Stanley Donwood



Stanley Donwood is the artist for some of Radiohead's album covers. I first heard of this artist from those works. Exploring his personal endeavors, on his website slowlydownward.com, he has a variety of poetry and artworks. He uses two point perspective in complex ways as well as a variety of mediums to illustrate a narrative between his deeper, darker poetry and his visual works. The use of the grayscale holds to be interesting, in that it sets a mood or tone to the overall theme. Some of his work, uses linear lines to establish a sense of multiple dimensions and a sort of illusion. In relation to the class, the use of perspective, grayscale, and mixed media (ex. newsprint) are all areas we have been exploring.
