Genius on Tape!

Neatorama published these gorgeous art pieces last week, and I couldn’t help but republish them here. The artist, Erika Iris Simmons, specializes in using “old books, cassettes, playing cards, magazines, credit cards… Things that have a mind of their own.” I fell in love with the Bob Dylan portrait, but she has some other great stuff on her site (a cassette that turns into the Beatles walking across a road, a film reel that drips out Marilyn Monroe with its excess film). Be sure to check out her flicker page, where she posts as iri5.

  1. That is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a very long time.

    Amazing.

  2. I have to say this is one of the most creative and coolest things I have seen in awhile. I wish I could think of ways to repurpose things like that!

  3. I recently made a “yarn painting” of the famous Glaser poster of Dylan. It actually came out pretty nice.

    If you want to see it, I’ve linked to it on my name.
