Art Chantry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur S.W. Chantry II (born April 9, 1954 in Seattle) is a graphic designer often associated with the posters and album covers he did for bands from the Pacific Northwest, such as Nirvana, Hole and The Sonics.[1][2] He is also notable for his work in logo design.[3][4] Chantry designed the cover for Some People Can't Surf, which was written by Julie Lasky.[5]
Chantry advocates a low-tech approach to design that is informed by the history of the field. His work has been exhibited at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum of Modern Art, Seattle Art Museum, the Smithsonian and the Louvre.
Chantry received a bachelor's degree from Western Washington University in 1978.
