well what can i say.this book is dope.from start to finish it keeps the reader interrested.the interviews with some of new yorks king and pioneers of graffiti are well detailed with out dragging on.
the pictures are great even thoo some of them are over 30 years old.
this book is a trip back in time.
also i loved the fact that there was plenty of text.alot of graffiti books try to avoid this or just dont have much text.
this is part of the reason the book got 5 stars.for me i really like reading.so having alot of text is just a added bonus.
if you enjoyed books like dondi,t-kid,fuzz,hip hop files,then get this book.
my only gripe is that i didnt spring for the limited edtion…
oh and its pretty thick too,so lots of pictures,lots of text.
a great all round graff book,from the early graff times in new york city!

Trying out graffiti in order to show I have range?
i have a huge passion for art, and i’m talented too. i’m confident in my work, so my portfolio got critiqued by gala owners from San Francisco and they gave me some really great advice. one of the critics was a underground graffiti artist who’s been hugely successful, he complimented Graffiti CArtoon Artist my work and gave me some compliments but randomly told me he’d like to see me try some graffiti? he said it’ll really help with perspective and dimension and give it a raw street style, which is kind of what my stuff is but more tweaked out academic art mixed with 1950’s cartoon. i don’t really like graffiti.. i think street art is a little ridiculous.. i don’t really see myself progressing with it as the style is so different from what i’m used too but at the same time i don’t want to cut short, i want to show universities i have range. i know i’d pick it up extremely quickly, so would it be worth giving it a shot?i wouldn’t tag, thats not really my thing. thanks!

    Let me just start off by saying this book is OFF THE HOOK! This book is up there with Subway Art, Dondi White and Freight Train Graffiti. This is a book written by real artist that influenced the graff game at a whole other level. I was lucky enough in my youth to have met Todd “Reas” James and he was one of the coolest writers I ever met. He gave me outlines and would just kick it with me even though I was new to the scene. His style is still seen today in so many writers doing their thing today. The interviews in this book are amazing! The photos are clear and I like how they show the writers at that time and what influenced them. For anyone a fan of graffiti or any new writers looking to get schooled this is a must have.
