Salgood Sam

3.5/5 ( ratings)
Salgood Sam is Max Douglas backwards.

Start early and often.

At 6 rather than lemonade, I sold drawings from a box beside the curb. In grade 7 I was selling art for the cover pages of my fellow students presentations making money for gravy with my ill-gotten fries! [it's a long story]. I drew often and early.

My first role models were my mother, a working artist, and my father, a photographer and trouble maker.

Despite these seemingly obvious hints, I fancied a career as a rocket scientist. But that didn't work out. So I kept drawing.

I thought maybe a forger! How fun! But then I got sucked into drawing comics, In the end they won.

I got started publishing zines through the 80s, and by the early 90s was working professionally as a comic artist at Marvel drawing Night Breed, Saint Sinner, and assorted 2099 titles.

While it’s been bumpy at times, I've been lucky. In the 20 years since then i've spent much of my time drawing both commercial, and creator owned or underground comix. Along the way i've also paid the bills as a designer for animation, and as an illustrator.

I was honored to be among those nominated “Best Emerging Talent” for the inaugural 2005 Doug Wright Awards for the first iteration of RevolveЯ, in 2007 I drew the best seller Therefore Repent! with collaborator Jim Monroe, and have work in the Eisner winning anthologies Comic Book Tattoo, Popgun 4, and in Awesome 2: Awesomer.  I have a graphic novel, Dream Life | a late coming of age: book one, coming out in May 2013, and a Dracula comic in the works with Mark Sable.

In my spare stolen moments I founded and publish the comics news metablog Sequential.

Salgood Sam is I, is Max Douglas. Backwards. And I no longer know what I would do without art.
