He was friends with fellow Andy Warhol actor Waldo Díaz-Balart.

Waldon's art career began in 1979 when he showed a friend some of Andy Warhol's original screens (the material used to create the iconic pop art) that he had acquired. Waldon's friend asked him to create an Electric Chair piece for him.

Waldon's artworks have been shown at many museums and galleries, including Chamberlain Gallery in Los Angeles (owned by Angus Chamberlain, son of sculptor John Chamberlain) and in June 2023 at the Kantor Gallery in Beverly Hills,

Waldon once said, "I'll tell you one thing, if you could make any money on your own with Andy, he never said a word. He was totally helpful that way. If you wanna do something and you were going to make some money, he certainly wouldn't stand in your way."
