Adam Port, a self taught artist from a suburb of New York City, has developed an innovative style of realist artwork. He is gaining great accolades with an array of industries looking for new techniques of artistic expression. Artists Chuck Close and Norman Rockwell and illustrator Drew Struzan have influenced and helped Adam develop a realist style of his own using photo references for each illustration to capture authenticity in all paintings.

Adam's love of sports inspired him to build a strong portfolio of sports related paintings and in 1999 Adam signed a licensing agreement with NBA Entertainment. Orginal Adam Port illustrations are now available at the NBA store in Manhattan.

From there he has gained visibility within the music, television and film industries. Today, Adam works with sports figures, music artists, and entertainment stars creating original illustrations for promotional materials and handling personal commissions.

Each authentic piece of artwork consists of multiple images of the subject. Artwork sizes can rage from poster size to mural size and are accomplished between 75-100 hours. Adam uses acrylic paints and colored pencils on gessoed illustration boards to depict the realism in the photographs and then incorporates them with his creative and original visions.

Adam attended Syracuse University's prestigious School of Visual and Performing arts where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts.
