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\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"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2021-06-25T10:53:15-04:00","alt":"","width":1200,"height":1672,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/3069\/5257\/collections\/thealbums4.jpg?v=1624632934"}},{"id":261510496345,"handle":"online-store","title":"Online Store","updated_at":"2021-09-18T20:30:35-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-06-16T22:13:28-04:00","sort_order":"created-desc","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":"2021-09-18T20:30:35-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2019-01-23T10:33:37-05:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"product-collection-template","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","image":{"created_at":"2019-01-28T15:13:45-05:00","alt":null,"width":1000,"height":1001,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/3069\/5257\/collections\/SWL0309_Orange_Drip_Aqua.jpg?v=1548706426"}}]

Edition of 8, plus one artist's proof.
Choosing my first Bob Dylan album was not easy. I chose Blood On the Tracks because the original cover is so artistic. The album cover is a profile of Bob Dylan created in a pointillist style. This proved to be a challenge in the digitizing process. I embroidered this by digitizing tiny circles, thousands of times in over 40 colors. The tiny circles when stitched create small dots that resemble a the original style of the album artwork. The title bar to the left was create with a folded fabric quilting technique with the lettering stitched right through the fabric.
