Description

Graffiti, tags, throw-ups, blockbusters, wild styles - the variety of terms is as colourful as the artists' handwriting. Graffiti School" is now the ultimate overview of all questions relating to art from spray cans. Even if opinions often differ as to whether it is artistic or criminal, the market at least has long since decided and honours the work of activists such as Banksy or Blek le Rat just as highly as that of other contemporary artists.

In addition to a brief overview of the beginnings of graffiti art, "Graffiti School" provides plenty of practical instructions and basic knowledge: from the composition, handling and care of graffiti equipment to illustrated step-by-step instructions for design elements and techniques. Numerous picture examples of graffiti from all over the world complete this manual. The author, Christoph "Jeroo" Ganter, can draw on his own experience as a graffiti artist.
