About the Artist:
Adam
McDaniel grew up in Connecticut and New Jersey. He attended
New York's Vassar College, winning honors at various festivals
for his student film work and receiving the college's academic
film & cinematography prize upon graduation. He also wrote
and directed a stageplay that had the misfortune of opening
the same night as an on-campus Billy Joel concert.
Drawing since an early age, he is largely a self-taught artist
with no formal training. While in high school, his artwork
won several local and regional art competitions... but when
we went to Vassar, he dropped out of studio drawing after
the very first day of class. Upon the recommendation of an
upperclassman, he turned to theatrical set design as a creative
alternative.
McDaniel
has gone on to serve as a technical director and set designer
for several theatrical stage shows, and as a production designer
and cinematographer for independent films and documentaries.
He currently works in southern California within the field
of post production for TV and film, and does freelance illustration
and writing in his spare time.
