These miniature cardboard models of vintage audio equipment are the newest creation of visual artist and sound designer Dan McPharlin.
According to Dan they are “an interesting experiment to render hi tech objects in a low tech medium such as paper or cardboard.â€
Each one is painstakingly made by hand in limited production or as a commissioned work. With prices starting at $60 this is the kind of art that's well within reach.
