Make It Weirder: Adam Graff on Art, Integrity, and Finding Clients Through Human Connection
In this episode, award-winning London illustrator and educator Adam Graff shares his journey from commercial illustration to a more authentic, personal practice. Adam discusses redefining success, moving away from the pressure of constant commissions, and embracing his unique, playful style—despite being told to “tone down the weirdness.” He delves into the power of creative collectives, specifically Hero of Switzerland, and how collaboration and community fuel his work.
Key topics include:

  • The evolution of Adam’s definition of success and creative fulfilment
  • Navigating rejection and the importance of resilience in the art world
  • The value of human connection in finding clients and selling art
  • The role of collectives in fostering creativity and ego-free collaboration
  • Embracing authenticity, self-trust, and the inevitability of the creative journey

Adam’s story is a testament to the power of staying true to your voice, finding your people, and letting your weirdness shine. Find Adam’s work at @adamgraffart (or, as he jokes, @adamgrafffart).
