Decayed Beauty III
Traditional figure studies and application of tones and textures continue to be an experimental and experiential part of my process. Audiences worldwide continue to comment and contact me about this process of seeing.
Lion Attack
The work of Boris and Frazetta as a teenager was a source of great inspiration. Now I am able to work in their respective genres thanks to new digital technologies.

Nude Study I
Weston and the entire Early California photo movement F64 had always resonated with me. My photo and my 3D work reflect that influence.

Vulture
I still have to work up a concept and name for the Vulture but I am assuming that he will fill the need of Mentor and confidant. There must be conflict for it to work so I am going to go for an adversarial relationship between the two.
Emo Girl & Friend
She's be joined by a vulture to whom she could confide all of her doubts and fears.
Emo Girl Comic
Am toying with doing a new comic on an Emo Girl who investigates her own death. Sort of a philosophical musing on the nature of life, what we do and why we do it.

Unicorn Triumphant
My college aged stepdaughter asked me to do a picture of a Unicorn. This is the result. I don't think they are as nice as everyone says.

Free Downloadable E-Portfolio
Fans of my work can get a free 25 page portfolio of work suitable for printing at http://issuu.com/jgesq/docs/damned. This is a cross section of the work available here. My limited edition archival prints may be purchased at www.juliangrant.com.and are much higher quality.
Hellcats
Pirates - Booty and treasure and wenches and all the fun! I want to do a Pirate book on female buccaneers and their hi-jinx. I wrote a script ten years ago or more about this and now get a chance to do it.
Silence II
Painting digitally allows me the freedom I never had with canvas. The ability to experiment and correct my mistakes.
Rescue
Robert E. Howard's Conan has always resonated with me. The 1970's great paperback editions with Frazetta covers were my first introductions. This is my homage.
Dragon Slayer
Using new digital painting technology, I am now creating original painted works. Fantasy, of course, dominates.
Chateau
Landscape generation and architectural detailing set the mood. This is the chateau the Cirque De Mal comes to play in.
Belly
I dig photorealism but it's not everything to me. I can make reallooking digital work - it's a challenge.
Carmen
The circus always holds great delight for me. My Cirque De Mal series is also forthcoming in my lifetime. Freaks, Crew Mamas and oddities. This is Carmen.
More Rocketman!
The great thing about this series is that in comic form I can take on some of my favourite themes.
Rocketman Series
One of my hopes is to create a new Rocketman series for review. It's the story of Nazis and the freedom fighters who battle them.
Mystique
Fantasy imagery is my second calling. As a filmmaker and fine art photographer, I am lucky to have my work seen worldwide. As an emerging illustrator I am seeking book commissions, illustration opportunities and printing options.
Boris Influenced
As you can see, my work is greatly influenced by Boris and Julie Bell, Frazetta and other fantasy artists.
Harley Ad
I am available for conceptual art and photo realistic renderings at a reasonable fee. Check out this spec Ad for Harley Davidson. No motorbike required!
MOSH
I'm still trying to get made MOSH - an adaptation of Kristyn Dunnion's great teen novel, MOSH PIT, by Red Deer Press. You can read my 435 comic adaptation (the storyboard of the film) at www.webcomicsnation.com/jgesq
Lynx
When I'm not making movies, I make comics. You can read them online at www.webcomicsnation.com/jgesq
American Witch
Just did this this morning. I blame Rob Zombie and fantasy for pretty mch everything. Oh yeah, Jodorowsky, Bosch and Witkin as well.
Fantasy Art
Thank you for your kind words about my work. I also enjoy doing fantasy illustrations as well.
This Yakuza hottie is one example.

Need
The images are fast - reminiscent of 70's exploitation art. Bizarre. Bright. Vivid. They need to come out.
Mistress Of Desire
I have not made music today. I have not worked on anything other than art. I am consumed with creation.
Dragon Maiden Master
Each image is unique and yet unites with the theme of the series. DRAGON MAIDEN MASTER is an homahe to fantasy illustration yet still is linked to the great Gods of the past.
Contessa Of Eternal Sorrows
I present these forgotten Gods as I see them. In portrait poses. As if ready to be reunited with their public and admirers.
Of Those That Have Come Before
This is the name of my new series of work. Dedicated to forgotten Gods, Deities and Demons.
AUTO EROTIC INQUEST is inspired by the works of macabre photographer Joel Peter Witkin and my fascination with decay and the black and white archival image.
New Horror Art
As my body of work grows, I have decided to start posting the finished work here for consideration of sale and commission. Please contact me if you are interested.
