# About me
Not sure what exactly to put here at the moment. It may be because I believe that one's work should speak for itself. More likely, however, is that it's almost eight in the morning and I still haven't gone to sleep yet. All the same, I may as well give a spiel. My name is Sam Gosland, and I believe that art is best used to convey an idea and to inspire further art, not just expressing oneself. I believe that there is humor in everything, and if one cannot laugh, then one cannot truly live. I also believe that's all I can think of at the moment, but would be more than happy to elaborate upon request. Until then.. ART AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY!!Current Residence: Diamond Bar, California, in the US of A
deviantWEAR sizing preference: What kind of question is that? If that's not a product placement, I don't know what is.
Print preference: You're only making this worse.
Favourite genre of music: It's mood-based, man. Hip hop and trance to chill, metal and rock to get PUMPED. Why get choosy
Favourite photographer: None yet; help me choose!
Favourite style of art: Surrealist, expressionist, street art, psychadelic, a little bit of outsider, and so much more.
Operating System: I swing both ways when it comes to my gigabytes.
Shell of choice: Koopa, blue if possible.
Favourite cartoon character: Deadpool. Deadpool TOTALLY counts.
Personal Quote: Whenever there's a choice between A and B, always go with 3.

Hey, about there is any requirement? like being an art student or professional? Or just be not a 'bad' art? Thank you (:

Just send us your best, and we'll take it from there. It also needs to be black and white/greyscale, since unfortunately we don't have the budget for color interiors right now.
I dig your work, (having briefly looking at your gallery, haha) and I sincerely hope you submit some images to us.
For more info, you can always visit our Facebook page: [link] or our website: [link] . You can also email us at cgsubmissions@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for contacting me, and I hope to hear again from you soon!

Haha, nice u had a look into my gallery, im tweaking my medusa to send to the magazine, since is my favorite piece, and yea, im aware about being black and white. Thank you!

No problem! Just letting you know, we got your piece, and are in the process of judging entries. However, the deadline for artwork was extended to this Friday, January 11th, so if you've got a great piece you want to throw into the ring last minute, I'd highly encourage it.
Thanks for your interest in submitting, and we should have judging finished around the end of February.

Hey there! Creepy Gnome's issue 3: The Last Issue, is finished and it is beautiful. Your complementary copy is in the mail. Actually, I imagine that you should have gotten it by now, but if it's not there in another week or so, let me know so we can send out another for you. Thank you so much again for contributing, and I hope you enjoy!

Haha sweet. So what are you working on these days?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, this and that. I have a few more wallpapers coming, and I just started messing around with comics, so we'll see where that goes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
quick question. Has anyone bought your prints and if so for how much cause i was thinking about making stuff to sell? any info would be great thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha no, no they haven't. While I see that as motivation to put out something even better, that doesn't answer your question. I say go for it, you'll never know if it'll work or not until you try. Cliche, sure, but verrrry true. As for price... think about how much YOU would pay for that piece, and be honest with yourself about it. I hope that helps, and thanks for thinking I'm important enough to ask about that kind of thing, haha In any case, good luck, and let me know how it goes!

Dude, gladly! Your line work freakin' rules! Plus, I see your stuff on /ic/ all the time anyway, so I figured I may as well check it out here, haha
Anyway, keep it up, and I'll see you later!

Good good good! So do you only work in traditional media, or have you tried out the mystical, magical, uberfantastical digital tools?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I largely prefer traditional, but there are a lot of digital works in my gallery too: [link] That should be a link to the digital section.

Fancy fancy! You do beautiful figurative work! Is that Photoshop you use? Pretty crazy brushes you have there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use Photoshop and sometimes Sai. I just use the default brushes, nothing fancy!

Well, it works. Keep at it, I can't wait to see what comes next!
