A Former Prince Artist
Surrealist, Visionary British Artist Spencer J. Derry, worked off and on with a well-known musician, a funk legend, the Minneapolis genius, the late Prince.
Spencer had been listening to Prince's funky/rock music since the 1980's. In 2013 his art was seen by the team when he posted certain Prince related artworks & posters on his pseudonym Facebook Like page and Twitter. It wasn't until Spring 2014 when Spencer was contacted by Prince's team. PRN requested some funky artworks and also commissioned Spencer to create original 3rdeyeart illustrations and concept drawings for Paisley Park.
All Art Illustrations in the Photos & Posters below were created by Spencer.
Art is owned by The Prince Estate
