This second piece is inspired by Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Game 4 was a pivotal moment for the Dallas Mavericks after a 3 game losing streak, so I thought I'd make a hype poster highlighting their crucial match up against the Boston Celtics for the championship.

Cover art for "I Spy: After Hotel Rwanda" podcast for Foreign Policy Magazine of Mr. Paul Rusesabagina.
I had the honour to draw a portrait of Mr. Rusesabagina, a man known for saving over twelve thousand lives during the 1994 genocide. The 4-part podcast series covers Paul's bizarre abduction in 2020, his 2-year long imprisonment, interrogation, torture, and the miraculous effort it took to bring him home.
HUGE THANK YOU to my AD Brooks Robinson for giving me a playground to explore more heavy handed topics. I had a great time discovering the voice for this piece with your guidance.

🥳 It’s official Sam Singh is PUBLISHED!
I had a great time working on the cover illustration for The No Compromise Black Skin Care Guide by C.R. Cooper.
Check out the inside illustrations here.
Some of the direction I got for the cover was:
☝🏾 First goal was to highlight the book’s dedication to our men and teens to address their skin health needs.
✌🏾 Second was to show this is a data driven, skin health guide written by a professional; hence the very cryptic data molecule textures.
🖖🏾 Third, it’s just gotta look cool!
