Allstate Moving Systems commissions local talented artist, Adam Stone, to paint a large painting for their General Managers office. The painting depicts a large beautiful elephant on the move, traveling through the graffiti riddled city of Los Angeles. Many of Adams masterpieces have a dream like quality about them, making his pieces mesmerizing. This piece featured above has found a prominent spot on one of their office walls. Check out more of Adam Stone’s work on his site, www.adamstone.com.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Adam Stone.

Adam, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today? I was born on Hollywood Blvd in 1966. I come from a hyper-creative family of professional fine artists. Both parents were early pioneers in the burgeoning realm of LA-based street art festivals in the 70’s. My mother, Carole Shultz, started experimenting with clay figures in the bathroom of our rented Duplex on 4th Street in West Hollywood - often using myself and my younger siblings as reluctant models.

Adam Stone is one of my very favorite artists in Los Angeles. His work never fails to bring a smile to my face and engage my intellect as I sort through his surreal creations and wonder what it all means. So I figured I would ask him.
