Using straight white acrylic, I dab the paint onto the vinyl discs by hand with a very smashed brush. Carefully. I can’t get it off once it’s on, so I have to take care not to put on too much. The black vinyl visually mixes with the white paint to create the illusion of the shading. It’s also kind of like a newspaper photo in reverse.
I create these portrait paintings to celebrate the subject and the object, thanking those famous musicians for adding their music and art to our culture. Unique artworks have been commissioned by VEVO, the CEO of Beats Music, and David Lynch for his foundation. They’ve been shown by VH1 and hung in the suites at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel. Lou Reed was gifted one by the photographer whose portrait I drew inspiration from for the piece.
My vinyl record art is something physical to hold onto in this digital age, something to point to and say “That’s my music, my culture!” People love giving them to loved ones who they don’t know what they don’t have, but know what they’ll want.
