[2] His early work was for the Hassenfeld Brothers Toy Company (Hasbro) where he illustrated board games for Superman, The Mighty Hercules, and The Banana Splits.

A 1978 Lassie lunchbox he designed for Thermos is displayed at the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution.

[4] In 1981, Petrucci did the artwork for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rub-down transfers produced by FNR International Corp.[5] He retired in 1994.

According to his Gunn Associates colleague John Filosi, Petrucci turned down Hasbro stock and accepted a flat payment for his art.

[8] Petrucci designed packaging and logos for numerous companies, including Charleston Chew, Ocean Spray, Veryfine, Gillette, Newport, Titleist, Marshmallow Fluff, Converse, Polaroid, TJ Maxx, Prince Spaghetti, Salada tea, Bose, BASF, the World Wildlife Fund, Friendly's, Poland Spring, Smokey Bear, Sunkist, Dunkin' Donuts, Gorton's Fishsticks, the Massachusetts Lottery, Venus Crackers, Jose Cuervo, Boston College, Harvard University, Liberty Mutual, and Hewlett-Packard[1][2] Petrucci did regular artwork for stickers produced by the Dennison Manufacturing Company.

Sheet #80-218 featured original characters named Zoltan, Harry, Iggy, Tokar, Geedis, and Erik.

An unknown artist illustrated the third sticker sheet (#80-224) titled Women of Ta (1982); it featured female characters named Cecily, Astrid, Sybil, Amneris, Ursula, and Rimelda.

[4] Geedis is a bear-like creature with a pig nose, horns, and yellow eyes included on the first Land of Ta sticker sheet.

On August 1, a scan of The Land of Ta sticker sheet that included Geedis was rediscovered on a Flickr page.

Speculation about the pins and stickers being merchandise for a wider media franchise grew but no further information about The Land of Ta or the identity of the artist was available on the Internet.

The duo contacted former Dennison Art Director Tom Manguso and his son Bill recognized the Land of Ta stickers as the work of Sam Petrucci.

[4] In the interview, former Dennison General Manager Lou D'Amaro recalled a coworker regularly used the term "geetus"[16] as slang for money, giving a possible origin to the name "Geedis".
