Arthur S.W. Chantry II is mostly admired for his posters and album covers. Characteristics of his work derive from pop art, punk , psychedelia, and comic books. He recycles industrial catalogues, 1940 and 1950's clip art and found imagery. His works come together on limited funds, and he puts them together by cutting and pasting materials together and uses cheaper low tech printing processes to produce one of a kind posters. After having left the city due to rise in cost of living he moved to Tacoma where he thought at the School of Visual Concepts for 18 years to learn basic graphic design on computers. He used to reject this in his previous works but now it is how he produces his designs. He prefers media with maximum exposure through minimal means. He is seen as a hero of indie and grunge graphics. Influence from to the punk era is visible in many of his works. His hand made works, with stencilled and dispersed typography are very similar to fanzines present in the punk era.
