Hello! I am a Bafta award winning artist from Edinburgh, Scotland. 

Over the course of my 15 year career I have worked as an illustrator and concept artist for clients including No Code (Silent Hill: Townfall), Wizards of the Coast (Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons), Valve, Netflix and Games Workshop, and as Art Director at Axis Animation creating AAA cinematics for studios like Bungie, Blizzard Entertainment, Riot Games, Skybound and ArenaNet.

I am currently developing my first game, a TTRPG called Pale Tides, at my new game studio, GRIMOIRE. More on that soon!

I am lucky enough to have had my work featured in Spectrum Fantastic Art and a bunch of other great publications, and I was honoured to be featured in Develop's esteemed '30 Under 30' spotlight. I illustrated a Dark Souls book one time, and sometimes give talks/workshops at events including Industry Workshops, IFCC, THU Berlin and IAMAG.

I am super passionate about my work and always happy to chat - please feel free to drop me a line at the contact form below if you have any questions or would like to work with me, or you can use my email: paulscottcanavan@gmail.com.
