55 Denis McCarthy

Weird Games and Weirder People

Denis McCarthy has been illustrating and making stock art for indie games since 2016. He has work on multiple tiles in the Indie and OSR community, having a style characterized by an attention to history and architecture. He also sells a lot of stock art, which features in innumerable products, including my own!

I've met Denis in a trip I made to Gen Con one of those years ago while I spent some days in NYC before the convention. We talked about art, games, design, life, and everything else. I had the chance to do this another time since them, and well, in this episode as well.

Denis is not only an artist but also a scholar. He studies a lot and know what he is talking about, as you will hear in the episode. We talk about many of our favorite influences, Denis praised GURPS, he shares some meditation techniques. It was great. Very insightful guest!

So listen up, and let's get weird with Denis McCarthy!

Check out Denis' work!
