Art Chantry: on the outside looking in

The unpolished look of Art Chantry's graphic designs states his creative link with the underground culture. The majority of his works appear to be a reincarnation of the graphic style that flourished from 1945 to 1955. His biggest clients are record firms which cater to hard rock fans who prefer nonmainstream art. He also gets jobs from nonprofit groups. Chantry has no affinity with corporate designers who create glossy works that do not make any political or social statement.
