The Nightmarishly Cool Art of Adam Miconi

Heisenbat by Adam Miconi

At Salt Lake City's first Comic Con back in 2013, I met a man who is now one of my favorite artists, Adam Miconi. His booth caught my eye as his very unique, dark, in-your-face portraits stood out in the crowd of lighthearted fan art. (Zany Deadpool stuff was at an all-time high that year.) I went home with a couple of his posters and even have them hanging in the background of the majority of my PickedLastJake videos.

Fast forward to earlier this year when I bumped into him again at the Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperince. While the convention itself was nothing more than half-hearted, it was nice to see one of my favorite artists get a place on the floor again. I grabbed a cup of coffee, sat down at his booth, and had a nice little chat with the guy.

Unlike his art, Adam is a very nice and welcoming dude. When he isn't making totally rad paintings and digital art, he is designing art for indie game developers, busting out the oil paints and showing his kids the ropes, or putting together online tutorials and free resources for his website. He is a firm believer in helping the art community as a whole and pushing those who dream of doing art for a living to pursue that dream. So check out his website, buy a cool print or two, and learn a few tricks of the trade.
