Once more, with feeling:

Originally from Toronto, I spent a decade in New York before moving to my husband's hometown of Honolulu, where and we finally adopted a dog which is a BIG deal for us. Together, we opened a gift shop and bookstore called SMALL KINE GIFT and I hope you'll visit someday.

Michelle Branch's The Spirit Room is a top tier album for me. I was previously the studio designer at ad agency Barton F. Graf and some other stuff. 

I'm a creative person who has been making and sharing on the internet since my first fan website at twelve years old. After years of expressing myself online, I went to school for graphic design and learned to express myself slightly "too much" in more tangible forms. Many people call me Adam JK because of my initials and then it became the name of my Legal Business Entity® and idk I'm goofy so it works.

My imperfect illustrative work embraces the world with "backhanded optimism" and a dark sense of humor. I'm hopeful but realistic. I'm "positivity-adjacent." I’m interested in the ephemera of daily life, a nice little thing that makes you feel better for some reason (that paper you keep in your wallet for three years) and creating honest, accessible work.

My whole deal grew from the surprise success of novelty balloons. If I can make a creative life work, maybe you can too. I hope you will.
