Some of Stanley\u2019s most credible pieces include his works done for the Grateful Dead and Journey which he and fellow artist Alton Kelley collaborated on together. Stanley grew up in an artistic household in Detroit, Michigan, where his father was one of the animators for Walt Disney\u2019s <em>Snow White<\/em>. Living in the main hub of automotive manufacturing, Stanley found himself obsessing over motor cars. Combining his great talent with the airbrush, it is said that Stanley painted almost every hot rod in the city and participated in every car show painting custom t-shirts. Aside from his love of cars, Stanley saw art nouveau and other periods like art deco to be influential periods that shaped his art style to fit the aesthetic of commercial art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"765\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mucha-in-post-2-mouse-inspo-765x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"274\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/?attachment_id=274\" class=\"wp-image-274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mucha-in-post-2-mouse-inspo-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mucha-in-post-2-mouse-inspo-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mucha-in-post-2-mouse-inspo-768x1028.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mucha-in-post-2-mouse-inspo-1147x1536.jpg 1147w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mucha-in-post-2-mouse-inspo.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mouse-girl.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"276\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mouse-girl.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/?attachment_id=276\" class=\"wp-image-276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mouse-girl.jpg 669w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/mouse-girl-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha&#8217;s <em>Zodiac <\/em>and Stanley Mouse&#8217;s <em>Moonalice<\/em> poster share similar stylistic properties such as the whiplash curves in the hair and figure positioning in the centre.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/original-grateful-dead.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"278\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/original-grateful-dead.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/?attachment_id=278\" class=\"wp-image-278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/original-grateful-dead.jpg 500w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/original-grateful-dead-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"390\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/grateful-dead.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"277\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/?attachment_id=277\" class=\"wp-image-277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/grateful-dead.jpg 390w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/amandawong5\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9745\/2020\/04\/grateful-dead-221x300.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Stanley Mouse and friend Alton Kelly saw a twelfth-century illustration from <em>Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam<\/em> and used it as inspiration and as the centerpiece for the Grateful Dead&#8217;s 1966 poster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What I admire most about Stanley is his collaborative efforts with other artists.
