A whole plie of old 78s, there they were just waiting in the side of the road by the rubbish bin, waiting to me taken home and painted on. Getting them ready for tomorrow's show at AAA Gallery with the Art Shop Collective... June 1st 2011. Fine some on sale, fine others left by the canal. Twelve painted today..
Love the quality of these old 78rpm singles, the labels are works of art on their own. Do wonder who they belonged to, someone's much loved early 1950's collection just left out on the street in East London next to a recycle bin. A big part... of someone's life just left on the pavement. Hope they don't mind me painting on them, better than them being just forgotten about and thrown in ot a landfill of something (the material can't be recycled in any conventional recycling way). They really are beautiful things...
