Jason Adam is a fine artist and designer with over ten years experience solving the world's communication problems through print and web. Jason's work can be loud, fluid and simultaneously moving, and his commitment to excellent design and art direction is only rivaled by his think-outside-the-rhombus outlook. He chases after trends, hunts them down, and distills their essence into a fragrance he bottles and sells in Paris for $856/oz. Jason would also like to inform as many people as possible that Prince's 1989 Batman soundtrack is a modern masterpiece. So say we all.
