Gary Winnick

Gary Winnick is an American artist and game designer who co-founded Lucasfilm Games alongside Ron Gilbert in 1987. He served as art director and co-creator of Maniac Mansion, one of the most influential adventure games in history and the foundation of the SCUMM engine that would power LucasArts titles for over a decade. Winnick’s original artwork from the Maniac Mansion era — including concept sketches, cover artwork, and promotional materials — represents some of the rarest and most historically significant pieces in video game art collecting. His work bridges the worlds of independent game development and fine art, with original pieces commanding significant prices at auction.
