STYLEISKING Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Book Description A classic body of photographs, most never before seen in print, documenting New York graffiti's emergence. The now global phenomenon of graffiti was first captured in New York by a professional photographer in early 1973. The result was Jon Naar's The Faith of Graffiti, the first and most celebrated book about this controversial new art form. Now the forty or so photographs in that book and more than one hundred additional never-before-published pictures from that landmark body of work are brought together in a book destined to become a classic in its own right. Presented full-frame, at high resolution, and with meticulous attention to the original color, this book brings to life the gritty, exciting New York of the early 1970s and the raw visual power of early graffiti. While today graffiti is an accepted reality of city life--by turns condemned and embraced--these early photographs recall a time when subway cars and tenement walls seemed to explode overnight into bursts of color and energy. In most cases these ephemeral works survive only in Naar's masterful photographs. Sacha Jenkins, an authority on graffiti's history, puts these photographs in a broad historical context of an emerging youth culture that now reaches into every corner of art, fashion, and entertainment. At once nostalgic and inspirational, The Birth of Graffiti opens the way to a deeper appreciation of graffiti's historical and artistic significance. About the Author Jon Naar's work has appeared for more than four decades in publications including The New York Times Magazine, Vogue, Elle, and The London Times and has been exhibited at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art. His books of photographs include The Faith of Graffiti and Getting the Picture. Sacha Jenkins is the editorial director of Mass Appeal magazine and the co-author of ego trip's Book of Rap Lists and ego trip's Big Book of Racism.

STYLEISKING Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Book Description Long before graffiti was adopted as the visual expression of hip-hop culture in the 1980s, Chicano gang members in East Los Angeles had been developing stylized calligraphy and writing on walls. Cholo (gangster) scripts became the first distinctive letter forms to evolve in the modern vernacular tradition of graffiti writing. Today Los Angeles writers of diverse backgrounds draw from a unique confluence of cultures that has led to regionally distinctive styles. Graffiti L.A. provides a comprehensive and visual history of graffiti in Los Angeles, as well as an in-depth examination of the myriad styles and techniques used by writers today. Complementing the main text, interviews with L.A.’s most prolific and infamous writers provide insight into the lives of these fugitive artists. Essential to the understanding of the development of the graffiti movement, this book will be an invaluable source to graffiti fans around the world. About the Author Steve Grody saw spray can art begin to appear around Los Angeles’s streets and walls in the 1980s and immediately recognized its creativity and verve. Since 1990, he has been driving across Los Angeles searching its back alleys, washes, and abandoned lots for this vernacular art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STYLEISKING Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Rockin It Suckers The inside story of the crew that has kept graffiti alive in New York City for the past 20 years “The trains may have been buffed, but Rockin’ It Suckers proves the ris crew’s indelible mark on New York City and graffiti culture worldwide.” – Abbey Goodman, Executive editor at RollingStone.com “RIS is the id of graffiti; Dirty, dangerous, wild and free.” – Espo. In the late 80s New York was a city tormented by crack and violent crime. At the same time the golden age of hip hop was in full bloom. As the authorities decided to clean up the city, a group of kids got together to taste the last of the city’s painted subway trains. The ris crew was determined to keep the trains colourful and decided to wage their own war with the city. As a result they became one of the world’s most important and influential graffiti crews.
