Q&A with Cover Artist WILL NICHOLS

I sat down through the magic
that is the internet to chat with
COVER ARTIST WIL NICHOLS
for a brief Q&A to give you all
a little glimpse of the guy behind
the YOU'LL NEVER BE A
PUBLISHED HORROR WRITER TM
COVER ART. I hope you enjoy...

1) So what is your name?

William Nichols. Songjong is
my Artist name my teacher in
Korea gave me.

2) Korea? So you lived in Korea?

Yeah. I've lived in Korea, Germany,
Panama, and traveled all over the
world.

3) A world traveller, very cool, so
what is it you want do?

Become a comic book artist/
illustrator.

4) Who have been some of your
greatest influences, and why?

There are a lot ...Campbell
carries an influence on my drawing
style but the artists that I truly
admire are Frank Frazetta and
Carl Barks. Frank Frazetta is just
the coolest illustrator out there.
One of his illustrations can tell a
story better than most comics.
Carl Barks is the guy who practically
fought for comics to be where they
are now.

5) I can see you really do love the
medium of comics, so I'll end
this mini Q&A with this final
question, What is your most
embarassing comic related
moment?

I'm fairly new to all this so I
havent been embarassed by
anyone or by any of my artwork
....I guess the only thing that
might come close to an embarass-
ment was when some dude in a
forum said my work looked like
Liefields stuff and went on and
on about it. You know what,
scratch that ...I wasnt embarassed
I was pissed off!!
