Lucas Graciano

Thanks Craig for the invite into a crew of amazingly talented artists.  I feel extremely honored to be a part of it.  Some of you I've gotten to know pretty well and the others I will look forward to getting to know better.

I live in southern California with my unbelievably supportive wife and our beautiful 1yr old daughter.   I attended the Watts Atelier of the Arts where I got all of my formal training.  I now teach a couple of classes there and am proud to be a part of such a special school.  I was a self-taught digital artist until I started training traditionally.  I fell in love with oils and now paint strictly traditional.

My client list includes Wizards, Pyr, Sony, Paizo, and Blizzard among others.  For the last year I've been trying to figure out how to balance being a stay-at-home dad and a freelance illustrator - not sure if I've figured it out yet, but it is getting a little easier.  I hope I will be a worthy addition to an already overwhelming group of great talent.

To kick off here is a panorama shot of my studio and few new and not so new pieces.  

Up until about a year ago, I was sharing my studio in a 10x10 dining room with my cat's litter box.  That wasn't pleasant.
