it’s a rather long story as to how i ended up being the maker of recycled LP wall clocks, but the short version of it is that as a long-time dj, i had a LOT of unusable vinyl lps sitting around my apartment. it pained me to throw them out, so instead, i decided to recycle them as a canvas for my (at the time) new-found interest in stencilling, which had grown out of my own political activism.
after trying to sell my new stencil “paintings” for a while with little success, a girlfriend of mine at the time suggested i put clock mechanisms in them. i was at first resistant, but the concept of making them functional art intrigued me, and sure enough, once i did, sales picked up. i’ve been making them ever since.
over the years, i’ve made many designs and branched out to 10-inch and 7-inch record clocks as well, though the 12-inch is still the bestseller.
you can see my current inventory for sale on my etsy shop, and below is a slideshow gallery of clock images (from my flickr site) i’ve made over the years. if you see something you like below and it’s not for sale on my etsy shop, just get in touch – i’m happy to do custom design/color combinations and occasionally can accommodate new custom design ideas.
