Step into the surreal, slightly twisted, and always playful world of Lumps, the creation of illustrator Sam Drew.

Sam began his career as a digital illustrator and graphic designer, followed by a self-taught deep dive into animation, giving his quirky characters a whole new kind of movement and mischief.

Playful yet unsettling, polished yet sketchy, his work captures that perfect in-between where humor meets weirdness, whether it’s 2D drawings, animated loops, or 3D models.

What began as a small side project slowly developed into the Lumps Collector's Club: a collectible universe packed with oddball characters, trading cards, prints, stickers, and curious little objects that blur the line between art and toy culture.

We sat down with Sam to talk about the joy of creating, collecting, and connecting.

StickerApp: Hi Sam, and congratulations on your Collector's Club. What a success! For those who doesn't know what it is, can you sum it up in an elevator pitch?

Sam: Thanks a lot! Ok, here goes:

The Lumps Collector's Club is a subscription-based service where you’ll receive exclusive monthly packs filled with limited-edition prints, stickers, rare objects, and the chance to receive original artwork directly from my Studio. Each item is one-of-a-kind, and once it’s gone, it’s never reprinted.

StickerApp: Crystal clear! How did you come up with the idea?

Sam: I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, but things really started to take shape in 2016 when I went freelance. Back then, my focus was mainly on digital illustration and graphic design, but as more projects came in, I was able to make illustration my full-time thing.

Launching the Collector’s Club has completely transformed how I work. Instead of dropping prints, stickers, and other pieces at random, alongside my paid assignments as a freelancer, I now have a consistent way to share new creations and build a real community around them.
