Deadwax is the area on vinyl records between the last track on the record and the label that does not get used. Deadwax Art was started by Alex Grimmer, a 31 year old artist out of Dallas He started off selling art on the famous Venice Beach. In 2017, he started doing artwork with vinyl records they took his art on the road traveling all over the United States and doing all sorts of music and art festivals.
