There's something about seeing a vinyl in your hands that brings back specific memories, emotions, and lyrics. Music is personal to everyone. Stephen Wilson took this category even more personal by reminiscing where his career started, in a rock band based out of NJ in the 80s. Who knew that many years later, he would be embracing the subject of music within his new artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis collection took the longest to even start! There was so much to consider. Every album has its own design. Some album covers featured iconic images (Abbey Road by The Beatles), some feature iconic artists (designs by Andy Warhol), and others were labeled as controversial at the time (Nevermind by Nirvana). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe following pieces of work feature 1 artist's proof and 8 editions, making the series limited and even more special than previous works. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Please note all albums are made to order, for availability and shipping times please contact the studio at \u003ca data-behavior=\"truncate\" class=\"autolinked\" href=\"mailto:studio@stephenwilsonstudio.com\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"mailto:studio@stephenwilsonstudio.com\"\u003estudio@stephenwilsonstudio.com\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eAll sales are final.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-05-04T17:03:22-04:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Albums"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2021-06-25T10:53:15-04:00","alt":"","width":683,"height":683,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/3069\/5257\/collections\/thealbums4.jpg?v=1653675896"}},{"id":261510496345,"handle":"online-store","title":"Online Store","updated_at":"2022-06-28T13:15:53-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-06-16T22:13:28-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Online Store"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Artwork"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Commissions"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"retail-new"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":90895253593,"handle":"all-products","title":"Shop All","updated_at":"2022-07-04T19:42:12-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2019-01-23T10:33:37-05:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"sub-collections","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Online Store"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Artwork"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Commissions"}],"published_scope":"global"}]

I have been a fan of Green Day since the early days but American Idiot is my favorite album of theirs. I have always thought of this as a play. In fact, they turned it into one that ran for a few years. The graphics are great for this cover. They remind me of vintage propaganda posters from the color war. When I was creating the embroidery from the cover, I started by embroidering a leopard print pattern in the background using laser cut fabric, very punk rock. The hand and heart grenade was created using red and white yarn with the logo created as a patch.
