Eddie Adams

Hometown:

Poplar Bluff, MO... Springfield, MO... It's like, whatever.

Statement:

Do you use the word “dude” a lot?

Do you like bad movies for all the wrong reasons?

Have you ever sang a Pantera song to your cat?

    If so, then you might dig on my paintings.  Even if the aforementioned list does not pertain to you, these paintings may still be so far up your alley, that they’ll be totally in some other alley all the way across town…  And when you try to find this alley, you’ll get lost and get super mad, and start yelling at your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife/dog/mom, even though they didn’t do anything to deserve getting yelled at in the first place.  You jerk!

I want art to be fun.  I want it to be humorous and compelling.  I want it to look like it comes right off the CD cover of some throwaway band from the ‘90s.

I also can't seem to stick to a particular media for very long.  I'll spend six months with ink brushing, a year with acrylics.  I'll spend forever and a day with polymer clays, then go back to the beginning again!  Good for versatility, I suppose...

There's no "resume" section here?  Really?  Maybe I missed it.  Here, I'll fix it:

MY KIND-OF RESUME:

• Work featured at Margaret-Harwell art museum in Poplar Bluff, MO.
• Hired by R.K.M. Enterprises to paint window signs at Taco Bells in Missouri's Bootheel area.
• Comissioned by Call of the Wild Gentlemen's Club for promotional mural work.
• Comissioned by WildOutProductions.org for t-shirt design.
• Album/t-shirt design for surf/horror rock band The Boogeymen.
• Album/t-shirt/promotional design for rock band The Filthy Thirds.
• Oh yeah, this one time I painted a life-sized Ninja Turtle in the basement of my old apartment.  But I'm sure it's been painted over by now.
