STREETAND MORE
CIRC US SAM CATALOG
INTRODUCE SAM (Street and More) is a quarterly magazine which focusses on illustration design, graffiti and all arts related to these. Since starting the mag the idea has always been to organise stuff that relates to the content. So when the Porto based Circus Network asked us to put together a show, we imediatly said yes, please, claro, obrigado! The idea of the show is quite simple: all participating artists get two 40x50cm portrait frames which they can fill. Anything goes; prints, photo’s, drawings, as long as it fits in the frame, just like content in a magazine is confined to the size of a page. The selection of the artists was not easy; there is so much good work being made all over the world, so for this show the main focus was to feature illustrators that have a very strong affection with printed matter and painting walls. In this catalog you can find all of the works done for this exhibition which opened in May 2016.

Chris Versteeg works as a graphic designer and illustrator at Projekt C. “As a kid I loved to draw and go out skateboarding. In the early nineties I got in touch with graffiti and that became my true love for years. I had a great time painting, climbing fences, running, ending up in late night bars, sleeping outside and traveling most of
Europe. After graduating from the School of Graphic Design I continued studies at the art academy in Rotterdam, but dropped out after one and a half year to start working. Nowadays I spent most of my time in the office, but from time to time I try to go out and paint with my Lastplak brothers, ending up visiting all the bars in the area
