Julius Ciss, Executive Director of JEWS FOR JUDAISM (Canada), was a prolific Advertising and Editorial Illustrator in North America from 1975 to 2004. He was also a popular Illustration Professor at The Ontario College of Art & Design from 1977 to 2004. The images below are just a few samples of the hundreds of paintings he created during his award-winning illustration career in Canada.
All Julius' paintings were done by hand, exclusively in Acrylic paints and without the aid of computers. The computer digital technology that we know of today, to create such highly realistic and complex painterly images, did not exist during Julius' career. Most of his paintings are approximately 18" x 24" in size and usually painted on Bainbridge board or canvas board.
Julius retired from creating and teaching illustration in 2004 to devote himself full-time to the vital counter-missionary work of JEWS FOR JUDAISM (Canada). You can contact Julius at juliusciss@bellnet.ca.
As of 2004, Julius Ciss does not accept any assignments whatsoever for 'creating' illustrations.
However, if you are interested in obtaining copyright to use one of his paintings, please contact Julius.

 This was my very first freelance job as an illustrator.
It was the cover of a record album for an obscure Canadian
Rock band. I was so desperate for illustration work that I did
the job for free just to get a printed sample for my portfolio.
