TeePublic's mission is to empower creatives to turn their passion into profit.

In 2020 Adam launched a national art piece, “New York is Dead, Don’t Come Back” The “New York is Dead” installation took place across NY, Miami, and LA. This campaign concluded with a series of photos showcased during the month of June at the "New York is Dead" gallery show in Manhattan. This installation was a commentary on those who fled the city, taking their fortunes elsewhere, abandoning small businesses when the city needed them most. Working in non-traditional mediums from tow banners, to billboards in the street, to guerilla poster campaigns in the streets of New York, this campaign sparked a national conversation, getting picked up by international media and garnering over 200 million impressions.
