WK Interact by Josh Rubin
WK Interact, the French urban artist based in NYC, has a new book out. Featuring his street, studio and commissioned work from the last 10 years, the book also includes some shots that reveal the depth of his creative process. Famous for his black and white painted murals of skaters, kung-fu masters boxers and mountain climbers, all of his work incorporates a unique and often eerie sense of motion. If you can't make it to downtown Manhattan to experience his murals first person, this book is a must have. Actually, it's a great one for the library regardless.
US$55 here.

Street World
The new project from Roger Gastman, Caleb Neelon and Anthony Smyrski, Street World: Urban Art and Culture from Five Continents, clocks in at nearly 400 pages of full-color images of all the street culture we knew we loved (graffiti, fashion, skateboarding, and so on) with plenty of more esoteric global happenings. Think pigeon keeping, protests, activism, drum lines, urban exploration, signage and plenty of...

Wild Style: DVD and Book Giveaway
Wooden acting and choppy production quality aside (we think it's part of its charm), when "Wild Style" was produced in 1982 the movie-going public was barely aware of the burgeoning hip hop scene sprouting up in the decaying urban centers that had been abandoned by the comfortable classes in the previous decade. “Nothing else comes close to capturing the atmosphere of the early days...

Dumbo: Acts of Vandalism and Stories of Love
Word on the street is that the prolific graffiti artist Dumbo had to leave Milan for Brooklyn at the risk of arrest. The writer's tag dots lower Manhattan, around Canal on West Broadway, but in Milan it seems like he hit every single building. His recent book documents his life as a vandal, including his tags, art, actions and the like, featuring an intro...

Horse Play
Cloth-bound, gilt-edged and printed on matte paper, the new book called Horse Play tells the story of Streethorsing—the sport of riding horses in cities—with the highest of production values. Whether or not the obscure subculture actually exists, the tome is filled with unbelievable photos of horses doing skateboard-like tricks off railings and over barriers (challenging pro photoshop-spotters) and interspersed with snaps of minor celebs...

The Book of Tags
The Book of Tags, a 256-page hardcover book on the subject. Its pages further explore the debate as the authors note that tagging is "a phenomenon which stands on the thin border between art and vandalism." What started out in the '70s as a way for young people to mark their territory on NYC subway cars has burgeoned into a worldwide art movement. An anthology...
