Let the Good Times Roll - Karen Payton Art

Lace up, drop the needle, and let the good times roll. Karen Payton’s colorful roller-skate artwork brings a little roller-rink nostalgia to your turntable, complete with deep blue skates, rainbow-striped socks, and loose laces winding across a dreamy pastel background.

Constructed from clothing, fabric, and other textile materials, Karen’s original artwork gives every detail its own personality. Visible stitching, patterned fabrics, and layered colors turn a familiar scene into something playful and full of life.

Reproduced on our cork platter mat, Let the Good Times Roll captures those textile details in print, bringing art and a carefree spirit to your listening space. Made for the records that get your feet moving—even when you’re staying in.

Original artwork by Karen Payton. Cork platter mat produced by Analog Restorations.

Part of our Studio Series, the artwork is infused directly into our proprietary high-density cork through dye sublimation, then finished with a protective UV seal. The result is a smooth, detailed surface that brings the artwork to life while preserving the natural character and performance of the cork.
