Salgood Sam is Max Douglas backwards.

Start early and often.

My first role models were my mother, a working artist, and my father, a photographer and trouble maker.

And symbols are powerful. Thinking about that last May, I put on my designer’s hat and explored ideas

Salgood’s Quotes

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
