Write, Draw, Sleep, Drink Coffee. 'Cause this is my united mandala of whatever.

What if you wanted a certain Rachro record but someone else already got it?  Bummer.  It happens.

If you really loved a certain record but the original is no longer available,  don't despair - because now some of my previous designs can be printed on merchandise.

It's not a record, but it's still just as cool.

If you have a personal request for a specific record in my collection that you'd like to see in my merch store, please contact me and I'll see what I can do to help.  But check this out.  I must say, the journals and pillows look super cool with a record mandala on them.
I love the hardback blank books, too.  So many nifty doodads.

Travel coffeemug!  Now yer talkin'!

LOOK:  BOOK

Something for the girl with everything

A very generous person gave me their collection of old Sparks albums, which included this one called Propaganda.  I think it came out super groovy.

If you would like to purchase this perky album, please visit my Big Cartel store with this link to the record:

Thank you for looking!

Hawaii calls

The Best of Hawaii Calls.

I adore this record and it will be displayed at Jude's Old Town,

in the heart of beautiful Rainier Beach in Seattle.

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.

Your lonesome nights are over

This record used to be Roger Williams' Songs of the Fabulous Fifties.  It featured the songs: Mister Sandman, Mona Lisa, Goodnight Irene, and Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.

This teal and brown paisley record went to live, appropriately, with a man who really loves oldies radio.

Hawaii, instrumentally yours...

 

 

Pink!  Hawaii!  Flowers!  Wheeeee!

 



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...
