My name is Adam Bailey, I am an Illustrator based in Manchester and I make drawings under the name Heshty.

​

Growing up, I was obsessed with skateboarding and it’s something that hasn’t changed. I am constantly inspired by deck graphics, editorials and video parts, taking all this influence and drawing pictures that reflect my passion for the counterculture. My influences and concepts are by no means limited to skateboarding but it’s the easiest to pinpoint as I get inspiration from anything that catches my eye.

​

Pencil, pen and paper is where all my ideas begin, shading any areas of the image that I want to have shaded when I work on the digital version. Up until 2020, I used Photoshop to finish up my drawings, but I have since switched to Procreate as I find it to be more user friendly. My illustrations tend to be colourful with a lot of content, often with a contrast between character design and environment. Aside from digital illustration, I have a love for lino printing. The process adds a dynamic to my ideas that I can’t achieve with digital (pictures coming soon).
