CHRISTOPHER ADAMS

Christopher Adams, CEO of Impakt Studio was born and raised in Chicago’s Roseland area where gangs and drugs were as much a part of the landscape as the homes and storefronts. As the Chief Animator, Artist, Director and General Business Manger for Impakt Studio, Chris is hands on in all aspects of his busy company. “I learned early in life the mantra of if you want something done well, do it yourself and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” His creativity surfaced early in life. Self-taught in all of his trades, he compared the price of school versus the price of equipment and it was a “no-brainer”. Chris incorporates a variety of disciplines, knowledge and ideologies in his work. “My father is a mechanic and I learned how to fix just about anything from him. His ingenuity inspired me to learn to master the many tools I need in life, both physical and metaphysical.” This philosophy is applied in many instances when the need for “creative flexibility and innovation” arises. According to Chris, “if you know how something works you can dissect it and apply what you need from it to something else.” Chris also strives to push his art far beyond the urban markets that nurtured his talents, believing that art and music are the “only universal truths left in modern society and can therefore reach far beyond their intended audience.”
