Professional illustrator with expertise in book covers, comics, and album artwork—delivering visually compelling, narrative-driven designs with professionalism and creativity.

I am a professional illustrator with over 20 years of experience creating artwork for book covers, comics, music albums, and games, with a focus on strong narrative and genre-specific visual storytelling.

My work includes contributions to well-known franchises such as Stargate, Tomb Raider, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I’ve illustrated covers for the Portuguese editions of acclaimed authors including Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Philip Pullman, and Philip Reeve, translating complex literary worlds into compelling cover artwork.

In the music industry, I have created album artwork for internationally recognized artists such as Ace Frehley, Texas Hippie Coalition, Vansidian, and Dawn of Revenge. These collaborations reflect my ability to adapt to different artistic directions while maintaining a consistent, high-quality standard.

As the founder of Samuel Santos Illustration, I combine traditional techniques with digital media to produce detailed, polished illustrations tailored to each client’s needs. I am currently available for freelance and contract work.
