My name is Pierce Papke, I’m a concept artist, art director, game developer, and builder working primarily in the games industry.
As of Summer 2026, Recent major projects include:
– The development of my own IP, Darkway (an IP I’ve been working on since High School) currently has video game, in-progress Saga, and graphic novel.
– ULTRA, my next game.
– and preparation for Lightbox 2026
When not creating art, you can find me in the mountains, reading, writing, gaming, doing any physical activity (especially backpacking, karatedo, running, and weight lifting), or making coffee at 6 in the morning. It’s a vibe.

If you are interested in working with me (I am always down for new projects), or want to ask me some questions, please feel free to contact me via email here: pi@ekpap.com
