1xRUN Thru Interview
Daenerys by Sam Spratt
1xRUN: What materials were used to create this piece with?
Sam Spratt: Digitally painted with a Wacom Cintiq Tablet from sketch to finish.
1xRun: When was the piece created and how long did it take to complete?
Sam Spratt: I did this back in March over probably 40+ hours. Just how many + I do not know, I don’t count.
1xRun: Anything immediate you would like us to highlight about this piece?
Sam Spratt: You may notice the hair being fairly wooshy. I’m very proud of this wooshiness.
1xRun: Tell us how the idea and execution came about?
Sam Spratt: It all began when I sto-borrowed someone’s HBO GO password.
1xRun: Why do you feel people should buy this print?
Sam Spratt: Dragons and wooshy hair.
1xRun: Describe the piece in one gut reaction word.
Sam Spratt: Wooshy.
1xRun: Have you read both the books and seen the show for Game of Thrones?
Sam Spratt: I’ve seen the show in full. If I’d read the books I would know that her eyes should be purple and her hair should be silver-er.
1xRun: Any reasons in particular that you chose Daenerys?
Sam Spratt: She seemed like the least likely to die and thus the art would live on forever, but I haven’t read the books so I could be totally wrong.
1xRun: What are some of your favorite aspects about the show/books?
Sam Spratt: I like how unlikeable everyone is. Very relatable.
1xRun: It’s been a little bit since our last release and you have definitely been staying busy. What are some of your favorite projects that you’ve worked on since our last release?
Sam Spratt: A poster for Crystal Dynamics of Tomb Raider, A Game Informer magazine cover, Janelle Monae’s Album covers, Childish Gambino’s Because The Internet poster, and a few things I’ll be sharing pretty soon.
1xRun: Any other big plans the next 2-3 months here as summer winds down?
Sam Spratt: Have my hands full with a few projects for Def Jam, Mozilla, and Gabourey Sidibe, and hopefully enough free time to take a vacation to Japan.
