Created as part of my music inspired collection, It doesn't get more Manchester and more music than an illustrated Vinyl record. This piece was already white so I just painted out the central label to maintain my very monochromatic aesthetic.
Not the most friendly surface to work on but it looks wonderful, with an unexpected and curious sheen from the grooves adding more depth to the piece.
The retro-inspired, but contemporary, artwork captures the essence and history of the famous city in images and illustrations so recognisable yet filled with wonder.
A way of taking a piece of Manchester with you in art form, this icon is finished in Thomas Wolski’s unique signature style, adorned with quintessential Manchester imagery for a global stage.
As in all of Tom’s creations you’ll find something new and different whenever you look at the detailed illustrations – just like Manchester.
It's encased presentation means you cannot play it, the artwork is left to make the noise; a busy art filled bustling little treasure - again, just like Manchester. The drawings used across the piece are all things I associate with us; pies, recognisable architecture, sewing machines, tv, music, drag heels, canal barges, beer pumps, umbrellas, and all things fun.
