I recently braved the 6 hour drive down to LA to check out Sam's new show "Ego, Addiction, & Other Bedtime Stories" at Subliminal Projects. The show was phenomenal. It's always heartening to see artists that are constantly striving to expand on his or her already well developed skill set, and Sam is no exception. Apparently, he spent the past year developing a new style and has very clearly been able to add an immense level of depth to his new body of work. I was impressed to see such dark imagery mixed seamlessly with the familiar characters and vibrant color palette that we know and love from Sam. Some of my favorite works from him are the deeper, more emotionally charged ones. And in the past i have only seen a handful of pieces that reflect what his new work openly celebrates.
