Job-Less

There’s to much that could be said, so much that’s already been said, and almost nothing left to be said. Never has the statement “Let the work I’ve done speak for me” been more appropriate. Thanks, Steve. Best ride ever.

How I Drew the OA Online Comic

This is the step-by-step technique of how I drew my previously completed online comic, Opposite Again. I thought it might be helpful to some other artists out there who are searching for a niche in webcomic art.

Client Comments:

"Sam Grant hits a home run with Opposite Sex (OS). OS is the story of Michael Chandler’s transformation into Michelle Chandler. Sam skillfully crafts complete and interesting characters and places them in real situations. The result is a very entertaining body switching story that actually addresses this concept completely. Sam’s artwork is incredible! He subtly captures the emotions and essence of his characters transporting the reader to the heart of the story and in the process, transforming you into Michael. Once you pick up this graphic novel you will not put it down. So, put aside a few hours, make yourself a warm cup of tea, and treat yourself to a novel that delivers".
