Thank you to my album dealers! I took some time to sort and organize tonite and I am sharing the little things I noticed. A book of albums that would be fun for a group paint party (in Russian LOL), a few interesting albums I found hidden side a ELO sleeve (The White Album and Physical Graffiti, both the second album) and a treasure to the god father of electric guitar; Les Paul! If your into music and want to upcycle old vinyl let me know and we can schedule a experience event and turn old albums into ART!

Take a look at this custom commission piece I made for a customer on their existing live edge, wood, lazy susan. The colors and design were my concept and I couldn't be more pleased with how this turned out. Thanks Diane for letting me "Tessify" your ordinary kitchen item into something unique and one of a kind!
