More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Making It & Selling It is a new series that aims to inform young, creative practitioners on how to jump start a career, by providing practical information and invaluable advice, from major players in the field, on how to make and sell their creative output. Sections will investigate tools and materials, roots and influences, where and how to show work, case studies of people doing it, and an extensive list of contacts and resources. Each book in the series will showcase work from the most influential practitioners from around the world. Street Art aims to plug into the buzz surrounding this most contemporary of art forms. Coming from the underground and influenced by graffiti, graphic design, typography, comic books, and digital art, street art is gaining a foothold in galleries and with serious collectors. Many practitioners are self-taught, have highly-developed practical skills, unique and personal visual languages, and a burning intent to be seen and heard. The publishing boom in books on graffiti and street art has so far concentrated on geographical round-ups of found images, often reproduced as poor-quality photographs, alongside monographs of a few star artists. Street Art sets out to provide first person accounts and relevant practical information, explaining various ways of creating imagery, providing a list of contacts and an up to the minute review of the state of the art.
