Since turning fully professional in 1996, Adam has been awarded a number of accolades with include Best Up and Coming Artist 1999, Best Selling Artist of the Year 2000 and no less than three nominations for Best Published Artist.

For the last few years however, Adam Barsby has sought to redefine his style. He decided to reflect his own childhood experiences, growing up as a child in the 70's and 80's. This in turn fed his fictional landscapes where you can often find a small figure with a canine companion considering their journey through life; what the future holds and their unbending relationship.
