Designer Spotlight: Adam of the Poster List
Adam at San Francisco's Renegade Craft Fair
One of our go-tos for fun and affordable wall art is the Poster List. The colorful, witty pop art brightens up any wall for a mere $11. Pretty rockin', right?! A few designs have even been known to decorate the work spaces around Kaboodle HQ so we were thrilled to meet the artist, Adam, behind the designs at San Francisco's recent Renegade Craft Fair.
Originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, Adam moved to Long Beach last year where he creates his posters and manages his online shop. Celebrity clients include Liz Phair, Tom Green, and many more. You can snag one or more of his cheeky designs by ordering from his Web site.
Read on to get a glimpse into Adam's style and his inspiration behind his work and be sure to check out our favorite Poster List picks!
Kaboodle: How would you describe your personal style?
Adam: Hmm, hard to say. A lot of people say vintage or retro...never really intend to do that...but I'll take it. I love typography and vibrant colors and simple, striking imagery.Originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, Adam moved to Long Beach last year where he creates his posters and manages his online shop.
