YouTube has gained a reputation for introducing many talented artists, whether they are singers, songwriters, actors, or animators to the world. Many of these artists may not have even gotten any recognization if they have not taken the risk and uploaded a video to the internet.

James Rallison, or better known as TheOdd1sOut, is one of the most famous YouTube animators and has more than 14 million subscribers. He is popular for his amazing animated videos and the comic strips and books he has published.
Life Before Fame And Family

TheOdd1sOut was actually the webcomic James uploaded on Tumblr in 2012. He had been drawing comics since he was eight years old. His comic strip did not gain as much traction he hoped for. During that time, he was also attending college as a math major. However, he dropped out of college after his YouTube channel blew up.
