Creating art with musicians as subject is quite common, but what's uncommon is the way an idea is executed using unique materials. There have been portraits created in vinyl records and as well from recycled cassette tapes.

This time, it's CDs that have been used to create portraits of musicians like Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, Jimmy Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and James Brown.

The portraits are created using original CDs of these musicians greatest hits. Have a look:

A little while ago we'd featured an artist (Alejandro Fernández) who uses vinyl records to create poetic icons of famous music artists.

Today we would like to introduce another talented artist, Daniel Edlen who is also into Vinyl art. He creates portraits of legendary musicians, using a completely different technique altogether.

The technique may sound simple, but practically it takes a lot of patient and accuracy to bring a about an illusion of shading in his work. "I create these pieces to celebrate the object and the subject, to pay tribute to the cultural contribution of the music, and to spark conversation and questions." shares Edlen. Have a look:
