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.

Tommy was a rock opera created by The Who in 1969 and over the years it became one of their most popular and endearing albums. There have been musicals, movies and countless covers of the songs from Tommy over the last 50 years. The cover features a graphic of the band behind a geometric orb with airbrushed clouds and birds on it. I wanted to use multiple layers of fabric to create the background and foreground. I started with black glitter fabric for the background and then stitched the band members in rayon thread on top of the fabric. I then appliquéd the blue foreground fabric and laser cut the holes out of the fabric to expose the background. The clouds and birds were stitched in multiple layers of blue and white rayon thread with the logo stitched right through the fabric.
