“Under the deceptively simple title of illustrator, this practice is framed in a number of ways. Adam plays the liminal space between information and its methods of presentation, pulling the curtain back on knowledge-value while skirting the dull task of making a value judgement. Comic book history and zine culture are the main inspirations for his stippled, almost storybook style of illustration (Shel Silverstein and Robert Crumb lurk obliquely behind his pen) that tends to favor the book and tee shirt as potent, unassuming modes of communication.”
