Interview With QE Creator
Below is an excerpt from an author interview with Linder about his book Grasspeople at Amid the Imaginary.
It was my pleasure to interview Allan Linder, author of
“Grasspeople”, a vibrant fantasy graphic novel, both in its illustrations and
its story. ~ Amid The Imaginary
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I am a 4th generation artist in my family and I’m very fortunate that they were always encouraging me to pursue my talents. I won my first drawing contest at age 5 and an art scholarship at 17. After that, I started working for Disney, WB, Sony, and many others as a freelance artist over the past 20 years. I primarily worked in animation character design and storyboards for film and television. Sequential art has always been in my life as a way to escape. I feel like it’s one of the few methods of visual story telling that only requires imagination, pencil and paper. You don’t need to have a big budget to develop an idea.
