A tribute to the sadly-deceased musical genius, Syd Barrett. He was the founder of one of the greatest bands of all time and the inspiration for them long after tragically losing his mental faculties. His music has and will continue to inspire countless generations for many years to come. The text at the bottom reads "Won't you miss me?...Wouldn't you miss me at all?" 1946-2006 (RIP).

 

The image was originally painted on fabric in 1990 and was washed and dried many times over to create a cracked and distressed appearance (see close-up, below) to convey the perception of someone losing their mind. This was then captured photographically and archived before the original artwork was lost forever. After 16 years in Justin's flat file, this is the first time he's shown this image to the public. The passing of this icon in 2006 prompted him to release the piece then as a commemorative to the memory of a legend.
