What a bloomin funky commission this was! I can safely say that one of my clients is one of Princes biggest fans. So when she spotted this vinyl storage unit she had to have it. She could see through it’s heavy clear gloss on a yellow wood original state.
It was easy to see where this re design was going. Prince being the main brief it had to purple right! Then the symbol. Which a local creative cut for me with his stencil cutting machine. making my life 1000 times easier and saving me hours. Thank you Tom!
So we decided on gold leaf symbols one on each side. Not the easiest of shapes to stencil at the best of times, but when sticky gold size is involved it became quite a job needing lots of focus and steady hands.
I then went a bit crazy on the inners and finished the whole back board inside with gold leaf. as i wanted my client to party like it is 1999! every time she pulls a vinyl out 😉 Then added hints of a gold paint that i mixed to highlight all the right places.
I hope that Prince would have been proud of this musical shrine. Most importantly my clients are, so i’m super happy with that 🙂
