Adam
Graff has been a practising illustrator since 1994, and is also a senior
lecturer in Graphic Design & Illustration at the University of Hertfordshire.
He has sat on the council of the Association of Illustrators since 1997.
Adam
has developed his unique, quirky style using traditional drawing techniques,
often combined with photography, to describe a world that is rich in inspiration,
taking a fresh, freakish but honest look at the stranger side of life.
"I have an unhealthy fascination with many aspects of every day life
including ice cream vans, bad shop mannequins, fun fairs, chewing gum
constellations, price tags, freak shows, lost playing cards, fruit labels,
hand written signs, knitted toys, the circus, numbers, truck toys (those
discarded toys strapped to the front grill of trucks), telephone box escort
cards, but most of all with the abundance of seemingly usual but actually
unusual people that live inconspicuously amongst us".
Adam has had 24 pieces of work selected over 10 years to be included in
'Images', the Association of Illustrators annual showcase for 'The Best
of British Illustration', achieving a gold award in the Print & Design
category. Selected pieces of illustration have also been featured in 3X3
Illustration Annual and in the recently published 'Thinking Visually'
by Mark Wigan. His work has been recognised internationally appearing
in publications in Sweden, Germany, Italy, North America, Thailand and
New Zealand.
