Todd Wills Lockwood (born July 9, 1957)[1] is an American artist specializing in fantasy and science fiction illustration.
Lockwood worked for a design agency for a year and a half, and won numerous awards in the Art Directors Club of New York's annual show.
"I flipped when TSR started having really good art in their products... Jeff Easley's stuff particularly interested me: so moody and fluid, so deft.
"[2] Lockwood decided to try fantasy and science-fiction illustration: "My first artistic influence, like so many in this field, was Frank Frazetta.
"[2] Lockwood listed his other influences as David Wilcox, Peter Lloyd, Boris Vallejo, and Jeff Jones.
"[2] In 1994,[citation needed] he attended Worldcon, Lockwood's first science fiction convention, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, taking some of his Asimov's covers and some other work to show to artists and art directors in hopes of making contacts with people in the science fiction and fantasy publishing world.
The art director, Stephen Daniele, gave me a bunch of character portraits for one of the Spellfire decks, then some book covers for TSR.
"[2] In 1997, Wizards of the Coast acquired the TSR properties and moved Lockwood and his family to Washington state.
