![Controlled destruction. I fear the power of my emotions because I associate them negatively with [redacted] and I fear becoming them. This painting was ripped by a nail, warped and then painted over.

Sam (she/he) is creating live paintings at concerts and selling small-batch, limited edition prints. This project was borne from a desire to celebrate the immediacy of live music. Each painting is a visual representation of the relationship between the musician, audience, and the energy of the moment. Sam hopes to encourage people to attend live music concerts and show up for musicians that are putting in work to create unique experiences!
NEXT CONCERT: 4/10/26 7PM PST @Baba Yaga Seattle — buy tickets. Print sales close next Wednesday, 4.15.26
A high-quality print of artwork painted onsite at On Man of The Woods set on 4.10.26. Celebrate the present moment, support local art, and take a unique memory of the concert home with you! This is a limited edition print run that will close a week after the concert ends (Sun 4.19.26, 11:59 PM PST) — once they’re sold they’re sold out :).
MUSICAL NOTES: Old Man of The Woods’ music feels smokey, rumbling and earthy — grounded by dense notes. I was surprised to find lightness and airiness interwoven in, lifting the set up and adding texture. OMTW’s music feels like a thickly draped cloth laced with spiderwebs.
