Toren Atkinson: The Darkest Of The Hillside Thickets

Join Trish, Rob and Jon for a conversation with... Toren Atkinson has been a professional artist since 1996. He's created book covers, comic books, film production art, illustration for board, card & roleplaying games, album covers, tattoos, and T-shirt designs. Toren is also one of the founding members and the lead singer for the Canadian rock-n-roll/power-pop band, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Toren and lead guitarist Warren Banks formed the band in 1992. The band's name is drawn from a phrase in H.P. Lovecraft's story The Tomb: "I will tell only of the lone tomb in the darkest of the hillside thickets.” Atkinson and Banks decided to create a band around the Cthulhu mythos because it was a topic they were interested in, and it was a unique "niche that needed to be filled.” He has a former podcast called "Caustic Soda" and a current podcast called "Toren's Guide to Everything." Toren co-wrote the Spaceship Zero RPG with his bandmate Warren Banks and is currently working on a new RPG environment called Ruin Nation.
