About Me

Hey there! I’m Brandon Coates—a concept artist, illustrator, and art director in the entertainment industry. I’ve been lucky to work with talented teams at Tonko House, Pixar, Sledgehammer Games, and Oculus, contributing to projects including The Dam Keeper Graphic Novel, Cars 3, Coco, and Call of Duty: WWII.
I love creating new worlds and telling stories through design, using color, light, and paint to bring ideas to life. Whether I’m helping shape a project’s vision, solving creative challenges, or just making something fun that whisks you away to a world of whimsy, I always enjoy the process of bringing ideas into reality. I also love teaching and helping others whenever I can—seeing people grow in their craft, exchanging ideas, and sharing whatever knowledge and experience I can is something I find incredibly rewarding.
