'''Glenn Chadbourne''' (born October 19, 1959) is an American artist.  He lives in [Newcastle, Maine](/source/Newcastle%2C_Maine). He is best known for his work in the horror and fantasy genres, having created covers and illustrated books and magazines for publishers such as [Cemetery Dance Publications](/source/Cemetery_Dance_Publications), [Subterranean Press](/source/Subterranean_Press), and [Earthling Publications](/source/Earthling_Publications).  Chadbourne is known for his sense of humour and down to earth manner, as well as the stark honesty of his work.

Glenn Chadbourne attended [Lincoln Academy](/source/Lincoln_Academy_(Newcastle%2C_Maine)) before continuing his education at The Portland School of Art.  He also attended the [University of Maine at Augusta](/source/University_of_Maine_at_Augusta), as well as the [University of Southern Maine](/source/University_of_Southern_Maine).

His first published work was in the late 1980s for the [Stephen King](/source/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](/source/Rick_Hautala) and was asked to illustrate his short story collection ''Bedbugs''.   After [Cemetery Dance Publications](/source/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.<ref name="wiscasset">{{cite news |last1=Thayer |first1=Suzi |title=Glenn Chadbourne: Hard-wired for horror {{!}} Wiscasset Newspaper |url=https://www.wiscassetnewspaper.com/article/glenn-chadbourne-hard-wired-horror/43325 |access-date=15 December 2024 |work=Wiscasset Newspaper |date=31 October 2014 |language=en}}</ref>
