Clever People: Adam James Turnbull

The second part of our new blog series Clever People features a talented artist and friend who's creative abilities constantly blow our minds. Adam James Turnbull has been honing his skills for years now and his artworks and illustrations have been featured around the world. He was kind enough to take some time out of his busy day to answer a few of our questions.

Who are you, what do you do and what is your weapon of choice?

My name is Adam James Turnbull and I am an illustrator and graphic designer. I run a small design studio called Vacation Creative and I'm also represented for my illustrations by Colagene in Europe, Canada and America.

My weapon of choice would be my Wacom tablet. Most of my things these days are totally digital and without this little thing I would be lost.

Where do you get your inspiration for your craft?

Everywhere and everything - internet, books, weather, people. It generally depends on the job.

2012 is looming, what do you look forward to this year?

I hear the world is going to end in 2012, I'm looking forward to explosions. But I'm also looking forward to illustrating more, a solo exhibition of a collection of work from the past few years as well as working on my studio, Vacation.

What is the biggest lesson you have learnt in life thus far?

Everything will always work out, so long as you keep at it. 

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Skagen, Denmark one of my favourite places I've been and I plan to go back and live a summer there.

If you could be a cereal, what would you be?

Muesli, a little mix of everything.

Where can we find your work?
