In the style of Stanley Donwood

Above i have displayed a painting i created in the style of Stanley Donwood's 2003 map paintings. His concept was based around cities being inhabited by only 7 select colours, taking words from the very streets he would paint, and display them in these select colours, marking out the roads and paths of famous cities like Los Angeles, Grozny and Baghdad. I completed this piece for a task in college inwhich i had to design a painting in the style of another artist. The street map you can see above is of central liverpool. I took pictures of several information kiosks, all which had a large overview map of the central area, and began to draw out how my map would look. I used the exact same paint colours as Stanley Donwood did (In reading his latest book 'Dead Children Playing', inwhich he has wrote commentary on his 2003 pieces, he notes the specific colours), and used words both from his pieces and the individual streets i was currently painting the map of.
