Anthony Waldren was raised in Landover, Maryland. His love of art helped him overcome the challenges he faced in his community, within his family, and in his personal life. So the day he discovered he could make being an artist his career, he set his sights on doing just that. With some formal training in art but none in business, Anthony took the lessons he learned in his interactions with different people and in different situations and built Starvin Artist, LLC, a Largo, Maryland-based graphic design firm. After realizing these life experiences might help and inspire others, Anthony decided to write his memoir, a collection of the stories and experiences that shaped him as a person. Anthony was most inspired by his desire to leave his story to future generations. Writing this book was his way of leaving them a legacy, a written record of the person he was and the experiences he had. Anthony and his wife Kim have two daughters, Ava and Kayla. Starvin' Artist: Hunger for Success is his first book project.
