Adam Riddle is a Freelance Graphic Designer and Illustrator born and raised in the Chicago area. Inspired by comics, cartoons, animation, and urban graffiti art at a young age, he took to drawing and being creative very quickly. However, it was not until college when he would be introduced to graphic design and instantly fell in love with it. As he got older his style would become more defined as it began to clearly display many traits of some of his most prominent inspirational sources. After some years working as a freelance designer he decided to give a shot to teaching art and witnessing the emerging creativity of the new generations of artists. Even though it is his greatest challenge to date, it is also provides just as much fulfillment as creating art on his own.
