Testimonials from previous customers…
“I was instantly lost in this piece as soon as the boys surprised me with the finished product. I love that there is a bunch of treasured memories hiding within the framework of the horse, and it’s great that only the people who were there will truly appreciate what every little detail means. There are so many stories wrapped into it, and visually I think it’s breathtaking. I cannot thank Sam enough for what he did, he has an incredible and very unique talent. My wife and I will proudly be displaying this in our house for many years to come!”
My customer hid a camera so we can watch him unwrap his gift. He has no idea what this will be...
“Having the ability to jump right back in to a collection of quality moments portrayed so vividly is nothing short of a superpower. Sam is kind enough to share this astounding ability with a bunch of dudes who’s memories had surely vanished after a wild weekend. Thanks Sam, I’ll be lost in this work forever.”
“It takes you on a little journey inside this world it creates. It draws you into its many layers that don’t seem to end. It makes you want to be there and experience it all”
“This image, although creating a lasting memory of a magnificent 24 hours, adds to the feeling of a personal ‘intimate inclusion’ in the whole wonderful event.”
“David was so surprised by his retirement gift and very touched. He had a ball finding all the things and explaining them to everyone, so his retirement dinner turned into a full on ‘This is Your Life’ with lots of stories and laughter, which was just perfect...”
““It’s a great piece of work, I am really pleased with it and nostalgic for so many of the references. Thanks a lot. I feel a bit stupid because she was asking me so many questions about my past - first bike, Winchester, cars etc. the whole thing on the Fort Grange was inspirational.”
“I won the best wedding gift by far”
“This roo has become the mascot for our beach house now! ”
“Such a unique and fresh take on a present idea. My husband loved it!”
“My vague idea became such a spectacular and detailed artwork thanks to Sam’s skills!
One of my best investments so far has been this work of art by #samshennan. So detailed and perfectly executed - it started with a small idea of mine, and Sam completely made it into a fantasy world in this picture. The kid keeps finding new details. Thank you so much, we’re so thankful 👐”

Frequently Asked Questions

So many things. As many as you a can think of! Send me pictures, or write what you need, we can figure this out together!

Postage is calculated based on the shipping location entered in my contact form on this page. For a paper piece that's rolled into a sturdy postage tube the prices usually go from $7 to $80 depending on where you live in the world.
How will I receive my artwork?
The artwork will be delivered rolled in a sturdy cardboard and safely protected with tissue paper to prevent damage from knocks in shipping.

What inks do you use?
I use archival inks that are light fast, which means they won't fade in the sunlight and they are also waterfast so in the unlikely event of the work gettting damp, they wont bleed.
