His fascination with the supernatural, the paranormal, cryptozoology and the unexplained has played a huge part in his work since his own childhood experiences growing up on the edge of a forest in England. After a nightly visitation by ‘two small Victorian ghost-children and a green fireball’ at age seven, shortly after being chased by a giant, seemingly prehistoric dragonfly… Sam’s fascination with the unknown became an obsession.
He has been searching for sasquatch in a ‘boots on the ground’ fashion since 2009, visiting the forests of California, Washington, Oregon, New York and Arizona… in pursuit of the hair-suited!
He regularly appears at various comic-conventions, signing books and prints of his artwork, including New York, Los Angeles and San Diego Comic-Con among others and has done so for more than a decade.
He’s been featured on the covers of several magazines and has appeared as a guest on countless podcasts such as ‘Into The Fray’, ‘Where Did The Road Go’, ‘The Micah Hanks Program’, ‘The Ghost Story Guys’, ‘Talking Weird’, ‘Paranormality Radio’, ‘Creepy History’ and ‘Coast to Coast AM’ among others.
He currently resides in Los Angeles.
