Now offering two sizes of custom mixtape paintings!
First off is the classic 16x20 inch Standard Mixtape - a ready to hang, nostalgic, functional piece for music lovers of a certain vintage...
New to the /shop is the 9x12 inch Mini Mixtape! It looks great in a frame and is perfect for desktops or home offices to those jams close by at all times.
Both tapes come with unique QR codes that link out to a playlist of your choosing.
The Mixtape Notecards are 5x7 inch prints of previous commissions in rotating packs of 5. Series One available now.
Pick your mix below! Commissions are open!
Ready to hang, functional art.
What you get: a 16x20 inch original acrylic painting, personalized tape design, unique QR code that loads up any streaming playlist.
This series started as a way to make music tangible again. Long gone are the days of album art that you had to hold with both hands, or even liner notes to memorize as you listened to that CD for the first time. Music’s materiality quickly became homogenized thumbnails on a 6 by 3 inch screen in your hand. I grew up being able to hold my music. These tapes are a callback to that era, honored and re-contextualized for today.
The unique QR code connects an old technology with a current one, allowing you to store music metaphorically and aesthetically. I bet there are a handful of people you know that still have a drawer full of cassettes, but no tape deck to play them on. Yet, nearly all of those people have a mobile device they stream music directly from. That anachronistic contrast birthed this project.
I’ve had a great time exploring the roles mixtapes played for me growing up. I’m looking forward to seeing what type of space these ART-ifacts hold for other people.
My commissions are now open for custom mixtapes. You can recreate a tape from your past or craft a fresh mix for someone special, either way I’ve got you covered. Any streaming service link can get turned into a QR code and slapped on your tape. For a little extra I can curate a list for you.
On payment I will get in touch and we’ll have a quick vibe session to start the process. It will take me about two weeks to complete a custom tape.
