Sam is an accomplished artist in a variety of mediums, specialising in Airbrushing, custom paint and Pinstriping. His credits include commissions from celebrity clients such as Microsoft, Arai helmets, Monster Energy, Charles Owen, David Brown Automotive, Aston Martin motor company, Google and YouTube.

Sams passion for motorbikes coupled with his artistic style meant he made a natural progression towards the world of Motorsport and custom Bikes. Working on countless projects for clients all over the world, Sams bikes are all striking and unique. His passion shows through his work and his skills allow him to work on diverse projects and still deliver a consistently high level of quality and finish.

Sam was born in Hanover, Germany in 1971. His mother Catherine, an artist in her own right, encouraged Sam to appreciate the beauty of art. It was to become the focus of his teens and took him to college in Shropshire, England. Having spent years studying Art and History of Art, Sam established his style firmly in the fantasy genre and found the airbrush his weapon of choice.

Sams style has evolved over the years to one that lends itself to many different projects but the key theme is his attention to detail. Using his years of experience, Sam is able to translate from imagination to paint with truly incredible results.

Sam now lives in Warwickshire, UK. Aside from his art, Sam’s loves are his 2 children, Dan and Molly, his rock Kelzibub, and his Harley Davidson Streetglide special.....which itself is about to be adorned with a stunning paint job. Enjoy the gallery and let the artwork do the talking .
