The Beatles, A Hard Day's Night 12" x 12"

Details

Originally released July 10, 1964 as the Beatles album you could listen to. This artwork is about the connection of music, the medium of thread, hand-digitalized drawing, and embroidery machine technology in creative yet unconventional methods.

To make the art, each thread must be hand-digitized using digital drawing tools on a scan of the actual album as a backdrop. Every stitch is drawn by hand, one at a time. Each album cover is embroidered directly through the actual paper sleeve. The albums take up to 8 hours to embroider and can contain over 200,000 stitches. This album is Unique Variation 2 of 8 presented in an acrylic shadowbox frame.
