Adam deGrandis | game artist, art director, and educator

I’m an Associate Professor at Maine College of Art & Design, where I teach courses on game art, game design, and game history.

My friend Ash and I make small, colorful, juicy games under the banner Ash & Adam’s Games. You can find them on Steam and Itch.io. Click on the images for detailed project breakdowns.

I do contract visual design, art direction, art production, and art consulting for the indie/small games community through my business entity, Chickadee Games. If you have questions about any art-related topics, I probably have answers; I can produce every type of art found in games and I’ve been making games professionally since 2004. Reach me at Chickadee at ChickadeeGames dot com to set up a consulting call.

Below are breakdowns of some of the projects and teams I've helped.

I’ve given a couple of talks that people have found helpful. Cheap, Fast, and Flash: an Indie Art Direction Adventure is about the visual design and production of Tooth & Tail. How to Find and Engage a Great Artist is a guide for designers and programmers looking to hire an artist.
