Fantasy Artists

Lucas Graciano is a native of Southern California. He began studying art in highschool and continued his education at a local community college. Not being able to gain the skills he wanted to pursue various art venues, he tried jumping right into working as an artist. He started his career as a caricature artist, working at local theme parks and events in San Diego County. In 2002, Lucas won multiple awards at the National Caricaturist Network competition. After a good run doing caricatures Lucas wanted to work on his drawing skills. He found a small local art school and little did he know the school would turn out to be one of the best in the nation. Lucas has been attending the Watts Atelier of the Arts since 2001. In 2005 he was asked to teach and moved from student to teacher/student. During his time at the atelier Lucas explored a variety of art careers from visual development, storyboarding, and conceptual design in the video game world to illustration for books, card games, and game manuels.

Lucas still teaches at the Watts Atelier and freelances as a fantasy illustrator. Some of his clients include Upperdeck, Blizzard Entertainment, Wizards of the Coast, Sony Online Entertainment, Reef, White Wolf, and many more. Lucas' work can be seen in different magazines, including "American Artist: Drawing", "Imagine FX", and "Fantasy Art Magazine" China. His work is also featured in "Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art" as well as "The Art of World of Warcraft TCG-Vol.1".
