Todd Lockwood
Todd Lockwood graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art in 1981. He spent the next fifteen years toiling in relative obscurity in the world of advertising, painting beer cans, satellite dishes and other mind-numbingly boring things. In 1990, when an agent in New York chewed him out for being hospitalized, he started to plot his escape. In 1994, Todd attended his first science fiction and fantasy convention in Winnipeg, Ontario, just to see if he could make some contacts with the people that did the "fun stuff." A door was opened that would lead to a staff position at TSR, the makers of the popular role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. Over the next seven years, Todd built up an impressive body of fantasy images, and helped to redefine the look of Dungeons and Dragons for the Third Edition release. His work has been honored with multiple appearances in Spectrum annuals (including a silver medal), the Communication Arts Illustration Annual, thirteen Chesley Awards, two World Fantasy Art Show awards and numerous industry awards. He now freelances from his home in Washington State, doing the fun stuff, with fans all over the planet. His first art book, Transitions, from Chrysalis books (U.K.), was released in September of 2003.Todd Lockwood graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art in 1981.
