Sean Adams

Sean Adams builds the box and then destroys it. He seems to be a beautiful combination of goofy and very intellectual. It seems like he is a very talented teacher and an even more talented designer. It’s gentlemen like him who think in so many different perspectives and try to test the limits that make the art world so inspiring and, for lack of a better word, fun. After watching that video of him speaking about his upbringing and how he aspired to be different than what was expected of him, I felt truly inspired. I wish I could have the pleasure of working along side him, or under his wing.

Something about people with that amount of creative talent and lack of awareness of their talent is so special. It makes you want to reach and strive for better things. Certain things he said in the video felt like they were directed right at me, and it made me think. He had an interesting way of thinking about the world and looking at things.

There was a part in the video where he mentioned that you only get out what you put up. When you dig in you get results. I forget frequently that I need to be embedded in the things I do because I know I have talent but I have lack of discipline sometimes. I know that I have all this potential and often I forget its there and that it needs to be unlocked. A lot like Sean, I have a father who wasn’t always the most supportive of my decisions and I think that hearing him talk about that clicked and shook something in my head. Art isn’t just a career for Sean, or even for Margo Chase, but it is a way of life. 

Mr. Adams also mentioned that people who design are born designers and it’s just in their blood. I don’t know if “designing”, per say, is in my blood; but art basically makes up my entire genetic code. I don’t know where I would be or what I would be doing if I weren’t deeply invested in the world of art. It’s my life and I hope that I can make these incredible things along side incredible talent such as Sean Adams one day, and share something immensely amazing with the world in one of the few languages everyone can understand.
