ABOUT
My love for this art began with something I treasured as a kid: my record collection.
I remember sitting down with an album cover in my hands while listening to the music. I didn’t just listen to the record—I experienced the entire album. I loved the artwork on the cover, read every word printed on the back, studied the photographs, and examined every little detail. If the album had a centerfold, that was an added bonus! And if the inner sleeve included lyrics, photographs, or additional artwork, I would spend just as much time looking through those as I did listening to the music.
Those album covers were part of the experience.
Years later, I started finding vintage records in used record stores that were no longer playable. The records themselves had reached the end of their useful life, but many of the album covers were still in beautiful condition. I couldn't help but think about how much history and memories were still contained in those covers—and how sad it seemed that they might eventually end up in a landfill.
So I decided to give them another life.
Most of the art in our shop is created from vintage, used record album covers that have been rescued from record stores. We carefully transform those covers into unique pieces of art and functional items that can be enjoyed for many more years.
In a way, we're trying to give each album cover another few decades of being loved.
Maybe the album once belonged to someone who listened to it every night. Maybe it sat on a shelf in someone's bedroom. Maybe it was part of a collection that someone treasured just as much as I treasured mine.
Now, that same artwork can become something new—something that brings back memories for one person while creating completely new memories for another.
We love the idea that we're not simply recycling old album covers. We're preserving a little piece of music history and giving it a new purpose.
Our collection is constantly growing as we discover more treasures in used record stores. Every album cover has its own story, its own artwork, and its own history—and we hope our creations allow those stories to continue.
Thank you for visiting our shop and for helping us give these wonderful old album covers a new life. We hope you find something you'll love for years to come.
