My name is Pierce Papke, I’m an artist and builder. I work as a concept artist, illustrator, and art director, but I also create my own video games. Some of the projects I've worked on: Darkway: Murder of King Mere (independently developed), Dave the Diver, Skypunk's Braincell, Many indie games. (Flavor Tale, Dig Too Deep, Dust Dwellers...), Some street art, Lots of illustrations and concept art (everything from D&D miniatures to my local coffee shop's coffee cup stamps.), ULTRA (my next game!!)
When not creating, you can find me: reading long books of fiction or philosophy, video gaming, nerding out over any and every IP's lore (Bungie's Marathon = new obsession), nerding out over health and biology, or doing any physical activity as long as I have adequate sleep (especially sprinting or backpacking in the wilderness, skiing icy mountains, kayaking the Puget Sound, running forest trails, and weight lifting in dark gyms). I also make coffee in the morning. It’s a vibe.
