April A to Z - N is for Nicholson, Russ

Russ Nicholson is an excellent illustrator who has directed his talents to many things, including many prolific gamebooks.  I interviewed him last year  and he was kind enough to return again, so let's see what he's been up to.

• Who you are and how you got into illustrating gamebooks?

Russ Nicholson. Got started with FF Gamesbooks, The Fiend Folio and have contributed art for many books, games & publications since.

• What you plan on doing now related to gamebooks/solos/RPGs/art?

• What you think the future of gamebooks/solos/RPGs/art  is?

I'm no clairvoyant, but considering the internet and rise of apps, etc. believe it is reasonably healthy for a good while yet.
