Sam P. Cashmore is a visual artist, writer, and publisher based in Bristol, UK.

His practice often employs the medium of image-text to explore the narratives he tells.

Between 2021 and 2023, Sam ran the platform and publisher Vessel Editions, which shared and published writings and works by early-career artists interested in the book form. 

In January 2025, he launched his new imprint, Vase, with its first publication, When We Fall In-Between, set for release in February 2025.
