PAUL ADAMS – CONCEPT ART

SUPERGIRL PROPS DEPARTMENT

In mid 2024 I was asked if I would like to move over from the Art Department on DC’s Supergirl to the Props Department, and was introduced to Propmaster Jamie Wilkinson.

This was a great opportunity, and I wound up designing all of the hand props and weapons in the movie. Such a lot of stuff was designed in an incredibly short amount of time.
