Melody Maker 1977
Tony Dennis aka Tape Deck Art is a British contemporary artist with a passion for music and design, who paints and creates giant 3D pin badges.
Here, Tape Deck celebrates Melody Maker – one of the world’s first weekly magazines dedicated to music. The piece incorporates badge designs for the bands making headlines in 1977 - one of the most important years for music.
The artwork includes big name bands like Talking Heads, The Ramones and The Jam, alongside lesser-known, but equally important acts from 1977, Wire and Richard Hell.
To make this signed original piece, Tape Deck wraps each badge design onto 16 bespoke 150mm hand-spun aluminium badges and resin to finish. The badges are then mounted onto a bespoke Melody Maker acrylic board to resemble the front cover of this iconic music newspaper.
Size (cm): 103 x 73
Please note: Each badge is bespoke, as such there will be a minimum wait time of three weeks from ordering.

Box framing is provided with all our online framing, creating a distance between the glass and your artwork, so no risk of ink transfer to the pane. it's the perfect, gallery grade choice for limited edition prints or original artworks.
Shadow float mounting is an option at our website, to give the appearance of an artwork floating within the frame. The mount – an archival foam core – creates depth too, by casting a shadow beneath the artwork. We highly recommend using a float mount when framing artwork with deckled (hand-torn) edges.
