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

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.

Buongiorno, Mona Lisa

This record was painted for a delightful person who loves Italy and wanted a record with a little bit of purple.  It has gone to live in Federal Way, WA.  Ciao, pretty donna misteriosa.

My all-time favorite number: 3.  I have no idea what the songs were on this album, or even what kind of music it was.  But I'll tell you what - this very purple (*much more deep and vibrant purple in person) record contains lots of good juju and went to a judge who said it was one of the coolest things he ever got.  The person who purchased it said that 3 was also her favorite number.

That there is some good taste, my friends.

This record was brought to you today by the number THREE and the color PURPLE.
