bigpoppa.k Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 i got mine today and i gotta say i'm pretty disappointed. its a pretty serious book but the representation for canada is seriously lacking. how can you do canada without including ren, daser, virus and cosoe? take5, sight, no montreal or vancouver whatsoever? ahhh well..

ASEN DCE Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 is this any better than the art of getting over? this looks like one of those books thats just full of filcks, does it actually have any information or interviews? i hate books that only have photos, thats what the net is for.

Cracksmoka Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 i boosted this book 2 weeks ago, its alright.. alot of street artists.. alot of euro crap... alot of obscure writers that are legitimately good though...and not enough bombing heads... in sumation... -"lots of pretty colors, not lots of what i like..." b-........ leaning towards the "graffiti is an artform" crowd in contrast to the "graffiti is a crime plain an simple so fuck you" crowd........

iamokru Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 i didnt like the way it seemed to just skip past london beacuse its "too hard" to paint. if anything, it should have more converage for that fact. bump for the nylon stuff tho.

Guest kidlugz Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 to be honest, this book isn't that good. yes, there are tons of glossy pages and worldwide coverage but ALOT of the content is questionable. Not to mention the author seems kind of clueless judging by the captions. the majority of this book appears to be legal walls and productions, with some freights and cleans thrown in here and there. i think fans of graffiti would hold this book in high regard, while many writers will probably scoff at the corny writing and lack of well rounded coverage. and i'll second big poppa k's comments. way to many ill canadian writers got the shaft.

ODESY1 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 i guess i side with the majority, i beat the book from a local store and after skimming through it im glad i didnt buy it. in my opinion its not completly wack they do have some shit, but it seems its stuff ive seen already, for the size of it it should have more writers than it does.

The title is misleading. Its an alrite book, worth a look, but not necessarily worth buying. Its got some decent people but some i have no idea why the hell they were put in. I saw a place that sells it in the decorated boxs, it costs an extra £35, definitely not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermdog Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 From what i've seen of it at B&N last weekend, it was worth a purchase. My girl had to rip it from my hands because she's getting it for me for x-mas.... For those who love graff as a whole, then they'll like this book. It's broad but has a ton of artists from all over.

Guest imported_b0b Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Lots of the people in it shouldn't be in it and lots of people that should be aren't. Seems more a case of if you are a friend or friend of friend of the guy that put it together you got in, whilst lots of VERY worthy people were left out. Definately one for the "pretty pictures" crowd and not meant for writers themselves. Graf media should be "by writers, for writers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

master bait Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 considering the price, it's a good buy. it's cheaper than some of those granny porn mags with a dvd, so you should consider skipping this month and getting the graff world instead. and it's OK. but it's nothing special except for it's size... the layout is sometimes confusing and it really lacks some stuff. Was Sweden mentioned? I didn't find it. but brave projects like these can't be perfect, i guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illestpapoe!!!! Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 its a really good book or what it is.. but really bad in terms of information I couldnt stop yelling at that book.. "your wrong" "stop saying that" and "common man expand on that" but i guess its the pictures what counts anyway, reading long texts doesnt appeal to most writers anyway as they prefer mainly the visual as grafiti is.. this book is fucking dope for that.. but mixing street artists and showing 95% pieces makes many writers smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
