I saw a curious, full-page ad for Adam & Company in a recent issue of the thick quarterly New American Paintings. I say it was curious because it consisted of a richly layered, digital illustration/photo mash-up and the name “Adam & Company,” and nothing more. There were no enormous logos or taglines. No product callouts. Just the name, and a wonderful image. So what did I do: exactly what marketing directors world over think people won’t do. I went to their website.

Adam & Company is run by Adam Larson, and is based out of Boston, Massachusetts. Maybe I’ve had my head in a hole, but I hadn’t heard of him, and when the first portfolio images parsed onto my screen I was shocked… This stuff is really good. And it’s hard to describe too… Everything from excitingly contemporary, super-minimal logos to lavish digital illustrations. No matter what you’re looking at, everything seems so fresh.
