Sam is one of Scrawl Collectives newest and youngest artists. He graduated from Central St Martins last year and after a tip off from a reliable source (thanks Peter) the agency quickly snapped him up. The term raw talent could have been invented for Sam. Being so fresh from college most of Sam's work is self initiated rather than commissioned and his output has certainly benefited from being free of the constraints of a brief or a client.
During his first year with the collective he has been free to spread his wings and explore many different styles and working methods. This approach suits his natural disposition, he feels it's important not to fall in to complacency and he revels in challenging his own ideas in the spirit of continuous experimentation. His work can indeed be challenging, as his images exploring gollywog imagery are testament to but there is a sense of fun behind everything he does that always entertains.
Sam's images are weird and wonderful, filled with strange, dysfunctional characters and odd scenarios whose surface cuteness masks something surreal and sinister beneath. His own world entirely under his control. Expect to see alot more of this prodigious talent and purchase one of his prints now while you can still afford him.
