Dan Mumford - Graphic Artist

Dan Mumford is a freelance illustrator and artist that has done work for various album covers of bands that reside from the heavy metal side of music. Some of his work that is my favourites are such things as the work he did for my favourite band – ‘A Day to Remember’ and their album named ‘Homesick’. This can be seen as below: The reasons why I like his work and this particular work are because it’s very detailed, vibrant and yet complicated at the same time. His style is attractive to me and his style is unique and recognisable to many. Dan Mumford had an interview with someone at AlwaysThinkIn and spoke about various things; some of his contextual influences include Alfons Mucha, whose work has boldness much like Dan’s. This is a direct quote from that interview with Dan Mumford: “Who has influenced your art, past and present?” “I always find this question hard to answer, and I always answer with the most broad answer I can, because essentially my influences are all over the place. I think the one thing that really captured my heart and imagination was films from the 80′s-90′s in the sci-fi and horror genre. Aliens, the terminator, The thing, blade runner, Big trouble in little China and so on, artists didn’t really resonate with me that much and they still don’t, I try to look outside the box for influence. I think the only artist I can say has honestly impacted my style is Alfons Mucha, and I see it in a lot of peoples work these days, his flowing lines and yet the boldness of his work is unbeatable.”
