As part of a special project for the release of the Royalty mixtape, limited edition fine art prints from artist Sam Spratt commissioned by Childish Gambino are now available and they look incredible. Each image is a 12″ x 12″ Giclee, signed/numbered editions of 30 each, and cost $80 each. On sale now HERE.
So, I’m pretty excited to finally share with you my full project with Actor/Writer/Rapper Donald Glover. What began as cover art for his last mixtape “Royalty” evolved into a series of Rockwell-esque vignettes on Americana meant to highlight the side of hip-hop that tends to take a back seat to “money, cars, and jewelry” – where you come from. The collection of 10 illustrations cover a wide-spectrum of the little moments – the struggles, the simple pleasures, the risks, the irony, the humor, the hopes, and the realities of the American life that maybe isn’t quite so cookie cutter. For me, this was a rare privilege to both work with an insanely talented person as well as learn an IMMENSE amount in the process of creating scenes completely outside of my bubble. -Sam Spratt
