    I wanted a book showing a variety of quality street art/urban outsider art/whatever you want to call it, with a bit of info about the artists and lots of good, clear, large pictures.

    This book delivers exactly that. Some minimal blurb about the artists, with the main focus on the artwork.

    A nice variety of work is represented and the pictures are plentiful and very good quality for a book of this price.

    This is a decent enough book; a collection of work by artists who may, at one time or other could have been described as outsiders but now – as others have noted – have either achieved recognition or were never quite outside in the first place.

    Whatever your opinion is on that, it's a good enough volume to have on your bookshelf just for reference or for inspiration (or outright theft if you're a professional).
    There's a pretty good selection of work on show, though a fair number of the artists represented here now have proper monographs available on them (Conor Harrington, Jonathan Yeo, Faile) but there's still interesting stuff here that isn't easy to find elsewhere – Antony Micallef, for example, and I'd love to see more of Ian Francis` work.
    There`s a lot of colour illustrations and the relatively few supporting texts are enough to give you some orientation – the main point of having this though is for the work.

    A useful book to have, still readily available and at a reasonable price at the time of writing this.

    i baught this from whsmith a few days back and its a great book the art work inside is amazing and so inspirational.
    if you like banksy type stuff, tongue n cheek art, graffiti, graphic design,urban/street art,art that makes you think. You will love this!
    Theres so many pictures that make you chuckle and its full of 'wish i thought of that' stuff.
    i cant recommend this enough its worth every penny.

    Wonderful font of info on the leading street artists of today. Colourful and fun to read and share. You don't need a dictionary or a PHD in modern art to understand the text. It's real, down to earth, full of information and so informative and stimulating to work through. I do highly recommend it to everyone. Would make a great present too. It's also well worth looking at the Lazarides web site and on-line gallery - totally amazing.

    I was a little disappointed because its a great subject. Yes, I expected more, but it was not a bad attempt.

    This is a good book. A perfect introduction to some talented Artists.
    Large colour images. Well Conceived and beautifully executed.
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2010
    this is the sort of nicely designed coffee table book a trustafrian would leave lying round to give the impression of a cool edgy relationship with da street and that they're not from a nice public school after all. As if to prove this it features the work of johnny yeo, a real outsider, in so much as his father was a tory cabinet minister. But hey, look he's edgy now, he uses bits of porn. How Risque. Slick vanity publishing for the gallery which represents all the artists. Not outsiders.
