Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols

     Never Mind the Bollocks was the Sex Pistols' debut album and their only studio album. This is the album that changed everything in the music industry and ushered in the punk rock movement. The raw sound, the look, and the attitude of the Sex Pistols is still talked about 40 years later with only one studio album. In a time before MTV or the internet, to make such a lasting impact is amazing. The art for the album was designed to look like an inexpensive stencil for a screen print and it was printed in a few color versions. For the album I wanted to create the albums cover entirely in yarn. I found bright day-glow colors of yarn and used circular and abstract stitching patterns to create the album cover.
