Dan McPharlin is an artist based in Adelaide, Australia. In 2006 he started to work on a series of super-sweet retro electronics handmade cardboard models, known as the Analogue Miniatures. Photographs of these tiny models of fictional synthesizers, computers and tape machines were subsequently used on a variety of record sleeves and magazines.
