Biography
Biography
Chadbourne is known for his sense of humour and down to earth manner, as well as the stark honesty of his work. Chadbourne attended Lincoln Academy before continuing his education at The Portland School of Art. He also attended the University of Maine at Augusta, as well as the University of Southern Maine. His first published work was in the late 1980s for the Stephen King related newsletter called Castle Rock. He won a contest that called for artists to submit something Stephen King related. He wrote, illustrated, and self-published a few comics called ChillVille and Farmer Fiend's Horror Harvest in the early 1990s. He eventually met Rick Hautala and was asked to illustrate his short story collection Bedbugs. After Cemetery Dance Publications printed Bedbugs in 1999, things began to click for Mr. Chadbourne, and he has since illustrated work for many of the top names in the horror genre. He illustrated The Secretary of Dreams: Volumes 1 & 2, graphic collections of Stephen King stories that were published by Cemetery Dance Publications in 2006 and 2010. Volume 1 was published in three limited editions.
