JT Waldman

I decided to do a little reading and find out some background on JT Waldman and I came across and interview he did "Alef". The interview pointed out a lot of interesting things about Waldman, who I am now following on Twitter, including his past and a little of the future.

He got started in comics at a young age. He started reading them at six and a few years later he realized that he could draw these things, so he began to just copy the drawings. His imagination also would run wild as he would make up his own adventures for comic book characters saying that it was the only thing that would help get him through high holidays.

When Waldman went off to college, he wanted to learn everything about art, except comics. He felt that no one could help him with his drawing and he figured if he learned other aspects of art it could contribute to his drawing.

Waldman talks more in depth and gives more background and a look to his next graphic novel in the interview. It is an interesting read and you all should check it out if you have a chance.
