Dave’s gig as a video game Art Director began in 2000 when he founded Big Huge Games in Timonium with three friends, and he now provides artistic leadership for a team of over 100 game developers—including a 26-person art department. Some of the studio’s most successful games include Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends, of which the latter received Gamespy’s 2006 Special Achievement in Art Direction Award and has been lauded by the press as “A playable piece of art…” (Game Revolution) and “… the best-looking RTS I’ve ever played” (PC Gamer). Dave and team are now hard at work on an as-yet-unannounced title for the Xbox360, Playstation3, and Windows platforms.
