A definite keeper.......2007-03-02

This collection is a gift for any hipster sticker collector who appreciates hard to find retro design mixed with modern street icons with an urban Japanese influence. For me its worth the 63 stickers, the book and a cool DVD short. Plus the packaging is a definite keeper. If you consider yourself "mainstream" this is probably not your stilo.

great present!.......2006-12-27

perhaps if i had paid for this box of stickers, i would feel the same way as the other reviewers, but when i opened this box on Christmas morning i was really excited. some of the stickers are totally lame, but many of them are cute and will make you smile. none are particularly thought provoking and i think that some of them *are* dumb, but most from my box will find a place somewhere flat in Tulsa, and my favorites will definitely be visible in my room.

i think the box should contain more stickers, though. the book is cool, but i would've preferred twice the stickers and half the book.

A terrible follow up to Sticker Graphics 1.......2006-12-20

Don't get swindled by the packaging. The graphical quality of the contents are suspect as a fair amount of the illustrations I can only describe as grade school crayon scribbles. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but not enough to warrant purchase.

Complete Disappointment.......2006-09-26

I am a fan of modern illustration, and I was hoping to see great things in these stickers designs. They are 98% lifeless. Uninspired (and uninspiring) artwork is seen in sticker after sticker, and page after page of the book. If I had a nice sticker, I might save it without ever affixing it to anything. If I had a so-so sticker, I might think of sticking it on something in the world. I can't even bring myself to give most of these stickers to the little girl sticker fiend down the block. The plastic box is the best piece in this grouping, and it's not worth the price.

Book Description

A worldwide survey of one of the biggest trends in street art: paper works of art glued to a city's surfaces.

For some forty years, city streets have been home to the modern graffiti movement, and now there is a fresh creative twist. Walls, phone booths, curbs, traffic signs—in cities around the world public surfaces are adorned with hand-painted or hand-crafted posters and stickers.

Claudia Walde, aka Mad C and herself a graffiti artist, traveled the globe from Philadelphia to Prague, Barcelona to Berlin, to meet the great names in street art and to find the creative custodians of the new sticker cities. More than eighty artists are represented, with images chosen from over 7,000 examples. Mad C first covers the scene's history, including Shepard Fairey's Obey Giant propaganda campaign, Blek le Rat's stencil graffiti, and Revs's sensational sticker flood in New York City in the 1990s. Her documentation of the contemporary scene includes fascinating insights into the techniques used by today's artists: Swoon and her amazing cut-outs, Invader's ceramic mosaics, and Above's wooden arrows.

Classic graffiti lives. But this essential book reveals how street art is continually renewing itself and concludes with a look into the future. 300 color illustrations.

Graffiti has its poster board roots on city walls, typically - but this worldwide survey documents a new trend: paper works glued to city surfaces. The author is a graffiti artist who traveled around the world surveying street art: some eighty artists' works are profiled in over 7,000 examples of this new 'paper art graffiti, providing both a historical survey and insights into the special demands of the new 'adhesive art' medium. Any art library holding will find this an excellent and unique acquisition.

Eye-opening.......2007-06-18

An interesting and well-designed catalog of an emergent art form. I still consider most "Street Art" to be just a notch above blight and usually an eyesore, but this book revealed an imaginative world of design and artistic improvisation. Too bad Banksy's too much the recluse to be profiled here, but his absence is made up for by the wide survey of international "stars." Now I've caught myself paying more attention to the visual "noise" around me, looking for sly creative expressions. Too bad most of the graffiti, scratchiti, and tagging I see is still craptacular, and nowhere near as the intriguing as what's shown off in this book.

Book Description

Every skateboarder wants to have the hottest graphics on his or her board.But the wear and tear of the skater's grind naturally makes it difficult to keep your graphics bold and dynamic. Thus were skateboard stickers born.

Virtually every skateboarder has a sticker collection of some sort, either on a bedroom door or on the refrigerator or in a shoe box. Stickers became extremely important in the late eighties and early nineties when many smaller, skater-owned companies emerged. Thanks to the low cost and ease with which they can be produced, stickers are an easy way to get brands noticed. Virtually every board graphic is also available in sticker form, and with graphics only having a shelf life of around six months, and hundreds of companies and thousands of boards available, it's easy to see why they are so collectable.

Skateboard Stickers celebrates the use of stickers in skateboarding. Showing the full spectrum of skate sticker art, it brings together over 350 of the most memorable stickers ever produced. From Wes Humpston and Dogtown's stickers in the 1970s to Birdo at Consolidated's 'Don't Do It' sticker campaign, the book features the best designs, selected by pro skateboarders past and present, skate artists and other influential figures in the skate industry around the world. It includes sticker related stories and articles from skaters and artists, such as the story of Death skateboards or Jim Phillips' legendary Screaming Hand sticker logo for Speed Wheels Santa Cruz, as well as a look at the sticker-making process, and quotes from skateboarders describing what stickers mean to them personally. Contributors include Wes Humpston, Bucky Lasek, Sean Goff, Steve Alba, Andy Howell, Mark McKee, Jim Phillips, and Mike Vallely.

Bonus feature: each book is packaged with a new skateboard sticker, commissioned especially for this volume.
