"Recombinant Youth" (CD-R design)

Am gradually adding "merch" to my Bandcamp page, to show my commitment to production and the capitalist system.
The above release from 2014, Recombinant Youth, also received the cassette treatment:

recombinant_youth_cassette_spine650w

recombinant_youth_cassette_rear650w

For future CD releases, am attempting mini-jewel cases with artwork but will probably continue to list tracks on the disc itself.

Update, November 2020: The MAM-A company (recently sold to an outfit in Chattanooga called WTS Media) changed the design of their CD-Rs and no longer offer an edge-to-edge white printing surface on their gold discs. Now there is an obnoxious, bling-y 3mm gold rim around the white. I am rethinking my CD-R design for future releases and took down the CD above from Bandcamp, since I won't be making more copies with that design.

From Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac:

The Scanner Paintings, a series conceived since 2010, are based on commercially available textiles, which are scanned, inscribed with the artist's signature and printed with UV ink on IKEA LINNMON table-tops. They show various types of leggings – sweatpants, track pants, Daisy Dukes and ripped denims. In each work, details such as waistband, pockets, zips and logos are combined, usually collage-like, on two boards hanging one above the other. Overlapping letters create word-plays and new meanings, or the logo is legible only by force of the branding typography. Independently of changing fashions, the sports labels are part of a contemporary pop culture and a collective memory to which the artist refers.

Idea for next show:
