Puppy on the label

Just finished this mostly blue and red #psychedelic beauty. Sparks have the most unique labels. Hello, cute puppy dog.

Long, strange trip to Terrapin Station

Click the link below to check out my latest Grateful Dead mandala record on Instagram. This one went to a faraway place, to a person who I haven't seen in almost 40 years. Long, strange trip. Like whoa.

Are You Really Mine?

Finally done! And this one is going to a fabulous person at MoPop (the museum formerly known as Experience Music Project a.k.a., my old job) today.

I've included a picture of what it looks like under black light. Wooooo......

Will You be Staying After Sunday

I'm painting another record. Can you taste the rainbow? (PS: This 45 is called The Peppermint Rainbow.) I must therefore use all the colors.

Be sure to search up “Will You be Staying After Sunday” by The Peppermint Rainbow 🌈 on YouTube. Listen to the song on this record I’m painting. SO VERY AWESOME.

Finishing up Sunny Day Girl

A quick video of some of the finishing touches on my latest painted 45. https://youtu.be/Btm3loWBB5c

A beautifully framed Rachro record...Quincy Jones

Someone bought one of my painted records and framed it in the most outrageously cool way.  I am digging this so hard.  Check it out.

Come and see more of my painted things on Facebook or Instagram.

Honeymoon in Hawaii

Here is one of my most recent painted records, inspired by a Hawaiian plumeria.  I've never been to Hawaii.  One day.  This record is SOLD and has gone to live with a very awesome person.

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute.

I'm almost finished painting this. Pretty sure no one has a mailbox like ours.  I'm hoping it will magically attract more fun and useful things to get mailed to us.   Checks and large amounts of money are good, too.  I'm not picky.

May the Fourth be with You, Queen Amidala

Happy #StarWarsDay eve!  I was inspired (again) by #QueenAmidala to create 2 pieces.

Check out my new visitor world map!

Hello, fellow space travelers.

There is a new page added to this site, called "Where are You?"

Click on the header tab to see a tiny and cute animated globe that shows where you are.

Here's a shortcut link:

Where are You?

(*Just in case you forgot. I know there's always a time of day where I have to question where I am and what's happening.)

Also:  FYI, you are moving 530 miles per hour, while simply sitting in your chair.
So.........yeah.

Electric Ink and Paint

I love this outlet cover!  Earthy oranges, turquoise, reds, and greens, plus hand painted details in a mandala style.  Fun.

My outlet covers, Rachro domino flowscapes, and painted records are available to view and purchase on my Facebook page, Records by Rachro.  You are invited to share the info and comment or ask questions there.  They can be shipped anywhere within the United States.

Each outlet cover is protected for durability with UV protectant and an acrylic polyurethane coating.

Electric Rainbow

Here is another Rachro outlet cover, hand painted by me!  It is vibrant and beautiful; Even moreso in person.

Listen: Your appliances want to speak to you, and through this decorative electric outlet cover, now they finally have the means to say they don't want to be ignored or fade into the background anymore. They can now say, "Here I am.  Plug me in.  Turn me on, right here next to this couch."

Bland is boring. Don't be boring.

My Mind in Sky

Cute, colorful, and abstract---here is Steve Winwood's single Arc of a Diver.

This 45 has gone to live in another state, with some other vinyl friends.

The Making of Moody Blue

Well, howdy Elvis fans!  This tasty blue vinyl record, Moody Blue, was painted for a person who loves the color purple and who lives in Scotland.  I think this mandala is soooooooothing to the eye!

More photos that show detail will be added later, but for your viewing pleasure and entertainment, here is a video showing the design process, starting from scratch!

Bonus:  accompanied by Pearl Jam

I will always love you

Unfortunately, I didn't get a ton of pictures of this record.  I kept the design a simple black and white color scheme, because Whitney's voice was so lovely and pure - it didn't need anything else.

Now this record lives in a sunny and beautiful mountain community.  It was also the inspiration for a mural that I painted on a swimming pool wall, using colors that matched the house exterior.

Look at how rad this mural came out!  I did the elephant mandala last year.

New Records by Rachro Shop on Big Cartel

Hi, everyone! I recently set up a Big Cartel store, to offer a few of my pieces. I hope you'll take a look and share the link. The site is where the actual art is sold (not "print-on-demand" products), so when you buy there you're buying the original pieces and not prints. If there's an available piece you would like to buy and it's not currently offered on the site, please message me privately through my Facebook page and I can probably make that happen. :)

Thanks for looking! Much appreciated.
