Samuel Leighton-Dore is an author and artist who literally wears his heart on his sleeve, as he uses his artistic practice to authentically refocus the usual narratives that we sometimes put up, as walls around us speaking to honesty and truth. 

His latest book Wow It’s All A Lot is a celebration of not quite having life figured out. He is also the artist behind The Smile Tiles and he and his husband run The Sad Man Studio an animation studio focusing on queer-centric artworks.  

Sam joined Rach & Dean on JOY Breakfast to chat about ‘Wow, It’s All a Lot’.
