“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 album “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.
These are just stellar.

(this will be the final reminder, I figured a couple of reblogs over the course of 3 days was less invasive than a dreaded red-pushpin)
Sam is awesome. This is awesome. I want it.

It’s been a bit surreal getting to work directly with one of my favorite actors/comedians/musicians. This Rockwellian scene of Black Americana is only the beginning, stay tuned. Download the awesome track “We Ain’t Them” for free in the link above (Seriously, it’s fucking amazing).
Damnit, Sam Spratt. This is a devastatingly righteous, regardless of its association with a musician I like.
