You may not believe this, but every portrait in 'Icons' from Mr. Brainwash is made using only vinyl records and CDs. French street artist Mr. Brainwash meticulously cut and carved thousands of records and CDs for Icons, a collection paying homage to history making musicians and artists.
What I really like about Icons from Mr. Brainwash is that it covers a fairly wide swath of the music industry. Everyone from Hendrix to Dr. Dre are featured in Icons, making it easy to love and relate to.
