If you’ve been to a few horror conventions over the years, you’ll notice there are a few different artists set up there. Do you stop by and look at their work, browsing through what they have on display? These artists are bringing their visions of different horror ideas and concepts, in an illustrated way, hoping to catch the eye of a fan wandering by. One of these artists that has been setting up at shows for the last couple of decades is Don England. Doing the old-style pen & ink style of illustrations, his is very unique and very good.
We’ve known Don for many, many years, and know he’s as big of a horror fan as we are, so we invited him onto the show to not only talk horror, but also his art, where he gets his inspirations, and giving fans that might now know this side of the horror shows, a little insight into what it takes to be an artist. As well as his latest project, a little chapter size book called Late Night Snack, that covers a variety of subjects, filled with Don’s artwork, as well as essays on movies, short fiction, a comic, and much more.
