I'm Grady!

Iā€™m a senior concept artist and illustrator in the game and animation industry, with clients like Wizards Of The Coast, Blur, Paramount, Eidos and Disney, and Iā€™ve been a professional for over 10 years. I have a tremendous passion for atmospheric storytelling and design.

I started my career in background painting for animation, but always wanted to be a concept or visual development artist. After self-teaching and landing a few indie projects, I decided to spend all of my savings to go to school in Montreal and learn from real working professionals. Long story short, I have been a professional concept artist and illustrator ever since! I also run Patreon and YouTube, and I'm writing and illustrating my own book called Black Shore.

I hope to impart as much knowledge and experience as I can, but most of all I am fervently committed to helping others find joy and fulfillment through the pursuit of drawing and painting.

What people say about me and my art:

"Grady Frederick is a master of narrative environments; his ability to weave atmosphere into every piece provides an incredible lesson in cinematic design. We are delighted to welcome Grady back to our school; his previous classes were a massive hit with our students. Having him share his workflow once again is a fantastic opportunity to learn from such a dedicated artist."

"Grady is an absolute beast both in terms of producing art (obvious) but also in terms of communicating how/why he does things as well as giving feedback. He takes time to explain his thinking and really opens your mind to different possibilities. His streams are highly educational while he's grounded at all times, with confidence but never arrogance, speaking his mind with respect and kindness."

"Iā€™ve been following Gradyā€™s work for many yearsĀ  and with every piece he creates I feel inspired. He has such mastery of mood, light and story. Heā€™s very kind as a person and equally inspiring. When someone asks who are my inspirations Grady is definitely one of the firsts I keep mentioning. Iā€™m very glad to be in his community and get to connect with him in the first place."
