If you were looking for the perfect holiday gift for that special Hip-Hopper in your life. Look no furthur. Graffiti World is a book by Nicholas Ganz that shows off street art from hundreds of artists around the world. Graffiti is an important part of hip-hop culture that has roots stemming from those magical years (1977-1979) and this book does a magnificent job of displaying some of the best street art ever done. The book is filled with color photos (over 2000) printed on high quality glossed paper. Each artist’s work is accompanied by a short bio about the writer themself.
This book has introduced me to a whole new side of urban art (who knew Brazil did it like that?) and is an incredibly interesting read. Not to mention the fact that this book will make you the hippest kid amongst all your older yuppie friends. When they see it on your coffee table they’ll be crazy with yuppie envy (truly the worst kind of envy). And if you don’t hang out with yuppies its still a fantastic read.
I copped it for like $35 at Borders. Amazon has it 4 cheep.
BTW. Cop that new Clipse. Golden…
