Sam Wood is a London-based 3D illustrator and animator. His style is colorful, eclectic, and flashy. It feels like the Earth is augmented with more fluffy, wobbly, and floated elements. Life is boosted with neon-like lights and it’s easy to lose yourself in it.
Sam Wood’s work combines the versatility of 3D design and the absurdity of digital figures which they far away from uncanny or realistic. Sam Wood explains his work as “embracing odd movements”.
Honestly, his style and approach are just an invitation letter to his world. While Hollywood going crazy about multiverses and extended universes, artists are already doing that for the masses. While each work is ideologically different from the others, each one borrows its insights from the same source. Sam Wood’s work is an exceptional example of this as well.
He says to It’s Nice That, “the relationship between my analogue drawing practice and 3D design form a conversation which is always developing and changing.” Because he is still in touch with physical mediums. When the digital work is finished, he goes back to his sketchbook and draws which is one the sources for inspiration for him.
The music video of SOUTHPAW is covered by Kuricoder Quartet and animated by Sawako Kabuki, and if you don’t know the original song or video, it doesn’t matter.
