Disabled welsh digital artist Jammy.
HalfARooster was Sam's dream. He used Jammy as his creative name. He wanted to share his ART with the world. Sadly, Sam died from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in January 2022, before his dream could come true. we distributed many artworks last year at Hwymos QUEER, at the national museum of Wales Cardiff and were delighted
the museum took some prints for their archives.
Sam's father David Thomas is still working on jammy's dream selling
prints on this website raising funds for Ty Hafan children's hospice
Sam created quirky, stunning, vast, silly and beautiful
