UPC A/Mick Jagger/Music CDs

This is my latest bar code portrait of the British born rock star Mick Jagger. I used the "UPC A" style tags from all of The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger solo albums that I could find listed on BarnesandNoble.com.
I applied my UPC halftone to a recent photo taken from MickJagger.com. To add another conceptual element, I used just Mick's solo albums for the red bar codes in the lips. Inspired by a T-Shirt at SmashingGrandpa.com.
