Steven Wilson

Steven Wilson is one of my favorite musicians period. He's most well known for his work with Porcupine Tree, but he has a massive amount of other bands and side-projects of comparable greatness. Lately, he's been focusing on music under his own name - most recently a forthcoming concert film titled "Get All You Deserve" in which Steven and his remarkable backing band perform songs from both his solo albums (and even throw in an amazing tune from his upcoming 3rd solo LP).

When I started my Steven Wilson poster back in March or April of this year, it was more closely related to his last studio album "Grace For Drowning" and I very deliberately borrowed the amber color scheme of that record. Since then, Steven announced the previously mentioned live album, so it seemed like a good excuse to tailor what I'd done to the most relevant release.

Thus, I changed the color scheme to match the incredible cover image by Lasse Hoile (Steven's visual partner-in-crime and a huge personal inspiration to me).

The illustration is meant to convey the 2 different sides of Steven - the one explored in his first solo album "Insurgentes" (bottom left) and the one that currently exists in the double album "Grace For Drowning" (upper right). Since the main intent of the poster is for it to be something you'd buy at one of his concerts (i.e. a performance that is inclusive of ALL his solo material), I wanted a drawing that represented both albums up to this point. Hope you like!
