Sam is a 23 year-old New York-based artist who graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2010 with a BFA in illustration. He immediately began work as Gawker Media's first-ever staffed illustrator where, over the course of 9 months, he created hundreds of on-demand illustrations and editorial packages that brought art to the world of tech-journalism and the media giant. Since then, celebrities and corporations from every corner of the world now come to Sam for their every creative need. The versatility of his work isn't just evident in his portfolio, but also through his clients with magazine covers for Game Informer, editorial illustrations for MSNBC, promotional and advertising imagery for Rovio and the Angry Birds franchise, conceptual art for the game industry, merchandise for Warner Bros., cover art and branding for the music industry with labels and artists like EMI and Miike Snow, as well as personally commissioned artwork and covers for Actor/Comedian/Musician, Donald Glover (Childish Gambino), private portraiture for Fortune 500 CEOs, medical illustrations for The American Association of Cancer Research, illustrations for some of the world's most renowned photographers--even including a 55 foot long painting on a tour bus, with book covers, websites, logos, and so much more in between. His imagery runs the gamut from fine-art portraiture, to fantastical creatures and surrealism, to classical treatments of web and pop culture, and is deeply integrated into the beat of The Internet. Tens of thousands of people follow his social media presence devoutly as he generates viral illustrations on a regular basis--seen and shared by millions of people. His work has caught the attention of the public but also art critics as well as mainstream publications with interviews in places like Maxim, The Daily Dot, and MTV. His technique is built off of oil-painting training in classical/Baroque methods and translated to the fast-paced digital world.
