Incorporating historical elements into his portraits such as costumes and hair styles is his way of bringing his two passions together to create unique works of art.

Sam has taught a number of drawing workshops, ranging from portraiture, figure drawing, and more. He also shares his work in progress drawings with his followers on Instagram to help others improve.
