Cassette Portraits. Erika Iris Simmons, a 26-year old self-taught artist, got into cassette-tape portraiture after noting how the coiled, stringy reels of old cassettes resembled Jimi Hendrix’ hair. Since then she has added similar likenesses of Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, and other icons to her portfolio. Cool. (via @glennztees)
