Remember the original Goosebumps covers? I'm excited to share with you guys my interview with Goosebumps illustrator Tim Jacobus, who shares with us his exciting experiences behind the book series. Goosebumps has sold over 350 million books worldwide and now is also on the big screen with The Goosebumps Movie!

Expect an in-depth interview with Tim Jacobus who shares never told before stories that any Goosebumps fan, young or old would enjoy. Ever heard of the term "don't judge a book by its cover?" Well, Tim Jacobus may literally be responsible for millions of kids growing up judging books by their covers, because I sure did! (JK)

Below is a small art gallery of Tim Jacobus's Artwork from The Goosebumps Universe!

Goosebumps were written by R.L. Stine and the original Goosebumps series had covers designed done by Tim Jacobus which was published by Scholastic. One of the main reasons I wanted to start off "Artistic Voices" with Tim was because, if it not for him and never seeing those covers as a young child, I probably would have not been the creative person I am today!! Those Goosebumps covers laid the foundation to my creativity during my childhood. However, somehow that visual creativity became connected to my musical developement.

The interview is broken into three (3) parts so make sure to check them out and share them with all of your friends! Scroll up for full length video to hear what Tim has to say about his experience with Goosebumps!
