Handford was born in Hampstead, London, on September 27, 1956 and spent most of his childhood drawing.
As an adult Martin worked for three years in an insurance office in order to finance his degree at art college and continued to draw "what were always busy and militarily correct battle scenes".
The turning point came when Martin Handford was asked to create a book showcasing his singular talent, and the character Waldo was born to provide a link between each scene.

  Books | Happy hunting
Martin Handford's series began as a graphic version of hide and seek but with the third book, The Fantastic Journey (1989), it turned into something almost more complicated than the human mind could bear.
Handford's simple idea was to draw a dozen or so crowd scenes, in each of which you had to find Wally, a cheery bespectacled nerd in a red-and-white hooped sweater.
Handford's settings vary from the humdrum to the hallucinogenic, from a sporting field (full of characteristic visual puns that children will love: a pear skater, a tennis "ace" and so on) to a world where balloons and Victorian steamers battle green dragons.

 UP AGAINST WALDO | Martin Handford | Pop Culture News | News + Notes | Entertainment Weekly
Handford came up with Waldo as a way to unify the multitudes into a book.
Kids often send Handford photos of themselves dressed as Waldo or their own drawings of the antihero, so he devised ''more of a multimedia affair,'' with pages to color in, stickers, a board game, and ''cardboard figures that you can press out and make a 3-D circus.
That's the sort of thing I used to love as a kid.'' Handford has no children of his own to use as sounding boards-the new book is dedicated to his girlfriend of the last nine years-but he says he still thinks like a kid anyway: ''I don't need to refer to any other kids.
