Site updated 18th March, 2010 - site being rebuilt soon - stay tuned!

Welcome to Sin Cabeza (Headless in Spanish) this site features art works by Grant Bates.

I have over 8 years experience in design - My venture into graphic design and multimedia based applications began back in 2000 where I commenced studies in animation with Moreton 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 worked as an animator for the Australian Defence Force's "Technical Training Facility" and worked on an educational CD ROM.

At the end of 2004 I  worked 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. In 2004 I also commenced the Bachelor of Multimedia at Griffith University. I majored in design but withdrew in the 2nd year and enrolled into the Design degree (2006) which I have successfully finished and now hold a Bachelor Degree in Design, majoring in Visual Communication.

My interests have always been towards Heavy Metal music, subcultures, horror films and macabre art. My main goal is to design predominantly for bands or anyone in need of 'darker' art - book covers - posters - Tshirts etc.

You can email me on grantbates385@gmail.com and I will be happy to answer any questions about my work and what I can offer.

Regards,

Grant Bates
