SHIPWRECKED - Sam Spratt and Guy NorCal - From Paper Bags to Primal Rags, Baking Biscuits, and Finding Your Purpose in Life

We Do A Little

In this episode of Shipwrecked, we are joined by Guy NorCal and Sam Spratt. Guy NorCal is one of the most legendary collectors in the space as well as the undisputed biscuit-baking champion. Sam Spratt is a prolific artist, best known for the LUCI series as well as his work on Red Dead Redemption 2 and album artwork for Kid Cudi, Logic, All Time Low, and many more.
We dive deep into Sam’s artistic journey, from drawing paper bags in art school to creating LUCI. NorCal bakes us the best batch of biscuits we’ve ever had, as well as sharing insights on his own creating and collecting experiences.
