That Time Prince Interrupted Someone’s ‘Afternoon Delight’

Posted on May 3, 2020 by sam@samjennings.com

A brief anecdote told on a day celebrating Prince’s life. Remembering the good times, this is just a fun little memory of a laugh we shared. In the spring of 2007, Prince and I were working on finishing up the artwork for the Planet Earth album. I was out in Los Angeles with him, and […]

The Story Behind Prince’s Influence Wall

Posted on January 20, 2020 by sam@samjennings.com

PAISLEY PARK: THE INFLUENCE WALL The “Influence Wall,” as it is informally called, is a 6-foot mural along the hallway outside of Studio A in Prince’s Paisley Park Studios. It’s one of the stops on the current Museum VIP tour, but there is little information being provided about the wall. I created the mural for […]

  • Congratulations Ann & Jack!
  • Finally got my copy of this book. It’s filled with many anecdotes taken from the people around Prince over the years. I’m happy to be included a few times myself, being quoted about some songs. Interesting read.
  • Flashback to a pic of our Rhapsody ❤️😻
  • Thank you @prince for the shout out! The Xpectation album cover and package was fun to create. My only direction was to “Make it look like Jazz.” I don’t remember how we landed on using the definitions as part of the art, but fun fact, the album was originally titled Xenophobia. So when Prince changed it to Xpectation, I had to change all the headlines and definitions on the cover art from Xenophobia to Xpectation 😄
