Editorial Reviews

Review
"Interesting insight into the minds of...artists who have had a huge impact on contemporary art and culture..." -- Terri Coles, Scene Magazine

Product Description
This compelling look at graffiti explores the many aspects of this shocking, raw, and often vulgar art form that are not typically discussed. The hearts and minds of obsessive graffiti writers are revealed, and a range of controversial topics are addressed. What motivates them? How do they live? Why and how do they become interested in what many see as vandalism? The techniques and tools of the trade are examined, and interviews with notorious graffiti writers from around the world are included. Filled with stunning and rare color photographs of some of the deadliest tags, throw-ups, cross-outs, and burners from the private collections of graffiti legends, this book will be treasured by graffiti writers, those fascinated by hip-hop culture, and individuals interested in urban art and the lives and motives of obsessive vandals.

5.0 out of 5 stars A REAL GRAFFITI BOOK, April 10, 2006
By KERS "3XD" (CHI-TOWN) - See all my reviews
As a graffiti writer I love this book. If I wasn't a graffiti writer, I would still love this book. This book covers it all! It explains everything from a tag to piece, and everything in between. It puts everything you ever wanted to know about graffiti in one simple book. So if you love graffiti like I do, then this is a great book to add to your collection. If you know nothing about graffiti, buy this book and you will have the knowledge to pass-off as a writer. But remember, just having knowledge won't get you ups or props!!! Keep it real.

This book is by far one of the best books on pure graffiti I have ever seen.It gives you the views from a group of experienced graffiti writers you have seen and been threw and sacrificed a lot for their passion .It is a must have ifyou are a dedicated graff writer or if you are a coming up in the game. It could teach you a lot.
A great read great pictures. 10 on 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2004 Writers Notes Book Award, May 17, 2005
The methods of graffiti art and its culture are revealed in this beautifully illustrated and photographed book. With poise and candor, Paul 107-the tag by which he is known-guides us through the hit-and-run lifestyle of those who cast throwups upon the structured surfaces of their hometowns. No matter how you feel about graffiti-art or menace-you quickly learn that this is no random event. It is a compulsion, labored for night upon night, seeking the perfect expression and sometimes dealing a cross out or a burner to a rival, and it's all free-free can-vases to paint, free paint and markers racked from stores, and free for you and me to view from rooftops and traffic jams. When done with respect to the code (i.e. no churches, cars, artwork, etc.), graffiti adds color to the white noise of civilization. The only real cost appears to be the court fines after inevitably getting busted. I wonder if Paul 107 won't one day be applying this category prize in that direction.
