Sam Petrie: Art as Communication & Defense

Today, we’re chatting with an amazingly gifted all-around artist and friend: Sam Petrie.

Sam is a freelance illustrator, streamer, 3D modeler, baker, and crafter. She enjoys making all things creative, goes by she/they pronouns, and loves tabletop, board, and video games.

Sam and I chat about what children have to teach us as adults, what v-tubing is and why virtual platforms are so attractive for kids, how the gig economy promotes stability & growth, what it looks like to use our “outcast” experiences in life as fuel to fight for good, and how art can transform minutes into moments of connection.

You can find and connect with Sam as “Dracokiro” on Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, Tumblr, and Hive. Or check out her website on https://dracokiro.carrd.co/.
