David Ellis is an amazing contemporary artist. I've seen a few of his pieces out of context and didn't look him up. Very inspiring work. What's truly amazing is how big his body of work is at this point and how diverse he is. I have to wonder though...were any of the records used, still good? I've seen some terrifying acts by artists that didn't know how hard certain records are to find and then just destroy them. Yes, painters and sculptors can also increase the costs and rarity of records. For all you people out there either doing art on/with vinyl or know people that do...PLEASE make sure they are worthless records!! I can't stress enough the importance of preserving hard to find records or even common records that are in excellent condition. Anyway, check this dudes' work.
