Sam3 🇪🇦 Street Art Spain • Silhouette Graffiti

[Existencil]

Hey,

The Sam3 stuff I've seen on Wooster is amazing.

Any idea whether this guy does prints? If so, where would I get one from?

Not sure about prints, but direct contact to the artist is available through his site.

[Existencil]

Thanks CoreBlimeyLimey,

Just sent him an email.

What do people think. Loving the stuff he did on the walls and some of the originals from the ghetto. Not so keen on the papermonster prints....

[Existencil]

Pezlow - this guy is pretty amazing. the one print I like from paper monster is 'kiss' - a very poetic image in my opinion.

I always put Blu, Eric The Dog & Sam3 in the same tin. Super talented European artists. There is also a guy called Ethos who does similar out there stuff.

Not my cup of tea if I'm honest.

[Avian Security]

I saw some Sam3 stuff in Spain a few years ago, it's in-your-face-awesome. Clearly has an overactive imagination like Blu...
Best seen in situ, rather than on a piece of paper really. Although I wouldn't say no.

[Existencil]

I was walking around the Tate today & I saw some huge silhouettes that reminded me of Sam3.

[pezlow]

Here is my new Sam3 original. It is on a big piece of chunky wood and he has burnt on the image. The wood has then been varnished. I love it









This gives you an idea of the thickness

[kingleopald]

Yeah, like that Pezlow! A piece of art that took a bit of time and thought to produce. Nice!

[gozgoz]

wow.... where'd u get that from?

i think BLU, SAM3 and ERICAILCANE all suffer from the same problem... i.e. they really only look good on walls and the sheer scale of their art. Otherwise... it doesnt translate well onto print at all.

[pezlow]

Bought it from Sam direct. He's a nice guy - very easy to deal with. I think he has a couple of other similar pieces if you are interested.

I can see where you are coming from about the translation from street to gallery. But this burnt wood piece is great in the flesh and I have also now seen one of Sam3 prints from papermonster and it's a great little print I wasn't that keen on them on screen but a friend of mine bought the cat one and showed it to me the other day and it is a beauty.

[goffy]

That looks pretty cool Pez, different to what I normally go for but I do like it a lot.

[Rude Copper]

great breadboard pez!

[pezlow]

Lol - as insite says I think it would be better for cheese....

Available later today on POW

By now you're probably aware of the distinctly fine work of Sam3.
Sam hails from Madrid, looks like a scaffolder and paints like a drunken hippy.
He keeps his blog regularly updated (here) so don't just take our word for it. We persuaded him to turn out these two little beauties before he moves into a commune in Germany (apparently).

wow, another simply amazing print

I like the palm tree one

[bobbyt23]

A bit "meh" really.

But I suppose the pre warning will make everyone happy. It will make it crazy for the next Banksy though.

[Pistol]

Is it just my opinion or are POW now lagging behind with their quality of work?

[lostplotter]

modern toss

yeah, those vhils & aiko prints were utter tripe

[Heavyconsumer]

I also quite liked the palm tree image when I saw it on the Ghetto website. Sam3 has some cool work. I won't buy it, as I have more damned prints than I can hang already and no doubt POW will overprice it, as they seem to most of their stock IMO.

Yeah the Vhils was nice. Just got mine framed and on the wall.
