Gone are the days of turntables and vinyl LPs. This present time is all about iPods and digital music. Of course, our parents still get nostalgic about the old times when they were fond of having great collections of these vintage records, but we’ve moved on and that too for the better. Erasing traces of records is not a big concern at the moment and old records probably collect dust, down in your storehouses. But that’s about most of us, and, not about artists like Kaylee Carrington and Donny Phillips, who use old reclaimed records and turn them once again into collectable works of art.
Have you ever thought about connecting with your favorite music artists by dedicating a piece of art to them? Well, if not, you can now do this by purchasing re purposed vinyl records that have the portraits of your favorite artist embossed over them. Kaylee and Phillips cut intricate portraits of old iconic musicians into 12 inch records.
As of now, you can purchase the portraits of Joe Strummer, Tom Waits, Blondie, David Bowie, Morrissey and Amy Winehouse. For further protection, the records are framed in a premium LP frame made out of glass and aluminum.
For people who enjoy art and its intricacies, these portraits are rightly meant for you. They are an apt example of how to reuse stuff that is left as waste to rot away and never be used. It shows the power of imagination and how it can transform every bit of waste into precious pieces of art, never to be discarded.
