As a kid, I was really in my imagination a lot.

So I used to play with toys and put together a little model train environments and just enjoy the fantasy getting into, like, a little scene or environment.

Michael was lucky enough to turn that passion into a career with a wife and two kids.

It seemed like he had it all until life took a nasty turn.

My wife separated from me.

It was emotionally tough time.

That's when his art really became a lifeline and everything in his tool box and his snack drawer became an inspiration.

My disguise projects.

It was a good distraction, but it was also, like makes you feel empowered.

Night after night, one disguise after another, he posted his pictures on Instagram under the name Bob Bugs.

More than 50,000 people follow his daily transformation.

The original idea was to try to do one a day for a year in the process.

Somebody said to me, You should make a book and you could do 1000 faces and that would only take you like three years.

And I was like I didn't just say that.

So then the goal actually was like, Can I do 1000 disguises every day?

Like in a row?

3.5 years later, he's still working on his book while creating bigger, crazier and more dangerous disguises every day.

I think this project has helped keep Michael sanity.

At the end of the night, you can really just almost like meditate, focus on his art and do what he loves.
