Published by Rockett 88, Overexposed + Underdeveloped is the successor and companion to Only Half There, Devin Townsend’s collection of personal and professional photographs that trace his journey from a Canadian childhood through teen years in different bedrooms, on to his professional career and beyond parenthood, all the while showcasing the many faces and varied haircuts of his unique career.
As well as baby and early family photos, there are the photographs of his brief stint as a model, lots from his time with Steve Vai (including the now infamous Letterman Green Room pictures), live performance photos from all the bands he’s been in, plus snaps of life on the road and in the studio with among others, Strapping Young Lad, Metallica’s Jason Newsted, The Devin Townsend Project, and various puppets.
Extensive captions by Townsend recall memories and details of people, places, haircuts, and strange happenings that have peppered his time on earth so far. Most of them are published for the first time in Overexposed + Underdeveloped.
Available in two distinct editions, the Classic is a 224-page full colour hardback, the Signature is the book signed by Townsend, in a slipcase, with an artwork print by him created for the book.
Published on 17th October, the book is available here and here. Check out a fun interview with Devin Townsend about some aspects of the book here at RAMzine.
