graffiti-drawings Authority on Futura Artist Graffiti

I returned this book right after I received it. The pieces are sparse, and don’t reflect what Futura is known for — the graf history that he’s a part of. If you want a real book worth your money, check out ‘Dondi White’. It is filled with pieces that Dondi did along with the sketches that preceeded them. It also contains artwork he has done for the gallery setting and is a much better designed book in general. In all fairness, ‘FUTURA’ does try to get innovative with some of the paper-cutting techniques and material, but that kind of experimentation should be done at the artists’ own time and not at the expense of the consumer. I give it one star above horrible.

Did the Graffiti artist Dondi really die from AIDS?
Because people Futura Artist Graffiti keep telling me that he did, if it’s true it’s sad.He was one of the best to ever walk the earth or hold a can.What up to Futura 2000!

    This book is so wonderful. It really captures the variances over the years in Futura2000’s work. The most special, a personal side to the private man in the shadows of so many of the Greatest Designs (Mo’Wax, Bathing Ape, BSF, as well as his website! etc.) of the 1990’s. I find this much more fulfilling than that of say, “Scrawl” an odd book that Many of the Artists contained, (i.e. Dj Shadow and Phil Frost) have claimed to have not known their words nor their artwork were to be printed. That has left “Scrawl” to feel quite the “exploited” book of artists rather than the Futura book, which Futura himself is quite proud. Futura2000 reveals his thoroughly detailed eye and hands on project through the collective pieces of his work and personal notes and background to his book “Futura.” (You’ll respect it right down to the paper and binding choices.) This one’s the real gem of all the books put out around this 1990’s; “Who’s Who, Definitive Underground Graf-Designer.”

    If you know his website, you’re familiar with his ways of putting things. However, in general: words / design is stuff you want to be able to touch, have within reach, own – isn’t it? I would say the book is a perfect complement to all the web pages, consisting of lots of older not yet seen work for us who weren’t there, some best-of’s that’s also on the web, plus I feel he’s allowed himself to be more autobiographical & within reach than perhaps he is with his online thoughts. Futura makes us interested in the tiniest of details.
