Meeting Charlie Adam
I was in Geneva for dinner last night. It was a friend’s birthday and well…. Sumink different innit? So this guy Charlie Adam turned up with his wife and brought Fred a framed print for his birthday. I immediately recognised it as the work of an artist I’ve seem all over Chamonix since I arrived. I had no idea that it was done by a contemporary local artist – I assumed it to be some famous 60’s pop-artist I’d never heard of.

And here he was in the flesh. I was a little bit star-struck to be honest. But the question I really wanted to ask was…. Are the images created in paint? Amazingly not. Charlie creates all his art in Illustrator. Thing is, when I first started developing my Les Houches Royalty cartoon idea, what I had in mind for the graphical style were his images. Turns out he’s been thinking about animation for a while now, and wondering how to move towards flash and bringing movement to his art.
The Les Houches Royalty cartoon idea lives. Sweet.
