This weeks creator showcase focuses on Adam McLevey. Adam is well known locally as lead artist on the Royal Hotel mural project and has had his work featured as part of a Banksy v Bristol museum exhibit in 2009.
As well as his street style Adam has a fondness for popular culture in his images.

An artist with a great talent for character painting in a unique style, Adam created 'Steve'. Steve is a creation which whilst maintaining the McLevey style, also leaves you to be in no doubt about who the character is.
'Steve' first became popular during Adams 'one pound, one stamp' project although I became aware of his work during his Persona Project which focused on 1 character a day for a full year. An amazingly dedicated project starting October 2012. I was lucky enough to purchase an item from this project and it takes pride of place in my office.
Adam has also embarked on a Persona 2.0 project which featured another yearlong project this time a weekly offering on a larger scale.
As well as fitting in these projects adam also takes on commisons for his work and can be contacted via his website and twitter below.
