We are privileged to print a transcript of that interview in ConNotations with the gracious permission of Mr. Lockwood and Velavision. Transcript of Todd Lockwood interview. Larry Vela: Todd Lockwood, you are the guest of honor for CopperCon 24.  \nTodd Lockwood: Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to it.  \nLV: Todd, everybody has their start, what’s your story?  \nTL: Oh what’s my story? Well, that’s not a short story, unfortunately.  \nI graduated from Colorado Institute of Art in 1981. And I planned to just head straight to New York City and start looking for book work. And my wife said“You don’t really want to go to New York, do you?”Well, no, not really. So I stuck around Denver and it was just the wrong market for me. I was doing advertising, lottery tickets, Coors beer cans; I did a lot of satellite dishes. It just got to where I was doing crap work for people who had no clue; frustrated illustrators themselves. I had to get out. Meanwhile, I had agents in New York, and other places, and they didn’t want to sell to this market. I’d had enough and about ’94, kind of by chance, I got an opportunity to fill in for Chris  \nMoore on an Asimov’s cover that he couldn’t do. My agent was also his agent and the editor Terri Chechko (sp?) was very pleased, and she gave me another one, and was very pleased. And I asked how can I get more of this type of work? She said “hang your stuff at a science fiction fantasy convention.”  \nI said “A what?” I really had no idea; I had never been to one. I had heard of GenCon, the gaming convention, but I wasn’t interested in going. I enjoyed the game, but I wasn’t willing to give up vacation time to travel somewhere and  \nbe that immersed in it. Although, I was plenty immersed in it in our own gaming group.  \nBut I took her advice and went to Winnepeg in ’94, with some stuff and (put it in) the art show. Some of it was very well received. Michael Whelan stopped me in the hall to tell me how much he liked “Cereberus.” That was my convention right there. I went home inspired, and started going to more conventions and that was really the genesis. I met some of the right people atthe right time, and was in the right place when TSR was looking for more artists to replace some guys who had left.  \nIt still kind of amazes me how fast it all ( Continued on page 15 )  \nFeatured Inside  \nSF Tube Talk  \nAll the latest news about Scienc Fiction TV shows  \n24 Frames  \nAll the latest Movie News  \nVideophile  \nReviews of genre releaseson DVD and VHS  \nScreening Room  \nReviews of current theatrical releases Catwoman The Bourne Supremacy Spiderman 2  \nAround the World in 80 Days The Day After Tomorrow Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Van Helsing  \nIn Memorium  \nWoody Harper Vladimr  \nIn Our Book  \nReviews of New SF/F Books  \nMusty Tomes  \nReviews of Classic Genre books  \nSpecial Features  \nA Conversation with Todd Lockwood by Larry Vela & Velavision  \nRobot Stories  \nHaunted History Never Alone by Dawn Mullan  \nThe Shinkasen Has Left The Building By Shane Shellenbarger  \nHouston We Have A Problem An Open Letter to Fandom from Leslie Fish  \nPlus our Regular Features: CASFS Business Report  \nEvent Calendar  \nArea events, TV premires, DVD & Movie releases  \nFYI  \nNews and tidbits of interest to fans  \nClub Listings Convention List & Generic Registration Form  \nConNotations  \nCentral Arizona Speculative Fiction Society PO Box 62613  \nPhoenix, AZ 85082  \nNon-Profit Org.
