Album encase art has a fascinating and for good history. Pepper LP) to the controversial, including Jimi Hendrix‘s “Electric Ladyland” that featured nude women.

But using old, generally unplayable vinyl records (LP‘s) as a canvas, painter Daniel Edlen is creating one-of-a-kind ‘Vinyl Art‘ masterpieces, adding a new dimension to the art of vinyl albums.

I spoke with Daniel about his love of art and tune and how he is able to merge the two on the unique canvas of a vinyl record.

“My Dad introduced me to records with the Beatles‘ “Revolver” album,” explained Daniel. the Beatles‘ Sgt. They would get records as donations and I got first crack at them they were usually too beat up and they didn't sell well. “My Mom volunteered for the local library, running the used booklet sales. My answer is that I do try use albums that would practically ruin a improvement phonograph needle, and also, I'm something that likely would sit in a box in someone's garage into something they can hang on their wall to celebrate their culture. Then I had an art project in my teens with milkwhite pencil on black paper and I thought, why not try to paint on some of these old records.”

But as a record collector yourself, isn‘t this almost blasphemy, using a vinyl record as a canvas?

“I have struggled with that question, especially the reaction I've gotten from some collectors. I'm always listening to melody pending I work, every day whom I'm painting. It's something unique and creative that is a ample ice-breaker, starting conversations about music, art, and all things retro.”

When asked about the process, Daniel detailed:

“The actual portraiture part of the process verges on meditation for me, it just flows. The tricky part is finding and sizing the right image of the musician. It's a joy to do what I do, and when I write out my blog posts, I every day end up adding how lucky I feel that my passion allows me to feeling people. I use just snowy acrylic paint, using the precipitation to call the shading. I niche the portrait so the label becomes part of the composition, sometimes highlighting specific information, like the rank of the album or certain tracks that make that particular record original or important. These show the development of the paintings, using about twenty-five pictures taken as the landscape paintingN Warfare goes through its stages, and are backed by work recorded by the theme of the piece.

So, just who is Daniel Edlen? Obviously a very talented artist, he would rake and paint for fun and enjoyment throughout his formative years and subsequently experimenting with other art media (such as sculpture), he did a few pieces of what he now calls ‘Vinyl Art‘ for friends and family as gifts.

His audience not only loved his work, they encouraged him to try selling them. The whole process takes about a day.'

Recently, Daniel has also begun creating time-lapse videos that he's uploaded to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=dedlen. For Daniel, the payoff is peoples' reaction when they see the pieces for the first time.

Daniel has opened up a web site and online gallery http://www.vinylart.info/why.htm so the public can see just what he does. So with the foundation of his wife, family and friends, Daniel decided to utilize his talent and passion to, not only make something new from something old, but to govern a whole new way for music-lovers to share that passion. Framed solely in a black metal LP frame with the album sleeve behind, the retreat is on the original painting.

As a vinyl record collector and enthusiast, I am astir and just marvel at the ‘Vinyl Art‘ history and one-of-a-kind paintings that Daniel Edlen creates everyday....'
