Untitled: Street Art in the Counter Culture

Click for larger image

Not to be filed under history, photography, design or non-fiction, as it contains outright lies and outrageous subjective opinion, this book is definitely about street art. It is also about now. Fungus grows on your collected wild-style pioneers. Vile passions rage between old schools and new. Shit flies out from under the hammer at auction houses and property developers fund street art shows to liberal press fanfare. Oh, and Bansky hits the West Bank. Is anyone taking this stuff seriously? Is it all just an immense daisy chain of poker faces, irony and mind games?

The Ulysses Guide to the Los Angeles River

Click for larger image

The culture of Los Angeles flows -- both figurative and quite literally -- through its central vein: The River. This book is borne from a fascination and love that precedes the attention that has shifted back to this flow. Fathered by the late Ulysses Zemanova and further nurtured by its co-authors/editors, The Ulysses Guide to the Los Angeles River (UGLAR) moves beyond the overexposed culture of graffiti and misunderstood world of scientific discovery. UGLAR wishes to bring to light the authors' interest, if only to spawn more within its readers.

UGLAR's first volume has two focuses: Biology and Art. Los Angeles-based artwork contributions from: Chaz Bojorquez, ZES, Jack Rudy, Chuey Quintanar, Steve Martinez, Gregg Stone, Robert Meinhardt, Chris Brand, SinerLTS, Evan Skrederstu, Rob Sato ... and more. Interviews with artists also included

Graffiti Japan

Click for larger image

But the fanatical embrace with which Japanese artists have welcomed graffiti has spawned a form wholly distinct from it's western origins, replete with intricate kanji tags and amine murals. Graffiti Japan captures the culturally unique aspects of Japanese street art, featuring work by some of the countries busiest crews, as well as interviews with the scene's major players -like KRESS, BELX2, QP and SHIZENTOMOTEL. Sanctioned by the artists, Graffiti Japan showcases a scene primed to explode its own influence around the globe.
