Description Full title "I'll Tell You What's a Great Album.. #5"

9 x 9cm

oil on beermat

One of a series of paintings created by removing identifying text from a "classic" album sleeve. 20 paintings for a single piece which tries to address the process of painting; unreliable "analogue" copies in the age of the perfect, easy, digital copy, the place of sleeve art now music exists as strings of numbers on a hard disk; and arguing about music in the pub.

Please read this page for the full story.

You have a great touch into art and cars, however I do love those old Saabs.

Thank you. I hope people get the scale of these pieces, because that was the difficult part of making them. On my 19" monitor, the preview image is roughly the size of the actual painting; just under 9cm square.
