Blog 2: Psychedelic Design Hero

In week 5, we discussed the design of dissent. The most interesting part in the 1960s is the bold, special type style which most of the designers used it in their art works. One one them is Stanley Mouse.

Stanley Mouse

Stanley Mouse is an American Artist. He was well-known for his psychedelic rock concert designs for the Grateful Dead and Journey albums cover. Mouse completed his formal education at Detroit’s Society of Arts and Crafts. He developed the skill of using airbrush and began painting T-shirts at custom car shows. In 1964, people invited him for designing the Monogram automobile model kits, he then created his famous monster cartoon characters.

I really like his art style which I think it looks like a poker card and I love he used bright and bold colours especially the red really captures my eyes. Besides, most of his arts give me a sense of misery which led me to think the meaning behinds the designs.
