SAM SPRATT’S SPRING PORTRAIT CONTEST/CUSTOM PORTRAIT/SIGNED PRINT GIVEAWAY!

Spring is around the corner which means as thanks to you for following me here, as usual—I am giving TWO of you the chance to win a custom portrait made by me, custom-tailored to your heart’s desire. Free, no strings attached.  The rules are simple, but read them so you can win.

What You Get:

A Web-resolution (1100 pixel) custom portrait, tailored to your most bizarre of requests. You can get a very traditional portrait done or as outlandish as you can dream. Zombies, Hipsters, Pirates, Ninjas, Superheroes, Robots, etc. are all fair-game themes in which you can have yourself transmogrified in painted form.

ADDITIONALLY, I’ll be giving 3 runner-ups their choice of a 13”x19” signed velvet archival print. Choices are: Sherlock, Ron Swanson, and Inspector Spacetime.

How long this will last:

This contest will run until April 6th, 2012. 

You all are the best! Good luck and thanks again to all who follow my little slice of artwork on the web.

NOTE: You must be a follower or subscriber at the time of the win. 

Why all this? Well, you’ve gotta write a big check with quite a few zeros at the end of it to commission art from me—and call me crazy, but I firmly believe that in a perfect world, people *should* get to own art AND do things like “pay rent”, “eat food-like substances on occasion”, and maybe even “continue to live”. Two of you can do that, the rest of you… you’re screwed. Sincerely, <3 Sam 

Some moments are just too good to pass up…

OK, so here’s my project car, my daily summer driver.  Yeah, I’ve got something else to drive during the winter, so it’s not something I’m worried about right this very instant, but this little toy needs a drop…BADLY.  I’ve got an idea what I want to do to it, but it’s about time for the struts to be replaced anyway.  So it’s time to consider getting this done.

Sure it could use wheels and tires, too, but I’ve got to keep the budget in mind.  Now, if some kind soul WANTED to take care of making it all happen, that’s another story…  HA!

Anyone got any suggestions?  Best places for parts or discounts?  I’ll at least listen…

International Change Your ****ing Password Day - Illustration for MSNBC by Sam Spratt

It’s International Change Your Password Day so I sent off a quick illustration to MSNBC for dear friend and Queen of tech-journalism, Rosa Golijan. Read up on how easily crackable your current passwords are and how to toughen them up with an adamantium coating, courtesy of “Wabble: the ambiguously shaped drooling ball of blueness.” [MSNBC Article]

How long it takes to crack passwords with basic computers and software.

@ people that don’t know how to fucking park. this will be going on your car (:

It’s hard to express how often this would come in handy. I get so aggravated at people for leaving door dings on my shit! My Acura and my truck both are constantly getting fixed and touched up, or so it feels, even after parking at work! Assholes!!
