Star Wallowing Bull, Native American Artist

Did not want to be expected to create “Indian Art”

“I did not find an interest in drawing traditional American Indian cultural icons. If I did, I changed a lot of the images and made them more intricate and interesting.”

“I wanted to create my own art on a new level and steer clear of the old traditional Indian style of art.”

Martin Handford,British Artist Creator & Illustrator of Where’s Waldo books

"My earliest influences were cinema epics and playing with toy soldiers. I attempted to recapture the excitement in my drawings, which started out as crowds of crude stick figures."

-Martin Handford

Martin was asked to create a book showcasing his talent, and the character Waldo was born to provide a link between each scene.

"That’s who Waldo is - an afterthought," he says. "As it turns out, the fans were more interested in the character than in the crowd scenes."

Martin Handford,British Artist

As an artist Martin's Where's Waldo books have been immensely successful 43 million copies worldwide 33 countries 22 languages.

"I can’t tell you how pleased I am that Waldo has taken on a life of his own, I’d like to inspire children--to open their minds to explore subjects more--to just be aware of what’s going on around them. I’d like them to see wonder in places that might not have occurred to them."
