This is just the best.
Those little records remind me of this old friend who built model semi-trucks, and for display purposes he put photo-reduced copies of Playboy and Penthouse in the sleeper cabs.

If those are supposed to be real t-shirts the scale is only big enough for a child.
lol it wouldn't be ilx without someone to nitpick/get pedantic about someone's carefully crafted artwork

lol don't get me wrong I think the whole thing is really cool! I just don't know... the ratio t-shirt / vinyl was irking me and even the way they're positioned. I think it would look better if the walls were filled with more convert posters rather than xxxs t-shirts.

*concert posters not convert. Did a google search for convert rock posters out of curiosity and this came out:

If people are interested, I can post the PDFs from which to make this somewhere. I designed it all in Indesign, and all the bits print out onto 3 or 4 A4 pages of card, from memory.

Would be wicked if you could post the PDFs, James. If only to look at the albums you selected.
― Moka, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 19:30 (fourteen years ago)
Would be five stars, but the t-shirts all seem to be for small children.
