Adam's Art - Then and Now

I've recently started drawing again after coming across some of my art from 20 years ago. I'm going to be posting some of that stuff mixed in my with my current efforts. Other than that it's in chronological order. My influences are probably readily apparent (when I'm not straight up copying them to see how it's done). But to list a few of my modern-day heroes: Chris Samnee, Francesco Francavilla, David Marquez, Fiona Staples and Gabriel Rodriguez. Mostly this is here to motivate me to keep drawing every day, and any comments/criticisms are welcome. If you're wondering, I've given the new stuff a rating out of 5 to represent how happy I am with the finished product. I was born in 1987, do the math.

July 2015 - "In Spaaaaaace!". Did this around the time of the anniversary of the moon landing, so I probably should have posted it back then. Better late than never!

June 2015 "And I'm All Outta Bubblegum" Just a quickie of my fave Saga cover. I don't how I ever thought I would do justice to Fiona's amazing work, but it was fun.
