Doug Kovacs

Doug Kovacs grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, playing Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs. At 16, he thought he invented cubism, but then realized he was mistaken. In 1996, he received a BA from Columbia College Chicago. Since then, he has worked on many projects, including 3rd and 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, collectible trading card illustrations, and concept art for miniatures games.

Doug may be best known for his work with Goodman Games in developing the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. Recently, he has begun creating a series of art/gaming books called the Hobonomicon. He continues to produce images that he believes would never have come into existence without the application of his own personal gumption.
