007’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

Certain collections in fashion week he noticed had detailed deep soft colors, rich ethnic reds, and warm glowing oranges. It showed him how colors can blend to complement the wardrobe like painting on a canvas.
