Harry Teasley

Harry Teasley graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art, covered in charcoal and oil paint, back when the Earth's crust was still doughy. He somehow landed a job at Microprose Software as an associate artist working on computers, where his boss said, "We'll teach you the computer part, we need people who can draw and paint." His first game was Sid Meier's Civilization.

In his 30 year career since then, he worked as a Production Artist and Art Director at several companies, on games like Half-Life, Lord of the Rings Online, and Magic Arena. His favorite aspect of being an Art Director was mentoring junior artists, so he decided to stop bothering with the other bits, and joined the AIE faculty, to make the best part of his job the only part of his job.

He lives with his wife and daughters in a house dominated by two ridiculous dogs. When he's not out shooting one of his too-many cameras, he spends his time thinking about cleaning out the garage someday, and getting chewed on by an adorably destructive bulldog puppy.
