Graffiti Alphabets: Street Fonts from Around the World Hardcover – April 1, 2011

The media could not be loaded.  This is gorgeous and super creative! I teach art and am totally plan to use this as reference.

Maybe...but there are global styles represented in this flick of graffiti changing as a whole - it's not Martha Cooper - but if you're patient; in time & il practice you will make your hands understand these fundamental. Calligraphic Yoga, essentiallyA lot of folks can push a skateboard around: it's the rare individual with flair who kickflps entire NY Metro Sub platforms from flat ground & land it not once, but several times

My son absolutely loved this book. I myself couldn't help but to look through it. the pages were crisp and clear. the colors from the artwork were sharp. Loved

As there were no "lock inside the books " previews available I felt a bit adventurous ordering it and I was not disappointed! I hardly ever write book reviews, but this book blew my mind away! It offers such a wide range of artists and styles that I never get tired of looking at it! The author - a graffity artist herself - asked 154 artists from around the world to contribute an alphabet for the book and it is quite fascinating to see how differently each one of them took on this task. Highly recommended!

I placed the order for the book and it got shipped out the next day. The book is kept in great condition for its price. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

This book is a great resource for anyone who has an interest in various graffiti styles/fonts. There are handwritten styles (tags), bubble letters (throw ups), simple letters, 3D letters, letters w/ characters, letters made with the human form, semi-wild style, and wild style pieces just to name a few.As mentioned in the product description, taking part in this project are some familiar faces to the graffiti scene: Askew, Persue, Wane, 123 Klan, Ces, and Rime. Regarding artists I was not familiar with, this book helped me realize what I've been missing, and with the help of web sites provided throughout the book, I was able to pull up more art from those artists that were new to me.Along with a web site listed for each artist, there is information about the crews they are a part of, mention of their favorite letter, and a paragraph of info. The paragraph might contain info about the artist, what graffiti means to them or what they love most about graffiti, and how they went about creating their alphabet. I loved how it mentioned that one writer woke up at 5 AM and went to painting his alphabet around the city before clocking in for work that day.My only dislikes were that a couple corners of my cover were a tad bent. Also, I felt that with what was shown in regards to some artists' work, a lot was left to be desired when it came to the execution of their alphabets (eg Akor, Beet, and Loomit to name a few). Then again, that could be a matter of taste. With 154 different executions, there is something for everybody!One reviewer mentioned their displeasure with the lack of colored executions. I went back and counted about 75 monotone letters. That didn't bother me so much, because it gave the letters a blackbook/sketch feel, and some letters are so nice that there's no need for the extra filler.This book is well worth the money. If you have been unsure or thinking about buying this book, my advice is to buy it before it goes off the shelves again.

My 12 year old son has recently become obsessed with street art. I got this book to help encourage his artistic exploration. He’s been practicing his own lettering since receiving this book. As a former designer myself, I really enjoyed it also. I’d definitely buy it again.

I ordered this book for my son who is in federal prison he told me that he loves this book it has many different fonts and ways to be creative with his drawings I would recommend this book

Para quem quiser praticar a iniciação em graffiti, este livro é um ótimo começo.

Todo bien la entrega fue tal como me dijeron , fue un regalo

The book itself is colourful and would be a lovely gift for beginner graffiti artists. It was well packed but upon opening the box, there's a significant crease that runs down the whole of the front cover. It's clearly been mishandled. I will purchase this again, but I will be in returning this item.
