Meet Dungeon Con 2 special guest, Doug Kovacs!

Doug Kovacs grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, playing Dungeons and Dragons and other RPGs . He drew his way through High School, avoiding involvement in most things but art class, where he cultivated a love for all forms of painting and drawing. At 16 he thought he invented cubism, but then realized he was wrong. He ingested punk, metal, and prog rock throughout his youth which continues to this day. In 1996 he received a BA from Columbia College Chicago, however over four years of school it was never mentioned that the internet and digital media might completely change the world. Then they did.

Since then he has adjusted , and has worked on many projects including 3rd and 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, concept art for miniatures games, and collectable trading card illustration including Sorcery: Contested Realm and Magic the Gathering.

Doug may be best known for having worked with Goodman Games in developing Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, his sprawling body of work for DCC and his immersed involvement in the culture of it’s community.

Doug now conjures a series of art/gaming books ostensively for DCC RPG called the Hobonomicon. He continues to produce images that he believes will never come into existence without the application of his own personal gumption.
