Sam B is an Australian digital artist from Canberra. His boldly lined, saturated art style seeks to invoke nostalgia for various traditional printmaking techniques of the past while utilising the wider palette of options a contemporary art program can provide. Sam worked closely with Faeza to authentically represent her family’s cultural background. After drawing extensively for online clients, this is his first children’s picture book.
