This short but sweet bit from Noisey Design, "The Lo-Fi Art Of Seattle Grunge," features local design legend Art Chantry.

In the late 80's and early 90's, Art Chantry pioneered the visual style of grunge — designing posters and art for bands that defined the seattle sound. The lo-fi and deconstructed nature of photo set type, xeroxed old imagery and collage can be seen throughout his work and career. With over 500 lp covers, 400 45's and 2000 posters made to date for artists as various as the Sonics, Soundgarden, Hole and the Flaming Lips, Chantry is prolific in his contribution to the worlds of design and music.

My only complaint is the film is short on a lot of details, like things I wanna know/remember. Hell, I bet Chantry could talk for DAYS about the past and its contemporary relevance, but still, despite this problem, it's nice to hear Chantry speaking truths. Maybe Noisey Design will eventually get around to interviewing other famous Seattle grunge designers like Hank Trotter, Lisa Orth, Justin Hampton, and Jeff Kleinsmith to round out the history of the Seattle grunge design.
