Art & Design. The Royal & Stanley Donwood
Art & Design. The Royal & Stanley Donwood: The Royal continues to show and prove. They're a great indie mag published by our friend Gensler. His sharp eye toward art, fashion, culture and where it all collides make them a step ahead of the rest. They recently featured an online article on Stanley Donwood.
In Stanley's words, as reported by the Royal, "I was born in Essex, a typical English county north of London, and I became a typical representative of that bleak region. Essex is essentially a flat land that slopes almost imperceptibly into the grey waters of the North Sea, and the people of the county can frequently be seen standing on our crumbling sea defences, staring silently out at the mudflats. It is not a place that the Tourist Board mention often in their paens to the variegated beauty of Britain. When I was quite little I vaguely remember drawing pictures of flat horizons, drawn again and again on layer after layer of tissue paper, and then glued together. These ended up looking like a sort of foggy nothingness. And I drew huge housing estates on lengths of discarded computer printout paper."
