🎤🎨 IT’S WORKSHOP DAY! 🎨🎤

Today’s the day and it's fully booked 🔥

I’m so excited to part of the childrens workshop with @sal_freckles @seduced_by_art_kids in Crystal Palace.

We will be bringing together two of my biggest loves — Hip Hop & art. 🎶🖌️

We’ll be taking inspiration from some of the most iconic Hip Hop albums and creating our own album artwork.

See you at the workshop! ✌🏾🎤

I was inspired by

We Bare Bears x De La Soul ( And yes that episode was my favourite)

Bluey x The Notorious Big

Fluffy ( a family friends hamster) x Nas

🎵 The Beatles 🎵

Swipe through to explore the details of my latest commissioned vinyl record painting 👉🏾

Hand-painted in acrylic on a reclaimed vinyl record, this piece celebrates John, Paul, George and Ringo through a collection of visual references inspired by some of their most iconic songs. For this piece I incorporated a 3D element recreating the famous Abbey Road crossing.

📷 Portraits photo referenced from Richard Avedon, 1967

Thank you to my client for trusting me with this special commission.🙏🏾

Which Beatles references did you spot first?

I was recently commissioned to create not just one, but two hand-painted vinyl artworks for the team @omnia.dental who deliver courses for dentists with speakers from around the world.

Their recent conference in February featured Dr Brandon Mack who appears in both pieces.

I really enjoyed working on these and it’s great to know my artworks are truly appreciated - thank you @dr.balsohal 🙏🏾

S/o @leonora_dental for the recommendation 🙏🏾❤️

It’s Record Store Day… and yes, I have an online record store 😜

From sound… to something you can see.

If you’re new to my work I upcycle vinyl records into one-of-one, hand-painted artworks, transforming unwanted or damaged records into visual stories 🎨

Here’s a glimpse of a few pieces from my collection.

**SOLD**

My D’Angelo vinyl art painting has been my most asked about piece and it has officially found its new home… all the way in Chicago 🙏🏽✨

Each piece I create is painted by hand onto upcycled vinyl — no prints and never painted the same way.

There are still a few 1 of 1 originals available for those who’ve had their eye on something…

And as always..when they’re gone, they’re gone.
