A graphic artist hailing from Diyun in Changlang district, Gyadu worked on one of Marvel&#8217;s most notable projects, Spider-Man: India. He has also contributed to comic books featuring some of Marvel&#8217;s most famous characters, including Wolverine, Iron Man, The Avengers and Spider-Man.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His journey from the remote town of Diyun to working for Marvel is a story in itself. &#8220;I had been working with Indian comic publishers for many years, but I kept trying to find work with international comic book publishers like Marvel and DC Comics. In 2022, I sent my portfolio to an art agency. They helped me find work with Marvel Comics, and that&#8217;s how I ended up working with one of the best brands in this field,&#8221; said Gyadu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tadam-Gyadu-1.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-252618 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tadam-Gyadu-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tadam-Gyadu-1.webp 536w, https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tadam-Gyadu-1-181x300.webp 181w, https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tadam-Gyadu-1-253x420.webp 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/a>Sharing his experience of working with top brands like Marvel, he says it has been a dream come true. &#8220;I remember watching the very first live-action Spider-Man film by Sam Raimi and instantly falling in love with it. I have been a lifelong fan of Marvel comics, and to get to work with them on some of their top characters is a huge achievement. I feel fortunate,&#8221; Gyadu added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His love for drawing and art started at a very young age. &#8220;I was always enamored with drawings and art. I remember having Life of the Buddha books at home and spending hours looking at them. I started copying those illustrations. I found my first comic book when I was in class 3, fell in love with it, and began copying those illustrations. Since then, I&#8217;ve never looked back,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gyadu originally hails from the Upper Subansiri district. &#8220;My father was posted in Diyun, working in the forest department. We never moved back to Daporijo,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further called upon the younger generation to pursue the careers they are passionate about, rather than following the conventional career paths chosen by most people. &#8220;I feel that careers in the arts-whether drawing, painting, acting, singing, or dancing-are still met with skepticism, especially in our state. I try my best to raise awareness in my hometown about how one can have a lucrative career in fields other than the so-called mainstream jobs like engineering, medicine, etc.,&#8221; said Gyadu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He initially studied at a government school in Diyun and later joined Mahabodhi School, Diyun, from where he completed his matriculation. After finishing high school in Digboi, he went on to pursue a degree in fine arts in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Bengia Ajum] ITANAGAR, 20 Nov: In a remarkable achievement, Tadam Gyadu from Arunachal Pradesh has illustrated sketches for the iconic Marvel Comics series.
