22 — He/him/his

Illustrator, 2D Animator, & Motion Graphic Artist.

My passion is creating—

— no matter what medium it may take. Everything I do is fueled by passion, and that's why it looks good.

---------------------------

Specializing in 2D animation and video compositing, I find myself particularly drawn to letting my inspirations come from music and music videos. I love making the most out of the video medium; showing, not telling.

But most of all, I like staying weird and unconventional in all of my content. Whether it's illustration, animation, or compositing, I aim to use each in a way that rouses the viewer— I want to evoke something visceral. Even if I have to be a little "strange" to do so :)

That all said,

Enjoy my portfolio!

About Me

Adam Eckel

I currently work out of Bowling Green, OH, and I've lived in Ohio all my life. (unfortunately)
I am a 2026 graduate of Bowling Green State University. I have a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Digital Art.My passion is creating, no matter what medium it may take. All of my artworks are passion projects; I do what makes me happy, and I think that's what gives me the ability to make them turn out pretty damn cool. I'm always happy as long as I'm creating fresh and unique things, no matter what they may be. I like to learn about folks' goals and ideas, whether it's commission or commercial. I aim to exceed expectations wherever I go, because your interests & passions are mine, too. And more importantly, I'll make those ideas manifest into something pretty damn cool.I hope to take my career and my passions into a job supporting my artistic journey. I have great admiration for small studio/indie projects, because I love to support my community of artists. That being said, I'm happy as long as there's a tablet pen and a drink with ludicrous amounts of espresso in hand.I love sharing unique experiences and hearing what each person's passion is. When other people are passionate about something, then so am I. Ramble to me, spill your thoughts and feelings; it's what I love about art— now let's make it look sick.

⬐ Also, witness my pets. Thanks. :)

"End of Beginning"
Trigger/Sensitive Content Warning: Self-Harm and Dysphoria.
A short animation mixed with typography and motion graphics. The plot follows two characters who seem to share similarities. It is a reflection of 'past self', but visualized as a literal communication— almost an argument between the two.

"BE, LOVED"
(Unreleased)
Trigger/Sensitive Content Warning: Drug/Alcohol Usage.
My BFA film; featuring a non-linear storytelling method following a character with ASD. Highlighting the wide range of contradictory behaviours experienced. It shows the audience what typical teenage stupidity can look like in a mentally ill person. And, serves as an encouragement piece to folks with ASD to get themselves out there.
