London 2009


I've just recently been to London to visit the D&AD Design awards. On my travels I came across some lovely, subtle, humerous street art and grafitti.



Stanley Donwood


My favourite designer is Stanley Donwood. He does all the artwork for the band Radiohead's album covers. He works on a very large scale using ink, print, paint and pen. I particularly love his work because it's very expresive. He combines very loose, expressive brush strokes with controlled, intentional imagery and type.




This piece has been done using pen and ink. I love the ways in which he can jump from medium to medium and create similar works.
