REEL-Y GOOD TAPE ART
A music fan has found a reel-y good use for old cassette tapes - she uses them to create portraits of music legends.
Erika Simmons has made amazing pictures of Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison from unspooled reels.
The 25-year-old has also crafted uncanny images of indie star Ian Brown and Joy Division singer Ian Curtis.
Atlanta-based artist Erika says: "The idea to use the cassettes struck me by luck. About a year ago I couldn't afford a CD player and was browsing the library bookstore and found some "I Claudius" cassettes for sale.
"I purchased them with the intent to listen to them, but out of laziness I put the tapes on the floor on a blank canvas and then lightning struck.
"The portraits are carefully fashioned and take anywhere from a few days to two weeks to complete.
"For the most intricate ones I twist the tape to give the illusion of a thin line. I try to make it look like the image has burst from the cassette, intact.
People have been so impressed by the tape art that Erika is now taking commissions to create music fan's favourite rock stars.
Unfortunately Erika has no plans yet to make a portrait of TAPE That.
