Adrian Chesterman studied fine art at Norwich School of Art and illustration at the Royal College of Art, Kensington, London. Since leaving the R.C.A., Chesterman has worked in almost every sphere of the art world.

As an illustrator, he has worked for just about everyone, on just about almost everything, almost everywhere. The advertising illustrations for “Jurassic Park” for Stephen Spielberg in Los Angeles, the sets for “Sunset Boulevard” for Andrew Lloyd-Weber in Frankfurt. Advertising commissions include "Coca Cola" in Atlanta, "Southern Sun hotels" in Cape Town and video game illustrations for "Nintendo" in Chicago. Designs and visualizations for original theme parks in the United Arab Emirates and China, "Spiderman" games for MGA in Los Angeles and, over the past ten years, the aero engines division of Rolls Royce in London. asked to illustrate almost 50 pages for the magazine "Flight".

Among his recent projects, we can mention the creation of the gigantic illustration of the largest puzzle in the world, commissioned by Educa Boras in Barcelona. At an incredible 33,600 pieces and measuring 2 by 6 meters, it depicts a jungle scene bursting with detail. We also produced a series of covers for the "Armchair Reader" paperback series published by Publications International in Illinois, as well as all 21 covers for the "Famous Five", Enid Blighton's classic series. Saatchi & Saatchi's in Sydney has just commissioned a series of Toyota Landcruiser illustrations for the 2015 Sydney Motor Show and Seaworld in the United States has just commissioned a poster for its new "Turtle World" theme water park in San Diego. t0> ​​
Chesterman also illustrated book covers for Jackie Collins, Jack Higgins and Dick Francis, numerous children's books about dinosaurs, and an illustrated children's encyclopedia. He has illustrated countless music album covers, including "Bomber" for Motorhead, "The meaning of Life" for the Monty Python team and "The Road to Hell" for Chris Rea. He also illustrated an animated music video for the Eurythmics' "Baby's Coming Back" and even built and painted a real guitar in the shape of a skull for the new romantic group "Adam and the Ants".

The portrait is another of Chesterman's artistic directions. Previous commissioners include Prince Adan Czartoryski-Bourbon, cousin of King Juan Carlos of Spain, Mikael Baryshnikov, the ballet dancer, a certain captain of the Welsh Guard, a few Hollywood actors, countless children, cats, dogs and a horse called George. Oh... and a nude portrait of "Wolf", the television "gladiator", which somehow ended up on page 5 of a national daily, but the less said about it, the better!

He subsequently exhibited at the Center Pompidou in Paris and the Gallerie Schémes in Lille, France, the International Contemporary Art Fair in Olympia, Spinks, Kensington Town Hall and the BBC Center in London, the Batey Gallery in Singapore, at the Madison gallery in Los Angeles and in many countries in Spain.
