1.0 out of 5 stars Title is very misleading, February 13, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Street Scene: How To Draw Graffiti-Style (Paperback)
I'm not sure how this book could even be labeled graffiti anything. There is nothing graffiti about it. This is a book on how to draw cartoon characters, period. I have been a graffiti artist for over 15 years and the characters in this book aren't even remotely close to being graffiti characters. I bought this book for a nephew of mine who has always been into my graffiti work and I thought he would enjoy it. But, it's a HUGE disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for Kids, February 22, 2007
By 
Pam (Cincinnati) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Street Scene: How To Draw Graffiti-Style (Paperback)
It should be pointed out that this is a unique book on drawing cartoon characters, not actually making graffiti. My young son particularly likes the skateboard stuff in this book, and he is able to follow along with the step-by-step demonstrations easily. Kids will like this.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A JOKEE!!, August 8, 2007
This review is from: Street Scene: How To Draw Graffiti-Style (Paperback)
I have no idea why this book is called graffiti style. It has almost NOTHING to do with graffiti. It is just a how-to-draw cartoons book LABELED graffiti style (not graffiti characters, just regular cartoons!). Seriously a pitiful book. Do not buy this book if you are looking for a graffiti book. This is a complete waste of time. As soon as I received the book and took a quick glance at it, I laughed and resealed it back into the box immediately for return. If you bought this book, return it!! Just look how many new&used versions of this book there are. That should give you a good idea of how many people DON'T like this book.
