Just “Sam” is fine.
I am a (mostly) self-taught artist and multidisciplinary designer, fueled by a liberating and carefree imagination. Being born and raised in Queens is fortunately a large part of my personality.
I am inspired by the colors, cultures, and textures of home and like to mesh traditional with digital. Graffiti sparked a fascination for letters, shapes, and forms early on and continues to serve as a reminder to have fun with art, no matter the medium.
No fancy big-name awards, interviews, or features under my name, but I got a lot in school. Getting gaslit by the system is crazy :/
