In an introduction to Chadwick's autobiographical sketch for Amazon.com, Patrick O'Kelley pointed out, "Through
Concrete, Chadwick has explored the reality of violent crime, the problems of the postmodern media, and the extremes of the environmental movement. Concrete has become a kind of Everyman whose monstrous form belies a gentle heart longing for human contact."
Despite his success and the popularity of his comic book art, Chadwick is not well known to the American public. This reflects the lack of interest in--and respect paid to--the comic book genre by mainstream media. "I get a fair amount of publicity in the comics press, but I haven't seemed to break out much into the wider culture," Chadwick told Authors and Artists for Young Adults (AAYA) in November 1999. "Perhaps if the Concrete movie gets made I'll get a bit of play."
Aligns Self with Creative People
Chadwick was born, raised, and resides in Seattle, Washington. He enjoyed reading comic books and drawing as a boy. He recalled for AAYA that he joined "an amateur press alliance," called Apa-5, when he was a teenager.
