My friend Bill and I stopped in this week to shoparooni to check out the Vinyl show 'Straight from the crate'. The show looks really good. This was the second time I stopped in and already there are a lot of pieces missing. Its a pay and go show, so you can swipe the pieces right from the wall if you're going to buy.

Here are some vinyl records I painted up for an upcoming art show put on Keith Corcoran.

STRAIGHT FROM THE CRATE

I originally had the idea of building a large cassette tape out of old records and record covers, but with limited time and size restrictions...I went with painting a cassette tape on a record.

'San Juan', my final for the new Skate Deck show. For the most part I'm happy with how it turned out.

I inked the city sketch using India Ink

The background pattern was applied with spray paint after the stencil was cut.

Cutting a stencil for a background pattern. I took a photo of this pattern when we were in San Juan. It was a really cool tile floor in one of the old buildings. Thought I'd be able to use it for something someday.

I decided to rework the illustration on my board from the 'All hands on Decks' art show. I wanted to keep the wood showing through this time. Heres the sanded board all ready to be painted up.
