Pig in the dark
Sam Spratt first painted a picture called "Pig in the dark" that was requested by a fan of his work.

Working with Rovio
The painting "Pig in the dark", depicting Foreman Pig went viral on the internet very soon. Then, out of the blue, Rovio contacted Spratt and asked him to paint some of the main Angry Birds characters. The only limitations was that he couldn't paint them with wings or feet, like he had planned.

These paintings can be unlocked in Angry Birds 2 as 4 profile pictures.
