Watercolor Rainbow Mandala with Mystery Creature in the Middle

I love this mandala.  I'm not sure whether the flying creature is a butterfly, dragonfly, bird, or alien life form.  That's up to you. But it is colorful and happy, and deserves to be framed and hung on a wall to inspire freedom.

It is for sale on my Big Cartel shop.  Please click on this link to view it there and purchase it.

Red Flower Mandala

Not a record, but what it lacks in circular shape, it more than makes up for in color!  This is a cute little flower painting, created with the brightest ---almost glowing---RED, along with vibrant blues and greens.  The background edges are a very deep, saturated blue.  It is painted on wood and has a hanger attached to the back.  It measures 4.75"x6.5".  It is available for sale on Big Cartel. Here is a link, which will take you to my store:

One of my watercolor mandalas

One of my featured pieces of art being offered this weekend at BAAMfest.  My records, nebulas, and other various assorted unique objects will be there in the sun and the fun.

Hey Jude's

Look out, south Seattle.  My records are coming for your walls.  My next showing will be in beautiful Rainier Beach in Old Town, at one of the coolest bars in the city: Jude's Old Town.

You KNOW that you want to drink some handcrafted local brew while gazing up at Donny Osmond.  Don't lie.  You and your crazy horses.  See you there.

UPDATE: SOLD!

Glitter in the gallery

 

I love this one. Lime green glitter and soft red design.  This one wasn't planned.  It was improvised and I think it came out rather deliciously.  I love when art just happens. It now lives in a gallery in Houston.

Say it correctly in Russian

 

Here, above, is the strange baby cousin to the other Russian language records.  It is 7-inches in diameter, just like a regular 45 rpm record.  But the inner label and spindle hole are the size of a 12-inch LP.  Weird and neat!  You don't see that everyday.

This was called "Say it Correctly in Russian."  Well, okay.

Buddah Records presents

 

This is one of my favorites.  It was painted as an anniversary present for my good friends, Amy and Tiger.

It lives in Los Angeles.  Wanna see it close up?  Sure you do.

 





Syntonic Research, Inc. Environments 10. Side 1: English Meadow

Record reads:

Syntonic Research, Inc.  Environments 10.  Side 1:  English Meadow:

"Bird should be heard, as if from a distance.  Rushing water should just barely be heard."

(*Fun Rachro fact:  My mother used to listen to this sort of ambient, biofeedback-ey, sound effect stuff, back in the 70's.  She also had a record with whales talking, and swore that she could understand them. Oh......you hippies...)

ANYWAY, this record has gone to live with a newlywed couple, several states away.





The Towering Inferno: An Architect's Dream

 

The record above was formerly the Warner Brothers soundtrack to The Towering Inferno.

Whoever owned it previously circled the side number and the track entitled, "An Architect's Dream."

We may never know why...



The Led was gotten out.

This was formerly a Led Zeppelin album.  It was lovingly painted with some wild blues and purples, with copper metallic accents.  And now it belongs to the Teach Like a Rock Star folks!

Orange and Teal

 

This orange and teal 10-inch, green glitter beauty is the sister to the other Russian language record on this page.

Mile High

 

The record above is crazy, crazy vibrant.  The background has fluorescent red and orange edges (which unfortunately don't show up well on a screen), blending into a yellow center.  The painted design is a kind of indigo-ey purplish blue, with metallic gold accents.

It has gone to live in Colorado.

Dallas

 

The 10-inch record above lives in the Dallas area, with a very cool teenager.

Long time, no see

This incredibly detailed record went to a very nice lady, somewhere in The Republic of Etsyland.

Now showing at the Hillman City Collaboratory

Some of my records are being shown in an installation at the Hillman City Collaboratory through the month of September, via the courtesy of Backstreet Bazaar, and my friend, the fantastic artist and muralist, Mr. Jake Millett.  Thanks, y'all!  The other art being shown is incredible, and I'm honored to be included with such impressive work.

Open your eyes. Look up to the skies and see.

Queen.  News of the World.  Luckily, this record came to me with a huge scratch - or I would not have painted it.  Because Queen is kind of.......shall we say.....sacred and awesome.  Some records you just don't mess with. But this one was already a car ride away from the garbage, due to its unplayability.  And now it's art.  And it lives in San Francisco, with a handsome genius who I'm very proud to call my cousin.

You, You........You

This record has fluorescent hot pink outlines.  Wooooo!  It used to be a Slim Whitman collection.

Songs on this side of the album include, "I'm Walking Behind You," and "You You You".

This record now belongs to the Ark Lodge Cinema.

Built in 1919, it was a former Freemason lodge and is now the super niftiest movie house in Seattle.  One of my favorite places in the city.

Brandy...rhymes with candy...

Brandy, by The O'Jays.  Here is a cute little, candy-colored 45 record.

Sold to a wonderful person in Seattle.

Roulette at Tin Umbrella

This funky record now resides at the Tin Umbrella Coffee House,  one of the best coffee houses south of I-90.  I was fortunate enough to be invited to display my art there in March, and now this happy, floral paisley number is part of the permanent art collection there.  Good coffee and good art go together timelessly.
