I was an illustrator for a really, really long time and then started painting murals in 1993. I moved to San Francisco in 1994 where I worked painting backdrops for famous rock bands like The Grateful Dead,Guns and Roses,Black Sabbath,Lollapalooza,etc. . After that I worked with Frank Kozik for 5 years at Man's Ruin Records. I was a printer and touch-up artist for his ass kickin' posters and hand printed record sleeves. In 2001, I had my nerve cut in my drawing/painting arm leaving me in severe chronic pain(RSD/CRPS). I have not done a serious drawing or painting since. My wife bought me a camera 4/20/2007 and now I am hopelessly addicted to photography. It feels really good to be doing art again.

.......I am a hairstylist, and now I live in San Rafael, Ca.(currently on leave , disabled)

 

I hope you enjoy my pictures. Most of them have no photoshop or editing, but some are experiments in editing. If you BLOG one, please let me know about it. If you would like to purchase one, contact me and we'll work something out (I like trading stuff).

Sam loves form and color. Watching him rediscover art through photography has been a treat for us all, not just for him and his "in person people"! We have benefited the most, us misfits here on Flickr, and dipping into his stream you'll find some of the best whimsy and sophistication without pretension you can get on the visual gluttony that is this addictive website. Sammy's got a sandbox and you are always welcome to come in and play!
