Episode 39- Interview With Chris Achilleos - a podcast by The Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation

Foundation trustee John Walsh caught up with illustrator, painter and conceptual artist Chris Achilleos.

Best known for his poster artwork and book covers for Doctor Who, Heavy Metal, Willow, Star Trek and more, Chris was also a friend of Ray Harryhausen's. He discusses the times that his career dovetailed with Ray's, and his experiences of creating poster art for 'Clash of the Titans' and unmade project 'People of the Mist'.

We were saddened to hear of Chris Achilleos' passing in December 2021. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time. See more of Chris' incredible artwork on his website:
