Aaron John Gregory
Artist | Professional | Traditional Art
United States
I am an illustrator and cartoonist, who also specializes in scientific visualization, usually in the form of biological illustration. I have an Associates degree in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where I am a continuing student, graduating in Fall of 2014 with a Bachelors in Fin Arts degree in Illustration.

I'm also an alumni of the legendary, Kubert School of Graphic Art, in Dover, NJ.

I also drink copious amounts of coffee.

When not drawing crabs or sea cucumbers, I play guitar and sing in the progressive rock band, GIANT SQUID (giantsquidlives.com). I'm tackling the monumental task of writing, penciling, inking, coloring, and lettering my own comic, THE ICHTHYOLOGIST, continuing the tales told in the Giant Squid album of the same name, and in our 2011 EP release, CENOTES. The first 17 page, promo comic will be released together with the vinyl LP version of the album in summer of 2013, through Translation Loss Records.

In 2012, my fiancée and I started a boutique clothing company called Cotton Crustacean. Scroll down to see our designs, featuring my scientific illustrations of prehistoric marine life, printed on the premium, American Apparel tees. Visit us at cottoncrustacean.com

GODZILLA: RULERS OF THE EARTH


One of my dearest friends, Chris Mowry is writing the ongoing Godzilla comic at IDW, with the new story arc, Rulers of the Earth. This is HUGE. I'm one of the biggest, life long Godzilla dorks you'll ever meet, unless you meet him. He's even that much more serious of a fan, as is also the fantastic artist, Matt Frank, otherwise known here on Deviantart as KaijuSamurai.

For fans of Godzilla, that means this book is going to be so heartfelt and dead on in every aspect it needs to be. But, for comic fans who are not Kaiju nuts, who may not know the two different names used for the gigantic tarantula in the Toho Universe, or in what movie did Baragon make his first appearance, they probably also don't know who Chris and Matt are. So, let me tell you, run down to your local comic book shop, and pre-order this book!! Please! Because, It's going to rule, and it needs to last a long time..

Announcement on the book - HERE.

Hello, it's me again, BurningG, and I have been inspired by your amazing piece of Gorosaurus, the much underrated tyrannosaurid with legs of steel, rampaging through a city. I have writing a story, Fall of the Evangelions, and in my latest entries, Godzilla unleashes all the monsters contained on Monster Island upon the world, including Gorosaurus, Varan, Manda, Baragon, Anguirus, Rodan and more. Now, seeing as I absolutely SUCH at drawings mechs, AKA the evas, I was wondering if I could commission you to draw the evas battling with each of the monsters appearing in the story! It would be a HUGE favor for me and I would appreciate it heavily. I am prepared to offer you 135 points to perform the task. I know this is probably not very much but it's all I have. So what do you say, are you in?

Hey bud, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I wouldn't be able to do it for you. I don't know what points are, but they don't sound like dollars, which is what any starving artist like myself needs to pay the bills. I hope you can find someone with some time on their hands to take on your project with you. It sounds like a great idea for sure! Best of luck!!

That's a bummer man, I was REALLY hoping this would work but I guess I should have known. I understand that you got bills to pay and you're right, 135 points is probably a dollar, if that! Probably not enough for you to draw like 20 pictures of someone else's idea. I totally understand... oh well, I'll see if I can find anyone else who would be interested in this sort of thing! If you ever change your mind, you know where to call!
