Book Review– Graffiti Planet
Intro by KET
Michael O’Mara Books-Published 2007 UKGraffiti Planet is a nice little picture book, compiled and intro’ed by KET. Nice representation of graffiti from all over the world, and the differences of styles from various regions is entertaining. A bi-fold is dedicated to a 9/11 tribute wall that five crews collaborated on in Queens; though perhaps the most impressive piece, at least from an execution perspective, is the tag by BOND in the Himalayas. His tag stands proudly 4500 meters - or almost 3 miles - high in the sky. Seriously, how???As far as Chi-town representation, the MUL crew is highlighted with a Made U Look ‘L’ car, and REVISE CMW have a piece featured as well.
If you have a few minutes to appreciate art from all over, check out Graffiti Planet. Just don’t check it out from the Chicago Library. Some asshole ripped up several of the pages.
