This is a truly superb book. I bought this book after seeing the first 'scrawl' book, and i am very impressed. The print quality is excellent, and the book features some excellent, often very original, design work that would interest and inspire any artist,designer , or just anyone interested in art generally. The book demonstrates the evolution of graffiti art into commercial graphic design, and the result is very impressive.I would say that the design work in this book is as good as the first 'scrawl',and so if you liked that this will not disappoint. In fact , i think a lot of the artwork is actually better, including the cover design. In all, a fantastic book that deserves a place on any designer's bookshelf.

One of the best graffiti surveys availiable.

Format:Paperback
There are a lot of graffiti art books on the market that don't capture the essence of street graphics. They either fixate on a certain style or get caught up in an outdated romanticism of the tagger figure. 'Scrawl Too' is an awesome, beautiful book featuring bombs from all over the world and scores of contemporary graffiti artists.
I got the sense that each of the featured artists has a self-awareness of the state of graffiti art in the market culture. Barry McGee has developed an iconography that captures pathos, suffering, indifference, and humor. Obey Giant emphasizes and parodies the ubiquitousness of corporate logos and has developed a brand more based on 'street cred' than market trends. (Or gives the appearance of doing so anyway). The book also focuses on smaller scale bombs and tags and in doing so a pattern emerges. Most of the pieces seem to be a reaction to the near-loss of urban spaces, both public and private to (mostly)gentrification and a dying connection between the people that inhabit them.
