| I started to take some of the album covers I created in the 70's and have made one of a kind pieces. I took the cover and made a 24" x 24" Giclee Print on stretched canvas and then mounted the original vinyl LP on the print. Then I painted on the album (in oil) exactly what was underneath. These are all original pieces of art. |
