“A beautiful presentation of one of the hottest artists in the world. Vincent Sammy creates evocative, stunning imagery that alternately soars and tears your heart apart. The Damage Museum is the stunning collection he deserves.”—Pornokitsch
“Vincent’s art has a way of communicating feel, environment, genre, age and narrative all in one. His illustrations vary from slick beautiful futuristic images to black-and-white illustrations that look like aged photographs or damaged Polaroids. And he does almost all of it with a pencil and water colour paints.” – Joe Vaz, from the forward to The Damage Museum.
