The renowned artist behind one of our collections at Keys Deep, brings a rich Italian-American heritage and a deep connection to the sea into his captivating designs. Born in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY, Pasta earned his nickname from his brother's playful moniker "Pasta Fazul." Seeking a brighter life, he moved with his family to South Florida in 1970, where the vibrant coastal lifestyle fueled his passion for art. During his teenage years, Pasta honed his skills customizing vehicles, eventually becoming a sought-after airbrush artist in the Miami Vice era. His career took a pivotal turn in 2001 when Jamie Bunn commissioned him to create artwork for a fishing tournament series. The resulting piece, “Everybody is Gonna Be There,” catapulted him into the spotlight of the marine art world. Now, Pasta’s detailed and dynamic marine-themed designs continue to captivate audiences, reflecting his lifelong love for the ocean and his mastery of airbrush techniques.

The talented artist behind our latest collection of shirts at Keys Deep, draws profound inspiration from nature. With over 20 years as a professional fisherman, charter boat captain, and artist, Sam's deep connection to the Florida Keys' natural beauty is evident in his work. Born and raised in Marathon, he has spent his life exploring the vibrant fishing spots of the Keys, infusing his art with the precision and dedication that make him one of the best captains in the region. His unique style, primarily executed in graphite, showcases stunning recreations of wildlife, meticulously textured and shaded to perfection. Sam's artistic talent, passed down through generations of craftsmen in his family, shines through in each piece, capturing the imagination and essence of the natural world.
