Street Art Stencils!

More about the book

Stunning and vibrant artwork can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs, and other surfaces in cities worldwide. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the street art movement that began in the late 1960s with anonymous spray-can art and has since grown into a cross-cultural phenomenon. It explains the difference between street art and graffiti, along with new trends and styles. Each medium is explored in different chapters—stickers and posters, stencils, textured surfaces, traffic signs, buildings, and furniture. Additional chapters focus on street art characters and panoramic murals. Woven throughout are biographies of internationally known artists and interviews with each one. This work offers an exciting look at an art movement that has been around for decades but is just now beginning to emerge in the mainstream.
