    What did you do on Record Store Day this year? Hopefully you went and supported your local record store and bought a whole bunch of limited edition releases… as for UK artist Natalie Sharp, well she offered up a little more commitment and painted her face with a bunch of iconic album covers

    Here’s what she had to say about the project in an interview with Quietus -

    “I decided to paint my face for record store day. After moaning that I never get the easter weekend off because Im always face painting, a friend Dan Conway suggested I paint my face as a piece of vinyl.

    "I stupidly thought I could knock these out in a day. Three days later with a bleeding face and being accused of racism after posting my progress on Facebook, I had to stop. These are not my top eight albums, I don’t believe in that crap, but they are eight very inspiring and spectacular albums that I keep returning to. Each face took between 3 - 6 hours to paint. I cried after finishing grizzly bear, I thought it had broken me. I don’t use any stencils its all freehand.

    "Record Store Day, here is my gift to you.” - Natalie Sharp
