Alex Ross

About Alex

• Has been drawing his own comics for as long as he can remember.
• Went to art school for two years and entered the workforce at age 19.
• Worked a 9-to-5 job every day, then stayed up late into the night drawing his own comic one page at a time.
• Published first comic just before he turned 20; admits he rushed it so he could say he'd been published as a teenager.
• Eventually "felt comfortable enough to jump"; gave up his day job, drew his comics full-time.
• Says he started out with low self-confidence socially, but his confidence in his work never faltered.
• Whenever he was rejected, he used his anger and frustration to drive him forward, inspire his art.
• Chalks up some of his success to luck, but the vast majority of it to seizing every possible opportunity.
