Sam Church

Sam Church is a jobbing illustrator, but also a naturally inquisitive, talkative person, which has led to: ​ -writing & illustrating kids’ history books (including a history of St Paul’s Cathedral), -leading all kinds of workshops for the likes of RWA, The Holbourne Museum and Green Man Festival -scribing/live drawing at events and (as a direct spin off) making explainer films -singing and making visuals for the Fantasy Orchestra, – a BAFTA nomination for an animated film for CBBC’s Anti Bullying Week. …and making props for and extraing in the occasional pop video. ​ Generally if it involves fun, conversation, making something cool happen or helping people tell a story he’s in. Occasionally wears a stupid hat to make himself seem more interesting. Sam uses the BV Open Studio as a chance to air the stuff he does for fun – including gig visuals and drawings of musicians playing live – and to guff on about the joy of picking up a pencil from time to time.
