Devin Townsend has released his new book Overexposed + Underdeveloped, out now through Rocket 88 Books. The fully illustrated book features previously unseen behind-the-scenes and private photos.
The successor and companion to Only Half There, Overexposed + Underdeveloped is Townsend’s collection of personal and professional photographs, which trace his journey from childhood in Canada through teen years in different bedrooms, onto his professional career and beyond parenthood.
As well as baby and early family photos, there are the photographs of his brief stint as a model, his time with Steve Vai (including the now infamous Letterman Green Room photos), live performance photos from all the bands Townsend has 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.
Overexposed + Underdeveloped is available in two distinct editions: the Classic is a 224-page full colour hardback (£40); and the Signature is a signed book in a slipcase, with a Dev artwork print created for the book (£75). Purchase your copy of the book HERE.
