Vinyl project...

2011-02-14T16:10:00.031Z

I've been screen printing onto old records for the Spraygraphic Vinyl Record Show in Arizona. There was no particular theme, so I decided to go for a view from space of the (over) friendly planet Popcorny transmitting many hellos and kisses out to the aliens.
(nb. No good albums were hurt in this process ...strictly bad taste only!)
(extra by-line: Of course I didn't have any records of bad taste, I bought them from a charity shop)
http://www.spraygraphic.com
"Sending Kisses to the Nice Aliens" Gold screen print onto Vinyl. Special very limited edition...

a couple of photos (of part) of the process ----

painting all the middles of the records black

I used a circle cut out of cardboard to keep the records in place while screen printing

it worked!
