Design Spot: Chuck Anderson
I came across the work of Chuck Anderson in a recent interview he did with istockphoto. It wasn’t until I visited his website No Pattern that I realised I’d already seen much of his work.
After finishing school he had a variety of jobs from screen printer to working as a packer for threadless (who he has since subsequently designed t’s for and had a show at the gallery). After that he decided to brave it on his own and seems to be doing very well for himself.
What I love the most about his work is his bold use of colour. It’s really confident and in your face, which isn’t the type of design I usually admire, but Chuck seems to pull it off effortlessly. He can do bold brash urban design as well as doing understated colourfulness (see my personal favourite of his work, first picture below).
He really does have a very distinguishable style all of his own, which from the looks of things, people are queuing up to get him to do work for them.
Visit his site and have a mooch around, and maybe even visit his online store and buy a bargain print for your wall.
