Community (one of my all-time favorite shows) is back tonight which naturally meant the Inspector Spacetime poster I made last year needed to be dusted off and hung up in the studio.

“American Royalty” - Illustrations by Sam Spratt commissioned by Childish Gambino
Limited Edition Prints Available: royalty.samspratt.com
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. All of these are available as extremely limited edition, signed, numbered, archival art prints at royalty.samspratt.com and a video interview on the project with Complex/Masked Gorilla is here.
A huge thanks to Funfere Koroye, who assisted and modelled for me on “Summer” and “Royalty”

“Dan Harmon is Community” -Portrait Illustration by Sam Spratt
A quick tribute to Community’s lost showrunner. Brilliant mind. Can’t wait to see what he makes next.

Contest is closed, winners selected!
Hey everyone, thank you.. TRULY, thank you, for the tens of thousands of entries made across my social media platforms. While for many, free shit is free shit—for me, those numbers and the comments attached to them, warm my heart cavity and keep me making the weird things that I do. So, to those of you who have been following me for awhile, may it be from a past contest, a piece of work, my days working at Gizmodo/Gawker, from vaguely remembering that we went to school together forever ago, or any random odd connection—You have my biggest thank you for your continued awesomeness and for those of you who are brand new here: I draw strange things and a few times a year, as thanks for your eyeballs, your sharing-happy-fingers, and support—I skip the part where you have to write a giant check to me, and just make artwork for you for free.
I’ve reached out to the 2 portrait winners and 3 print winners so check your inboxes and on facebook, a friend request along with a note in the “other” section of your inbox will explain what to do next. Once I get a hold of everyone & create concepts—I will roll out the portraits as soon as possible. If you didn’t win, you can always snag a print the old-fashioned way: http://society6.com/SamSpratt
<3 Sam

Community is back tonight!

“Inspector Spacetime” »(Fine Art Prints Available Here)« - by Sam Spratt
NBC’s Community may be in a state of potential cancellation, but before I dive deep into my art hole on new year client-projects, I wanted to knock out something fun. If you’re not a fan of the show already—get on it. (Thanks so much to those who contributed advice to change the phone booth from the “A” to the “I” so it wouldn’t look like Inspector Spicetime!)
Yvette aka Shirley from Community approves as well as Dan Harmon, creator of the show.
