Featured: Book Review of Graffiti Planet

  • Book Review– Graffiti Planet
    Intro by KET
    Michael O’Mara Books-Published 2007 UK

    Graffiti 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.
