Alfalfa Studio: Graphic Design, Branding, Web Design and Visual ...

Sam Richwood

I envy people who demonstrate many talents, especially when those are expressed tastefully. Apart from envy, I also admire people who seem to produce a lot of skillful art and design pieces, while incorporating different techniques into their work. More than anything, I like to see a variety. As if directly touched by factors such as style and taste, the reason we are often able to recognize the person standing behind a given piece is monotonousness. That is, of course, not to say boredom, but rather an authentic seal or an aesthetic fingerprint that gives a piece its character, climax, and sometimes inferiority. Sam Richwood strikes me as the kind of artist that one day many will look up to.

Zenes and books as well. Richwood

As if drawing isn’t difficult enough on its own, Richwood proves that the labor doesn’t end with a piece of stretched canvas (let alone a sketchpad). He has ventured into illustration, painting, book and zine making, printmaking, and I’m sure there is more to come. His work has a luminous quality; as if you view it through well-scrubbed glass. Moreover, his ability to use color to create light is impressive. I am a little perplexed as to the classification of his work; while it is certainly not realistic or classical, respected artists try and would die to have a piece of the vitality he brings to his work.

Let there be light.

The return of customization into the design world brought with it a multitude of buried treasures. Amongst the more obvious things, such as luxury goods and fashion, formats and practices we thought had been forgotten are once again coveted. Examples include books, handmade and one-of-a-kind products. Art is the one thing that has remained in demand throughout history, be it in the beautiful book form Richwood shares on his website, or in the thrilling paintings and drawings he will be famous for in time.
