Description

About the artist

Following a two-year stint of inpatient treatment for borderline personality disorder and heroin addiction, Sam North re-entered the world  with the moniker “Sammy thrashLife” and the resolve to build a life on the new passion he discovered while institutionalized. On Friday afternoons, patients had “expressive art therapy” group. He hated it until, one day, it just clicked and became his favorite thing in the world.

A graduate of the Law Center at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, thrashLife has no formal arts training. “I like colors and funny faces. Itʼs more than that,” the artist concedes, “but Iʼm the first to admit Iʼve got zero technical ability.”

Bright colors, rotten smiles, and (often) snarky captions in bold block-letters characterize his work but a closer look reveals intensely honest, reflective, personal journals in small print. “I donʼt shoot heroin anymore but Iʼm still an emotional basketcase,” thrashLife says. “Paints and pens are the tools I use to balance myself out.”
