JJ Releases a very unique Diana Lenticular Print to celebrate the Royal engagement..

To celebrate the Royal Engagement JJ Adams released this very unique Diana Lenticular Print on the 1st of December. A low Edition of only 50. The artwork has been painstakingly re-worked from the original Diana release from 2014 and has been turned into a Lenticular medium print that had been many months in the making. While it may look similar at first, it is in fact very different.

The Lenticular edition works by utilising multiple images and perspectives that have been created separately and then manipulated making the artwork slowly change depending on your viewpoint angle and as you walk past it. You have to see it to believe it, watch the short video below.

JJ Releases Game of Thrones artworks commissioned by Eaton Fine Art.

Exhibition and Print Release in Edinburgh with Robertson Fine Art

JJ attended a very successful solo exhibition with Robertson Fine Art in Edinburgh during the Fringe festival and released some new Scottish themed limited edition prints, his Grandmother who was an artist, was born and raised in Edinburgh and is a big inspiration to him and so he included a few references to her in his new piece "Here be Dragons" of Calton Hill overlooking Edinburgh. His "Ghost Piper" screen prints were inspired by a recent trip through the Glencoe valley and the Highlands recently. Here are some photos from the event.

JJ remixes one of his pieces of artwork for Slash from Guns n' Roses.

JJ gets a rare opportunity to create a piece of artwork for one of his idols.

After realising that Slash the guitarist from Guns n' Roses had posted one of JJ's pieces on his Instagram account, JJ got in touch with Slash and they agreed for him to come up with a bespoke piece of artwork based on the original sold out piece from 2013, a one-off 'Slash' Edition was created and it was sent off to him in L.A. The piece features many of Slash's actual tattoos as well as a nod to Lemmy from Motorhead and many hidden changes and added extras including the large snake to represent Slash himself and a completely new backdrop. The piece had to be recreated from the ground up and we feel it is a fresh new take on a classic piece with a few rock n' roll elements thrown in like the bullet belt, playboy bunny ears, hooped earrings and a Gibson Les Paul.
