Adrian Clifford

Part of

The Perch

Most days, and many nights, Adrian can be found with a pencil or mouse in hand, bent to the task of making simple ideas complex, or complex ideas simple. He has a taste for the mythic and a fondness for the everyday, which are reflected in his work with a spectrum of imagery ranging from scary to beautiful (or both at the same time).

As part of the Rinzen collective he has produced works ranging from the anarchic creativity of collaborative art projects to systemic & minimal communications and branding design. Other highlights include logo, font and publication design for the Batman Year 100 comic series for DC Comics, and an immersive, fantastical forest-scape room for Hotel Fox in Copenhagen.

Print is a love, storytelling a goal, image-making a calling. He lives and works in Brisbane.
