The World According to Sam Chivers

by | Mar 10, 2010 | ART

In looking over Sam Chiver’s artblog you can see that he is constantly evolving his ideas. The blog runs back to 2008 when he was screenprinting women vampires and fire mistresses, painting anonymous happy faces over old magazine photos, cut out collages of complete abstract landscapes to now doing digital work for clients from bands to corporations that combines all of this elements. I dont know how young Sam is but the progression from optimistic experimenter to making-a-living professional can be the most interesting period of an artist’s career and his is on display at www.samchivers.com.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is. Catch me at @majormajor____

Everything We Did Was A Bad Idea
