Hi! I'm Adam! I pride myself on creating whimsical, colorful, and feel-good art. Growing up in Western North Carolina, I spent most of my time hiking, camping, or stargazing as a child. Now, as an illustrator, I draw from those experiences and aim to replicate the charm I felt as a kid. #KidsLitArt
