Original Painting.

The painting has been given a level of distress to reflect the wear and tear the album would have picked up throughout its lifetime.

Hand painted in acrylic on canvas and wrapped around board to create a 3-dimensional replica of the album cover, complete with a just visible paper inner sleeve. Framed in a bespoke made frame with anti-reflection gallery glass.

Mark only paints an album once, so this painting is unique and will not be painted again.

The work is signed and stamped with the artist’s stamp, and provided with a certificate of authenticity as the original piece of art.

Delivery - The cost of delivery is included in the price (United Kingdom customers only). International customers please get in contact for delivery details prior to purchase.
