Rodney Trotter Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Originally posted by 200$ best book: "The Faith of Graffiti" by Norman Mailer don't sleep kiddies. I'm on the look out for this one. I phoned my local library and they said they had two copies, so I thought I'll get down there and help myself. So I get there, and some fuckers had beat me to it - both copies 'missing'! 'Subway Art' has got to be one of the best. 'The Art of Getting Over' is a good one too, as is the 'Dondi' book. If you want a good read and a little bit of history check out 'Getting Up'.

Getting Up rocks, a very interesting read - I'd still rate Subway Art as the best though, probably more because it's started a ridiculous amount of writers careers when it first came about.

Dr. Dazzle Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Yeah, Getting Up is a good one. The tale of Lee and his whole train was captivating..... Art of Getting Over is another good one, as is Spray Can Art......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilpherGirl Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 btw where can i get a copy of graffiti books (not by internet)? the local book stores (chapters, codies, etc.) dun seem to be carrying them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I've got subway art and the art of getting over. Both of those are bad ass. I'll probably get Dondi next. I thought Futura's book was interesting as well. I bet if Barnes and Noble didn't have a copy on hand you could get them to order a one....not sure whats required to order one.

Guest serpent of the light Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 i like spray can art, art of getting over, and graffito a lot. subway art is rad too. b&n and borders can get you any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik3000 Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 The amazing thing to me about Faith of Graffiti is that Norman Mailer absolutely nailed it, he wrote just an amazing piece about graffiti, probably still the best ever. Someone with time on their hands should type it out and put it on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
