"We haven't changed our style since the very beginning," he said in 2004. "The first orc we ever did, in Blackthorne was just a little guy chasing after Blackthorne — but we thought, 'Hey, these guys are cool,' so we used that character for our orcs in WarCraft. Artistically, we've always gone for the same sort of goals: we try to keep everything over-the-top, over-proportioned, and really colorful, then we add in as much 'comic factor' as we can."

Listened to the whole thing. Interviews like these don't happen anymore these days with all the automation and bots.

I remember, I applied to over 900 jobs coming out of college with absolutely no one to help me with anything. Heard back from like 10.

Nonetheless, super cool art piece. I'd love to get my hands on large-size print of this to hang this up.Comment by bearmaxI have loved his stuff forever and his ABC philosophy has resonated with me for so long! I am lucky enough to have a few of his dwarf zombie valentine sketches from a while back and I wish he did more things like that. <3 to him!Comment by Tankjr01Pour one out for a OG, love you sam <3Comment by Jagi79LOL this was the guy that was trying to pawn off those ridiculous NFTs.
