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":1532,"height":1831,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/3069\/5257\/collections\/thealbums4.jpg?v=1639415401"}},{"id":261510496345,"handle":"online-store","title":"Online Store","updated_at":"2022-01-14T13:31:13-05:00","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":"2022-01-17T19:32:38-05:00","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"}}]
Embroidery stitched directly through a vinyl record sleeve. Clear and glitter vinyl appliqued.
12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.
Edition of 8, plus one artist's proof.
This was one of my favorites in the series to create. The cover makes no mention of the band or the title of the album, it is simply a photograph of a hand crushing an egg. I wanted to mimic different textures with this album cover so I started by stitching the arm and hand using multiple shades of rayon and polyester thread. I then used glitter fabric appliqués for the egg and for the fingernails. The fabric was stitched and then laser cut directly on the album. To represent the exploding egg I appliquéd clear vinyl onto the cover and embellished it with more thread. The clear material added further dimension to this outstanding album cover by the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's.
