About
Adam Wachtel
I’m an illustrator from Westfield, New Jersey, now based in Sunny Los Angeles. My work draws from mid century design and the graphic novels and children’s books that shaped my childhood.
Research drives my creative process. I approach projects as a visual journalist, uncovering stories while adding my personal perspective and visual approach. Operating my school’s risograph machine has taught me color separation and the power of highly saturated, limited palettes, bringing a printmaking sensibility to my illustration work.
After graduation, I plan to pursue freelance work in the publishing market, while also working between editorial and advertising illustration.
