What is this?
A work/life blog; posts about my comics; talking about creative work; my day job as an animation designer; some instructional material from my 7 years as an art teacher, and whatever else strikes my ADHD / ASD / Aphantasic / Dyslexic / Anomic brain.
Who is this?
He/him/they/who?, Salgood Sam is Max Douglas backwards with two letters changed. For a bunch of reasons not the least being it amused me, around the late 90s I started using a pen name and it stuck. I’m a 30+ year professional of the Arts, been making comics and illustrating a lot. I’ve also painted murals, drawn portraits in the street, fabricated bar signs and deigned sets for live action a little bit. Since my late teens I’ve been music and AV adjacent most of my life as well, snap photos, play with video and hosted and engineered a radio show for 6 years in the 90s. I still like playing with sound casually for fun.
My most recent published graphic novella is ‘Dracula: Son of the Dragon’, with Mark Sable published by Dark Horse. I’m possibly most well known for ‘Therefore, Repent!’ With Jim Munroe; and I’m most proud of my self published ‘Dream Life: a late coming of age, book one’ and ‘Revolver’ One and Zero. Here you can find listed all my published comics stories.
I currently work as a prop designer and supervisor at Sphere Animation in Montreal, my past clients and publishers include Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics & ComiXology, IDW & NMK, Marvel & DC, Paradox press, Mr Comics & Beckett Comics. The Criterion Collection, Bravo TV, Nokia, Fox Kids, Netflix, ABB robotics, Aurora Cannabis Inc, Nelvana Studios, TVA collage & Scholastic!
