Sam has created innovative art since 1986. He is influenced by Berkeley Breathed for his character design, Gary Larsen for his humor and Milton Glaser for his posteurization in advertising art. He has created many pieces on both PC and MAC formats and also specializes in pen and ink. Sam is also influenced by the intricacies of the baroque period and the shapes and forms of the surrealists. Sam has produced work for Web designs, business logos, building murals and signs.

"Sam is an excellent caricaturist and cartoonist. He has done numerous projects for me and I have been more than satisfied with his work. He is a quality individual."
Dave Foulger, Owner, Dave's Signs


"He's an incredible artist. Sam did some artwork on some T-shirts and I think he is awesome. You just give him an idea and he can draw it just by telling him about it."
Loren Ludlow, Sales Rep., Great Mountain West Supply


"He already has a lot on the artistic side; now he's applying it very successfully to computer generated graphics. Unlike many graphic artists, Sam has a delightful personality and is wonderful to work with."
