- Ross Mathis became interested in doing science fiction illustration in the early '50s. He was greatly
- inspired by the outstanding artwork being done by Edd Cartier for ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION
- (now ANALOG) and other science fiction magazines of the time. He has had three color illustrations
- published in AMAZING STORIES. He also displays and sells his works, both originals and prints, at
- many of the Northwest science fiction conventions.
-
- Ross considered his four-year sojourn in Australia from 1961 to 1965 to be a major highlight of his life.
- The first three years of this stay were spent living in a Volkswagen van and traveling extensively over the
- continent and Tasmania, supporting himself by working as a bricklayer.
-
- He lives and works in his home on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound, Washington, with his wife and a
- villainous male cat. He and his wife are proud and loving parents of two college-attending daughters,
- ages 20 and 22.
