I approach collage the way a musician builds a track. Shapes and colors become layers of sound—repeated forms acting as a bass line, bold cuts as lead riffs, textures building like drums or harmonies.

Each work begins with a vintage vinyl record as its foundation. From there, I combine a digital composition with analog paper cutting, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that honor the artists and music that inspire me.

These are made for fans. Some pieces are and graphic and decorative; others are more layered and nuanced, shaped by deep listening and research as I work. This process connects me more closely to the music and turns the act of making into something both meditative and exploratory.

If you see something you love, reach out. I can make more of what you see, although no two will be exactly alike. I also take requests —so if there’s a band or artist you’d like to see brought to life, I’d be happy to create something for you.

Beyond On The Record, you’ll find other collage series under the Artwork tab—abstract landscapes and more personal, reflective work that continues to evolve alongside this collection. If something resonates, I’d love to hear from you.
