For several years I’ve been drawing the built environment in North Omaha, including individual buildings, churches, homes and streetscapes. In 2017, I self-published a collection of drawings with vignettes about them called Drawing North Omaha. I also create customized works, commissioned pieces and special projects — contact me for more info.

Drawing North Omaha
Featuring 40 drawings of historical buildings in North Omaha, Nebraska, these are line drawings were made as an homage to the graffiti Adam admired while growing up in the community during the 1980s and 90s. Each drawing is unique, and there is a vignette about each location. There’s also a link for more information about the subject of each drawing.
