Remember that the graffiti scene in the 1970’s and 1980’s was a subculture that was very important to the evolution of the actual art that came from it (which we see in the 1990’s until now). In the future “graffiti art” as we think of it today will be known as one of the few original artforms that came from the U.S.A. There are not many artforms that can say that. To me this is something important to write about and I thank the writer for understanding this. Those who critisize him are obviously ignorant to what they are talking about. They do not know what is like to come from a city where the people, architecture, and system of things tells you everyday that “you are worth nothing and do not matter”. That frame of thought was the spark that started it all.
This is an excellent book that delves deep into the lives and culture of graffiti artists.

I wonder if Mr Snyder would like people to “tag” his house… Why not organize a group of ‘fans’ to graffiti his place every day? I bet he would love it! =) He does not care about all the people that has to remove it from their properties and even loves the ‘thrill’ of being a vandal. I think someone had a very over-protective mom back in the day! =) Grow up buddy! You are a College teacher now!
The only positive thing that I got from it was this: “No one wants to spend time and energy to do graffiti that will be painted over in twenty-four hours, because there’s no fame” Just a reminder for the rest of us about how to deal with this issue.

Finally a scholarly analysis of graffiti that’s not stuck in the 1970s. Anyone doing urban ethnography should check this book out. The author’s methodology appendix offers up innovative and creative research techniques. Plus, anyone following Shepard Fairey or Banksy will appreciate the discussion of the career trajectories less well-known writers take as they move away from the street.

Wow is all I have to say I bought this book for my son since he is a sneaker head as they call them. This book is truly amazing lots of pictures and the story of this artist is truly inspirational. I will be buying another book for my own library. I have also checked out your web site and noticed you had a lot more sneakers that were not in the book.
Thank you for letting me enjoy your journey!!

This artist has a unique talent that is hard to find. I recommend this book to any sneaker lover or fan. Not only is this artist’s talent unique, but so is his life journey.

Amazing book. If you have any doubt that urban life cant effect you in a positive way, you are sadly mistaken. At the least this book is inspiring and thought provoking. Amazing visuals and its presented perfectly. This book is not simply for the Sneaker Feen but also for the true artist. Get Two coppies if you can.
COlOMBo ROC!!

Brazil has to showcase some of the best Graf talent the world has to offer, The ‘Os-Gemeos Brothers’ have to be one of my faves, and this book showcases loads of the awesome imagery this beautiful city is home to. This kind of “extreme’ art (!?) has given the world a new appreciation for this type of medium & such distinct styles, It has refreshed the minds of all, and brought color to an otherwise, sometimes, dreary place, due to poverty etc, it’s so great to see such ambitious artists expressing themselves to such an extent, and to see difficult political issues get represented, it’s a good way for people to get a message across, also brings color & inspires people in this country.

This is a nice book and all – the photographs are of high quality and the writing is relativley on point – but there is one glaring problem with the book. Considering that the title of the book is “Graffiti Brasil” I find it at the same time strange and disconcerting that all it ammounts to is a circle jerk for the Sao Paulo graff scene.
Although littered with great shots of murals, throwups and pichacao from all over SP there are only a handfull of photos from Rio, Salvador, Minas, Curitiba or any of the other large cities in Brasil that sustain their own very unique scenes. And, to add insult to injury, the pictures collected of cities that are NOT Sao Paulo are shots of some of the most widley seen graffiti in each city. Hell, the one shot of any Bahian graffiti is a small piece of a huge mural in the middle of the tourist section of old town Salvador. Good job Tristian Marco, way to really go looking for new, unknown and unique pieces.
If you’re a Paulista or are afflicted with the notion that Brasil doesnt exist outside of SP, this book should be great. But, if you want to actualy LEARN anything about Brasilian graff, you’d be better off saving the money from buying this book and putting it towards a plane ticket.

Great book that shows a cross section of the Street Art scene in some of Brazil’s cities. The author interviews some of the artists, and is able to talk to the history and techniques used, so it is more then just pretty pictures.
