Comic Riffs could readily see his eye-catching
gouaches hanging in a gallery exhibiting macabre cartoonists, and his animation
style might make even "Beavis & Butt-Head's" creator say:
"Kewwl!" - The Washington Post

Adam Griffiths creates deeply knotty comics. To read them
is to unwind a bundle of block letters, bumpy, billowy artwork and sweeping
invectives on society's ills... ...Griffiths has fearlessly tackled the Big
Stuff–sex, politics, gender, race–through circuitous and speculative science
fiction. Needless to say, Griffiths's work is complicated and dense and us
comics readers are better off for it. - The Comics
Journal


Illustrated like a cross between the seminal '90s comic
strip The Boondocks and the squashed-and-stretched surrealism of
Rocko's Modern Life, the work blends the
post-structuralist science fiction of German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder
with a heavy dose of Japanese manga and anime. - Washington City Paper


With an eye on the unbalanced and unjust characteristics
of the world around him, illustrator and cartoonist Adam Griffiths uses the
surreal and ridiculous to provoke societal examination. Skating the edges of
contemporary art, illustration, outsider art, and underground comics, Griffiths
imbues his work with various symbolisms and mutabilities of historical
imperialism and class systems. - East City Art
