4.0 out of 5 stars Where Grafitti Went Next, 9 Sep 2004
By D. Amor (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Spraycan Art is a great book. It has a bunch of nice pieces and shows how different graffiti styles evolved in different countries around the world. It does a pretty good job of covering the NY, LA, London and Paris scenes in the early 90s.

Nowhere that I've found will you find a better collection of Chrome Angelz pieces; find out what Seen did after Subway Art; and find out how LA found a style of its own.

That said, despite some great pieces and despite poring over every image in the past, this is a book of fading interest to me. The book lacks the historical significance and authenticity of Subway Art and doesn't have the same quality of pieces which can now be found recent graffiti magazines and books.

I'd recommend this book if you were interested in what happened to grafitti after New York spawned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, 29 Aug 2006
By Chris Barnes "Graphic designer" (Bristol England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book does a great job in showing how graffiti evolved from the streets of America to the streets of Europe and beyond. It details how crews such as the chrome angelz brought their art across the pond to places like the Uk and France where distinctive styles are born and developed. It also features pictures of Massive Attacks 3D and junglist, Goldie both looking V youthful pre-recording deal days. Its a must have in every Graffitti writers library along with piece books, photo albums and fat caps.... I havent picked up a spray can in years but still leaf through every so often and am amazed at how good Mode 2 is. A+ read

5.0 out of 5 stars Spraycan Heaven..............., 27 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I bought this book in 1988 along with Subway Art which is another legend in the world of street art. I was just 17 at the time and still today this book inspires the imagination to compose original art. In particular, the Art dedicated to those who tragically died for the cause, sticks in my mind and nuff respect goes out to those train dodgers who still,today, spray on. If you're inspired by free minds, then look at this book, it will stimulate and dazzle you with it's style and colour.

Peace + Love DD
