The Naked Texture Artist - Adam Capone - Episode 1

Send us a text

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.

Do you know Adam Capone? Probably not. He quietly goes about his work as an artist in games development. He definitely doesn't seek out the limelight. Which is odd, as he is probably the world's most famous texture artist!

I had the good fortune to meet Adam when we were both studying at University of Teesside for a career in games and 3D art. I easily count him as the most creative person I have ever met – which says something after all these years working as an artist. To me, he is the next Tim Burton, we never had. So I am both very interested in what he gets up to, as well as excited to present him to you.

This is the first slice of a three and a half hour long conversation. Naturally we are easing into the conversation here in the first episode, as two friends catching up, but we keep exploring more and more serious issues as the interview progresses. 

Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Adam does on the side:
