For your convenience, edited ramblings about [me]…
…for the past seven years I've gone by the name, Sam…
I live in Portland, Oregon… making artwork is my passion.
blah blah blah… Savannah College of Art & Design … 2001 … two BFA degrees: illustration and graphic design…
I have a serious fascination with typography and numbers and gain inspiration from accounting ledgers, maps, vintage papers, road signs, symbols, textile patterns, Egyptian history and African wildlife…
I like to combine unexpected materials… acrylics, pencil, stitched paper, wood, sandpaper, chewing gum wrappers, tea bags… computer… typewriter… layers… hand-made frames…
…Look me up and we can go for coffee sometime. I'll fill in the blanks!
(That's not exactly true; I don't drink coffee.)
