Sam Soper

Hello! I’m Sam Soper. I’m an Austin-based mural artist and illustrator, specializing in colorful, highly-detailed, pop-surrealist portraiture, character creations, and concept art. I began painting murals in 2019 after a decade of showing illustration work in Texas and abroad. I’m a two-time finalist for Best Muralist in Austin by The Austin Chronicle (2023 & 2024). My 15-year background in UX design and development enables me to create uniquely immersive multimedia environments. My mission focuses on joy, working to bring a smile to viewer’s face by making them feel appreciated and empowered to live colorfully by raising awareness of the beauty present in their own environment. I also founded Creative Cuties ATX, an intersectional group for creatives interested in building local community by encouraging self-expression, connecting with others across various disciplines, and celebrating all of our individual achievements.
