Photographer Lyle Owerko's own nostalgia for the portable stereos stems from memories of heavy metal, punk and ska and provided the latest inspiration for his GelaSkins Boombox series - a graphic tribute to the giant stereos that ruled the '80s.

His take on the trend draws on his personal collection of 42 ghetto blasters, which he's been amassing for their ostentatious, industrial look since the mid-'90s.
The result is a range of Owerko's reverent images printed on GelaSkin's removable adhesives that feature scratch and UV-resistant coating to keep iPhones, laptops and a wide variety of other devices intact while looking sharp.
