No. Don’t even try. It’ll ruin the records and your record player. And the art.
I wouldn’t risk it. I double varnish each one, so they’re fine indoors.
If I were you, I’d treat them like an indoor piece.
Remind me to tell you sometime about the Great George Washington Pop-Art LP Warping Disaster of March 2025.
Every piece is hand-made. So each one is unique and slightly different. The texture of the gesso primer on the record grooves also makes for texture changes too, which is something I love.
Acrylic paint is awesome. It's flexible and the colors tend to "pop" more and give you more of a vibrancy under varnish.
I think that there's something magical about taking old long-play records and using them as the basis for new art. I always look at the label before I prime a record and get it ready, and it makes me feel like I'm able to "save" this record from being thrown away, by giving it a new role.
Ok. Not only.
I’m experimenting with tiles (they’re coming along nicely) and glass (meh).
I also like the idea of drawing portraits on rocks and bricks but I haven’t quite figured out the priming and texture yet. But that may come soon.
Not everything on the website is for sale. And not everything for sale is on the website.
But, as a general rule, if you want to buy a painted LP record, I'll charge $100. For a four-set of painted tiles, I'll charge the same. If you want something commissioned, send me a message and we'll discuss.
If I decide to sell a piece, I'm basically charging for my time. So the pricing reflects the time I took to make the art plus whatever materials I used.
I use fedex for shipping, so I can just quote you their prices and send you. based on your choice.
