  Sam has been an essential part of the execution and success of our new graphic novel series, Battle Station Prime. He dove right into a truly challenging endeavor and was able to teach himself the ins and outs of an obscure animation program in order to realize our vision of a vivid and engaging chi

  ldren's graphic novel inspired by the world of Minecraft. He was unphased by the demanding timeline and delivered hundreds of quality images on a tight schedule again and again. He's now completing the 5th book in the series and the artwork shows his evolving expertise and relentless dedication.One of his greatest skills is translating short snippets of art direction into full-on action scenes.This requires a level of confidence, commitment, and imagination that is difficult to find. He's always ready to rework images as needed and responds to revisions and communication in a prompt and professional manner. Sam is a pleasure to work with and continues to be a great asset to our book business

  I have known and worked with Sam Needham for over a decade now, and he is one of, if not the, kindest, hard working and talented individuals I know. Sam takes direction in stride, and offers sound advice when he feels it is necessary to share. He is always willing to put forth that extra effort

  to make sure his work fits well within the projects he works on and makes sure it is done in a timely manner. I can't say enough good things about Sam, we have become good friends over the years because of his kindness and professionalism, and his regard for myself, my family, and my projects. Anyone who works with Sam will know this as well, and appreciate working with him whenever they have the opportunity to do so

  Sam illustrated six graphic novels that I wrote for SkyHorse publishing. He was a pleasure to work with-- professional and prompt, but also incredibly creative, resourceful, and fun! He always went above and beyond to fill in the blanks and create innovative solutions to some very complicated instru

  ctions. Sam was also very quick with edits, changes and corrections, and was flexible when we asked for any modifications. His playful humor really came through, which was perfect for the young audience. The books began rolling out in 2019 and are already wildly popular here in the U.S.

  ed a deep investment in the project and his on-time delivery was always appreciated.

  Sam has been a good worker and excellent artist and animator for all the projects I have worked with him for over 16 years I have known him. He is very knowledgeable in 3D and 2D software for art creation and can adapt to new software easily if needed. Sam is flexible and takes feedback and criticis

  m easily and works well with deadlines. I look forward to working again with Sam when a new project arrives, or work that requires talents that he can provide.
