Adam Spiegel is more commonly known as Spike Jonze, the famous American film-maker, and directer of films, television, commercials and music videos. Furthermore he is part owner of a skateboard company, and directors label. He gained his nickname from competing in skateboarding competitions.
Most recently Jonze was the director of 2009 'Where the Wild Things Are' but has previously liaised with Weezer, Daft Punk, Beastie Boys, and Notorious BIG, to name a few. Within all his work he injects his style of sly and ironic humour. Most recently he has worked on the "Jackass Movie." However he is still most famous for the 1999 film "Being John Malkovich" and the 2002 film "Adaptation", both written by Charlie Kaufman.
As an artist I think he is successful, although he has an unusual style of injected humour; he is able to adjust and adapt to the criteria, this makes all the films fantastic and successful. As a freelance artist this is a good quality to have as your able to reach a wider audience.
