About Adrian Landon

 Born and raised in New York City, Adrian Landon scribbled with crayons and ate Play-do as a toddler. But his journey as a sculptor truly began at the Art Students League of NY in 2009. Like many great geniuses, Adrian is a proud college dropout, having only completed one year of Industrial Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco in 2008. He developed his initial body of work in the New York area, including 4 years as a hipster in Brooklyn. It was there that he developed his first Mechanical Horse in 2014, and began to show his work nationally and internationally. 

In 2019 he received the Honorarium Grant from Burning Man to make Wings of Glory, a giant 35' tall mechanical Pegasus that galloped and flew in slow motion, on fire. It was a major turning point in his career. He currently lives in Reno NV, with his Queen Rebekah, and makes art at the Generator, a communal maker space.
