About Me

I'm a freelance illustrator --
If you wanna know more about me, check out my official site:
GrantGould.com :)
Along the right hand side I have a list of the projects I've worked on, plus I update with news over there fairly regularly.

My Interests

Art, movies, books, comics, RPGs, drinking, wasting time on the internet.

I'd like to meet:

The people who cancelled "Ed," "Carnivale," "Arrested Development," and "Farscape," so I can punch 'em in the hooey.

Music:

I love soundtracks. Some favorites include the LOTR trilogy (Howard Shore), BSG (Bear McCreary), and Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris, R.I.P.). I also listen to Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails, CCR, The Doors, Sneaker Pimps, Foo Fighters, Tool, Metallica ("Lightning" thru black album), Nirvana, Duran Duran, Beck, Fiona Apple, Faith No More, Portishead, Tenacious D, Radiohead, The Beatles, A Perfect Circle, and many more I'm forgetting.

Movies:

I'm a huge movie geek. Some all-time favorites are the Lord of the Rings movies, the Star Wars movies, Clint Eastwood westerns, James Bond movies, Big Trouble in Little China, The Big Lebowski, Gladiator, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World, the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, Aliens, Conan the Barbarian, Willow, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1&2, and I'm just gonna stop there. I could probably list 100 favorites. In 2006, my favorite movie was probably Pirates 2, which I thought was awesomely entertaining (c'mon, sea monsters rule all). I just saw Children of Men, too, and loved it. That'll be added on to my favorites list.

Television:

Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Heroes, The Office, 30 Rock, Supernatural, and LOST.

Books:

I recently finished up all 7 Harry Potter books. Loved 'em. My favorite's the last one, "Deathly Hallows."

Heroes:

Jack Burton, John Crichton, and the Dude
