friendofdorothywilde: From the author of the enormously successful Graffiti World comes this spectacular follow-up, celebrating the contributions of women to contemporary graffiti and street art. Female writers have always been in the vanguard of the graffiti movement, though often shunted to the sidelines by their male counterparts. This exhaustive volume places them front and center, featuring 1,000 full-color illustrations from some of the world’s most prominent artists, including Brazil’s Nina, Japan’s Sasu, Mexico’s Peste, and the Americans Lady Pink, Swoon, and Miss 17. Two eight-page fold-out collages, a fold-out poster jacket, and an authoritative text round out the impressive package. The first and only comprehensive survey of its kind, this book is sure to attract and expand upon the wide and enthusiastic readership that made Graffiti World such a runaway success. Amazon.com: Graffiti Women: Street Art from Five Continents (9780810957473): Nicholas Ganz, Nancy MacDonald, Swoon: Books Wish Listing this so hard right now. I’ve always been fascinated by graffiti art and the artists themselves. It’s an incredible underground art culture in its own right, but typically identified as a masculine-rebellious art form. So, it’s wonderful to see a compilation like Graffiti Women, to throw these talented ladies into our faces, and make their craft known. They’ve got mad skills and loud, creative voices. Let them be be seen and heard. It’s a beautiful thing.
