Sam Orr

I'm Sam — an Austin, Texas-based tape artist specializing in large-scale portraits and murals, created using washi tape and an X-Acto knife. For the past 9 years, I’ve brought creative expression to living spaces, work spaces, and public spaces in Austin, New York, Miami, Atlanta, and Portland.

Each piece is created by building up layers of monochromatic tapes to produce an effect of light, shadow, and movement. My work has been installed in commercial spaces, exhibited publicly, and collected by private buyers across the country. Pieces range from intimate 2-foot works to large-scale 12-foot murals on drywall, plywood, and shiplap.

Original works and prints are available for purchase. I also take custom commissions — I'd love to hear from you!

Based in Austin, TX. Available for commissions and installations nationwide.
