Painted Zip Disk
Art by @jimbradshaw
Painted Zip disk. Mixed media. I love old retro stuff and found rejected objects. It's hard to believe how fast zip, floppy, jaz, etc. disks became yesterdays technology. It's about time these old disks found a new purpose and some respect.

Wow. Like you, I'm old enough to have actually used zip disks. Not sure how much of our community would understand what is was like to carry around your entire library of work on 5 of these clunky things and pray it doesn't get damaged. The cloud has surely simplified things. Love the idea of repurposing them with art. Now you got me wanting to go dig around looking for my old ones.
