Hello, I'm Adam Howling, hailing from rural Norfolk in the U.K. My art style is a fusion of 'mid-century modern' vibes, blending digital techniques with ink textures to create bold, graphic pieces. With over two decades of professional illustration under my belt, I excel in interpreting briefs and meeting clients' needs. When not crafting art, you can find me grooving to jazz records from the 1950s and 60s, a passion sparked by their captivating sleeve designs.
Having clinched a prestigious yellow pencil at the D&AD student awards during my illustration studies, my work has graced global platforms, from newspapers to billboards. Penguin Random House, Quarto, and The Guardian are just a few of the prominent names in my client roster. Among my standout projects is a children's book on Inventions, where I brought iconic creations to life, aiming to inspire budding innovators. Clients laud my knack for hitting deadlines, embracing feedback, and infusing textures and wit into my creations.
As a fan of comics like the Beano since my youth, I trace my artistic roots back to creating comics with my brother. Antique shops and flea markets fuel my creativity, providing a trove of vintage treasures. When not immersed in art, I unwind with leisurely walks in Norfolk's scenic landscapes, ideally culminating in a comforting roast dinner. My artistry seeks to add visual intrigue to the world, aiming to leave a lasting legacy in the realm of creativity. And not to forget, Bailey, my feline companion, adds a touch of whimsy to my everyday adventures.
