2013 Challenger: Randy Haldeman

Hey everyone! My name is Randy Haldeman. I’m going to do my best to try and keep this simple! I am a freelance illustrator and somewhat designer that enjoys nothing more than drawing and inking comics. I am an artist that does his best to make a living off of my art, and recently I have acquired some jobs that will be seeing publication in the very near future. You can check out my work at the link on my name to get a good idea of what it is I do and what I’m interested in.

I’m doing this as a way to revamp an old comic idea that a friend of mine and I have been working on for years. I want to use the 30 Character Challenge to push myself to fill this comic world full of interesting and expressive characters while at the same time keeping me working on my personal art more often than I do. Sometimes the making money to pay the bills overrules my ability to create personal work. It is a sad truth about being a creator of any sort. It is also something I’m sure many of you know about all too well and something many of you are going to eventually learn about. While I do this, my writer friend is challenging himself with National Novel Writing Month, so I plan to do this in sync with him to keep us both working and on top of our game.

Good luck to everyone, and here is about the best picture of me I think you could find on the interwebs. Again, my art is available at my website for your viewing pleasure!
