Paolo Puggioni – Designer

I have a 17 years experience in the game Industry as well as in Publishing, Trading Card Games and Table Top Games.

Overview

I've worked in video games, publishing and advertisement, so I'm confident I could make a difference in a variety of projects.

I've worked on a variety of IPs, from Star Wars to Arkham Horror, Magic the Gathering, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Dune, John Carter of Mars, Vampires the Masquerade, Conan the Barbarian and more, so I'm quite confident working on a broad range of genres.

Some of my latest works are the interior Illustrations for George R.R. Martin's latest Game of Thrones book The Rise of The Dragon, and both covers and interiors for a new illustrated edition of Frank Herbert's Dune published by Centipede Press.

I'm open for cover and interior illustrations!
