Realistic Stencil art portrait of Dog on 12″ vinyl record with pink purple background colour.

In this photo you can see the preview image that were sent to the customer for approval alongside the finished product.

The stencils of dogs were made as a portrait art birthday gift. They were completed within 2 weeks and sent back to the customer with express international shipping option (2-5 days delivery time). They were completed by myself Vinni K, in Bangkok, Thailand and shipped to the state of California, USA.

Actually i cannot tell you too much about who these dogs are or what these dogs do, but i can tell you that as you can see for yourself the results are very close to the real thing. I would consider having a pair to hang on my own bedroom wall,  to find out about ordering your own custom stencil art portraits on canvas or 12″ vinyl with international shipping option please click here

The stencil itself is not easy, stencils of animals that have long sharp pointy hair features always means lots of cutting and lots of pre planning. In this example the dogs were made up of 7 layers of stencil and colours each. The biggest headache is knowing which order to spray the stencils in so it works well, luckily for that purpose i created this video which you can see by clicking here…

What would you like to see turned into a stencil next? Why not drop me a line and suggest a new line of custom vinyl art pieces.

This video is of a recent order in May 2012, The client requested 2 separate portraits of dogs on vinyl records with a pink / purple background color. Together with fully working to customer photos and making a truly realistic stencil art piece this could be possibly the ultimate art gift. For information about ordering please visit the store.

YFOV is taking part in a show especially about art produced on or using vinyl 12” records.

It’s opening on the 4th of June (for 2 weeks) in the Funhouse Gallery Detroit. It also happens to be the opening party for the Gallery as well. The organizer of the gallery contact your face on vinyl to take part in the show, it’s been a good few months in the making and so we are very excited to be exhibiting a mix of old and new work. Any work left unsold will be posted on the website for purchase (which will also symbolize the launch of the web store – fingers crossed!)

So YFOV sent a selection of 10 records (mostly singles and 1 triptych) to include in the exhibition which features over 50 other artists from all over the world. We are very excited to take part in the exhibition and will be sure to post some pictures of the event. This is the first time that YFOV is going to exhibit in America, so high hopes indeed!

What else?

here is an official gallery release statement excerpt…

No this is NOT a vinyl toy show- does the world really need to manufacture more vinyl crap for creative types to paint on? We think not. We believe there’s more than enough Ray Coniff Singers and Air Supply vinyl records to go around for the next 100 years.

Also here is a link to the facebook event http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=152975121425641 also i’ve been told there will be photos of the event put up after it happens so i’ll be sure to upload those too…Which i think will be posted here or on the flickr website. I know there’s many tools for using wordpress with flickr so maybe I can do so easy intergration…here is the link…. http://www.flickr.com/groups/hdgallery/discuss/72157626080741710/

Here is a sneak preview of one of the vinyl’s YFOV is exhibiting; it’s a Frank Zappa piece one of the greatest experimental rock n roll musicians of all time, this does him enough justice, but it’s hard to sum up a man who produced such an eclectic and amazing body of work. This is our dedication to him to paint him on a medium which most of his music was released on… And hopefully YFOV has managed to capture Frank Zappa looking iconic and classy created using a stencil and spray paint painted onto a 12” vinyl record.

Also it’s worth mentioning we are now re-opened for custom orders. To find out more about the process check this link…

This is an example of a carefully planned out order from your face on vinyl. The client told us he’d like to give his friends “the ultimate wedding gift”… We don’t take the word “ultimate” lightly. We asked the client to send over some images of the happy couple and sat on it for a bit. Actually this is the first time YFOV got an order of such prestige. As we’ve stated before your happiness is our reward (the money doesn’t hurt either).

After a little thought we had a meeting with the client and discussed some ideas. The idea was to make 3 different prints; one based on a photo of the bride, one of the groom and one vinyl with the happy couple together in order to celebrate the unity and the occasion.

We toyed around with a few ideas. One idea was to use opposing colours on the bride / groom print and combine those colours on the vinyl art stencil when they are both pictured together. Kind of a yin-yang theorem, although the conceptual idea is a good one, the actual translation on idea to physical medium would not work; too many complexities and jarring colours. In the end we decided that good quality image and colour balance rules over complex artistic interpretations which would likely be lost on many. First and foremost is the actual graphic output.

We suggested to the client we would like to create a visual matrix of the wedding couple. Using the number nine (records) to make a nice wall hanging shape and taking inspiration from Andy Warhol’s piece of Marilyn Monroe where a screen print of her face using different colours is tessellated to provide a graphically pleasing result. However we decided to take it one step further and give the client a chance to hang the artwork in any way they please. The vinyl record art can be hung in a grid like matrix, or in a row, vertically or horizontally… or they can even distribute them around the house. Using our custom made wall hanging system the happy couple could also change the order and sequence of the records based on whim. Re-arranging and adjusting to created new home décor layouts whenever they please! Lastly it’s very important to mention that we at your face on vinyl do not use traditional screen printing techniques, we rely much more on a human aspect when hand cut stencils and spray paints were used to create these records. The result…A kind of Warhol / Banksy mashup, with an interactive twist. We hope that next time we can create something even more unique, engaging and interesting.

Off course you don’t have to wait for your or someone else’s wedding. We can produce a similar effect vinyl art gift for any occasion; birthdays, weddings, Christmas present, Bar Mitzvah, or perhaps you are just looking for some custom home décor. The choice is yours…The pleasure is ours!

Say what you want about Banksy, we give props regardless... This piece famously positioned near Old Street round-a-bout London, Uk

Your face on vinyl is a portrait service. We take your photo and turn it into a unique hand-made piece of art. In this example the Bride and the Groom’s photographs were transformed into stencils using a human controlled process, the stencils were hand cut and then sprayed using premium quality Spray Paint and finished with tough stain proof lacquer. Each piece is uniquely made by hand therefore it is impossible that any two records will be the same.

Your face on vinyl IS NOT your usual one-click portrait service. Every aspect of creating the records is done by hand and human eye. Be sure when you order from your face on vinyl you are giving someone a very special and unique gift indeed.
