About us
Hi to you all.
Finally we completed the new website, the new Juanjo Castellano official website.
Another step what continues the saga of previous Juanjo Castellano´s Black Art sites. But this new site is special since we are celebrating now the first 15 years doing fantasy and terror artwork for you all. It´s something really important for us, and of course, we are really proud to stay up here for this long time. So we decided to do a new website, more simple but better in order to check the art in a easy way and quickly download adcess. I hope you all enjoy the new illustrations and site designs. Juanjo Castellano is a professional graphic artist located in Spain. Throughout his professional career as an illustrator, designer, and animator he has the chance to develop his skills for various major international Companies such as Sony, MUJA museum, or Coca Cola. The artist won a internatinal dinosaur illustration contest on the SALAS DE LOS INFANTES museum, a honorific mention on LOURINHA museum International illustration Contest and its dinosaur artwork were published on book like THE COMPLETE DINOSAUR of Indiana University Press university or magazines just like PANGEA, PREHISTORIC TIMES....
The artist did a big backdrop painting for PLEO, on CES (Las Vegas).
Juanjo worked for some book covers just like "Lygtemaend" of Benni Bodker and currently working in another book cover project for a Death Metal Guide book on Japan.
Beside it the artist made illustration covers for DVD releases of AVULSED "Deathgenerations" 25 th Anniversary, and The Book Of Ogan of ORDEN OGAN (Germany).
The artist´s progress starts off with his beginning in the field of comic books going on to illustration, animation, design, and videogames. However, the art gathered in this web site show the darkest and most personal samples of his work into the musical´s field mainly doing cd covers, logos, websites, and layout cds for bands and labels such like UNLEASHED, CENTURY MEDIA, VOMITORY, ORDEN OGAN, REVEL IN FLESH, VARATHRON, PAGANIZER, PORTRAIT, AVULSED, METAL BLADE, NOMINON, ALTAR, CARNATION, GATES OF ISHTAR, EMBALMER, NATTRAVNEN, SENTINENT HORROR, OBSCURE INFINITY, ONIRICOUS, DEATHGASM RECS, QUINTA ESSENTIA, STORTREGN, ONTBORG, ENIGMATIC, ERED, RIBSPREADER, CEMETARY WINDS, COFFINS, HEADHUNTER D.C., XTREEM MUSIC, NIGHTSPIRT, SOLOTHUS, SORCERY, SOULBURN, AVENGER, SATHANAS, DEMONCY, SOULROT, MASS BURIAL, EYE OF PURGATORY, MISTWEAVER, MOLESTED DIVINITY, MOONDARK, MORDBRAND, KATHAROS, HORACLE, UNHOPED, UNSOULED, VASAELETH, CRUCIAMENTUM, FLOGA RECS, VANHELGA, ICONOCLASM, SACRAMENTAL BLOOD, ANDSOLIS, ASTRALBORNE, VARATHRON, WINTER OF SIN, ENTRAILS, TOXIC ROSE, DETERIOROT, NASTY SURGEONS, ROTTREVORE, DEATHGASM RECS, INTERMENT, THORNBRIDGE, THORNSPAWN, TORTURERAMA, TRIMEGISTO, TROMORT, SOL DE SANGRE, PANICO AL RUIDO, KONQUEROR RECORDS, ASMODEUS, QUINTA ESSENTIA, BLASPHERIAN, BODYFARM, CANDLE, DAMNATION DEFACED, RECKLESS MANSLAUGTHER, GOREGANG, GOTHIC ART, GRISLY, INCARDINE, GROTESQUE DEITY, HARM, DEMORED, DEHYDRATED, CARDIAC ARREST, SEAX, MURDERLINE, MURDERY, PUTREVORE, ANTIOCH, BEHEADED, ELDEREON, VELOCIDAD ABSURDA, ROAR, BREATHLESS, BYOK, PRAISE THE FLAMES, AEVERON, BLASPHEMY CRUELTY, DEVOURER, DIE HARD, DISCREATION, DISFIGUREMENT, EXODIA, FETICIDE, DYING, OBSCURE DOMAIN, ERED, AVULSION, ICY VALE, ILLICIT RITE, BYOK, NEPHELIUM, NEUROTIC DISORDER, REX SHACHATH, OSMOSE PROD, CONSILIUM, DEAD SHAPE FIGURE, DEMONIC MANIFESTATION, TEMPLE ABBATOIR, ZORAKARER, IMPERIO NOCTURNO, INSATANITY, ARTIC FLAME, VANMAKT, HACAVITZ, FROM BEYOND PROD, X-PIRAL, EVIL INCARNATE, SPECTRAL MORTUARY, PULVERISED RECS, DENIAL, ANAL VOMIT, LEICHENZUG, ELDEREON, KREON, EXISTING THREAT, BELIAL, among many others.
And like habitual, music is a important source of inspiration. The passion for the darker music provides always an endless flow of strength and creativity. Bands such as Bolt Thrower, Morbid Angel, Slayer, Avenger, Katharos, Mass Burial, Quinta Essentia, Dissection, old Entombed, Vomitory, Death, Grave, Dismember, Immortal, Primordial, Bathory, Dark Funeral, or Demoncy among others. The nature is maybe the most important inspiration for the artist. Juanjo adores the frosty look of forests in winter, the bloodcurling wail of the wind down the creepy mountains, the romantic decay of ruins, ...all of the ancient and ancestral that inspired its soul. Graphic´s artists like Mignola, John Buscema (RIP), Douglas Henderson, John Sibbick, Jim Lee, Brian Froud, William Stout, Joe Kubert (RIP), Dan Seagrave, Necrolord, Riddick, or John Howe among others are a big influence for the artist,. Strongly influenced by H.P Lovecraft´s tales and many other classic terror and mystic literature such as Clive Barker, Tobe Hooper, John Milton´s Paradise Lost, J R R Tolkien, Michael Crichton, Stephen king, or Bram Stoker´s Dracula, his works reflect the scarified soul of these masters of terror. Also great films like Salem´s Lot Mistery (classic), Hellraiser, Alien, Jurassic Park, Lord Of The Rings trilogy, o Vengeance The Demon..
