Adam Woodhouse is a recent addition to our fair city, but dove in headlong and quickly figured out what we all knew already: that Vancouver is one helluva a place to create stuff. Since his arrival, this native of London, England, has been perplexed by a new discovery: that natural beauty and a world-class city can co-exist in harmony. His bright and colourful graffiti-inspired illustrations should not be missed.

What do you do?

After arriving in Vancouver from London just over four months ago, I was lucky enough to secure a position reevaluating the identity and online presence of a cool downtown company as their in-house graphic designer.

Why do you love being creative in Vancouver?

Coming from London to Vancouver has been a difficult yet fun transition for me. I enjoy working in Vancouver, sharing my ideas and different techniques with the Canadian industry. I think Vancouver is an inspiring place to create and develop my styles commercially; and it's helped I'm surrounded by so much natural beauty!

How would you love to collaborate with local creatives?

I'm not too involved in the art scene here... yet. I'm still finding my feet in Vancouver, but it would be great to meet like-minded people, illustrators and writers in the future for some collaboration!

How can people reach you?

Either on my website, www.adamwoodhouse.co.uk, or on twitter @adamwoodhouse.
