Grant Willingham is an illustrator living in Lubbock, Texas. Specialising in working with music industry clients, Grant produces dynamic gig posters, merchandise designs and release artwork. The vibrancy and energy of these illustrative styles are also adapted for his clients in the hospitality and retail industries.

He attended Texas Tech University where he received his BFA in Communication Design. Though primarily an independent creative director and brand designer, Grant has developed his illustrative style with the aim of bringing brands to life. He has worked with musicians, organisations, and restaurants to explore various ways to use illustration to tell stories and bolster brand experiences.

Printmaking and editorial illustration have become Grant’s passion. His work balances the commercial objectives of his clients while encouraging contemplation in the viewer. He uses a blend of traditional and digital media to explore beliefs and to communicate life experiences, both joyful and sorrowful. His inspirations include Gustave Doré and gig poster artists like Ken Taylor and Richey Beckett.
