More Jamaican Label Art

February 14, 2007, 11:14 AM

This is getting ridiculous. Ian of Jamaincan Label Art informs me of another site dedicated to Jamaican 45rpm label art, the Dance Crasher website. In addition to labels, Dance Crasher hosts a plethora of reggae ephemera to gaze. It seems the UK is replete with these precious discs. And it looks like I'm gonna have to hook up the ol' scanner and get to work if I hope to contend...

Truly Dreadful Stuff

February 07, 2007, 11:23 AM

So, I'm sitting here in my vinyl (ivory?) tower thinking I've got the corner on the 45 RPM label art web site market, when Jamaican Label Art hits my screen boasting "over 1603 label scans, 954 details, 111 sleeves, 3320 files in total." While they're not actual size scans (I still have the corner on that market), they do include a number of nice detailed closeups of over-printing colors and type treatments. There's even a submission form where you can add your own to the collection. Well, I bow in humble submission...

Hand-Painted & Hand-Crafted Signs

Fossils in our Visual Landscape

A rather large sampling of the hundreds of photos that I've snapped over the years, in places like New York City, New Orleans, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and more.

Cult of the Goat

Bock Beer Labels and a Homonym Gone Awry

Devilish goats rear their ugly heads in these sinister looking beer labels from the U.S. and around the world. Includes a little bit of history on where this strange iconography came from.

45rpm Record Label Designs

Feast your eyes on this assortment of about one hundred labels and logos dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. I've been collecting these for a long time and thought I would share some of my favorites.
