Welcome to Sin Cabeza (Headless in Spanish) this site features art works by me, Grant Bates - Digital Artist & Graphic Designer. www.sincabeza.com
I am currently studying my 2nd year in the Bachelor of Design degree majoring in graphic design with Griffith University's Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, Australia.
However, although I am studying, my venture into graphic design and multimedia based applications began back in 2000 where I commenced studies in animation with TAFE (Tertiary and Further Education) college in Brisbane. From animation I went on to complete studies in digital art, then I obtained the Diploma of Multimedia at the end of 2002.
In 2003 I started my own business Flame Shoes Media in which I attracted business through my own advertising and word of mouth and ended up quite a success. During 2002 I worked as a contracted Flash animator for the Australian Defence Force's "Technical Training Facility" and worked on an educational CD ROM the contract lasted nearly 6 months. During this time also I did an entire branding package for a band called the Temple Godz (see Flame Shoes Media).
In 2004 I commenced further studies in the Bachelor of Multimedia to expand and enhance my knowledge base for my business. I majored in design but withdrew in the 2nd year as I wasn't entirely happy with the subjects and teaching so I enrolled into the Design degree (2006) and haven't looked back since. Also at the end of 2004 I held another contract position with Ice Media a multimedia firm in Brisbane where I worked on animations for another CD ROM project for the Australian Football Leagues' "Auskick" for Kids while on my summer break from University.
My interests are towards Heavy Metal music, subcultures, horror films and macabre art. But I am open to anything that will take my interest.
Regards,
Grant
