What if “Graffiti Art” didn’t raise eyebrows in your art class? What if “Graffiti” wasn’t viewed as a problem, but a solution to the problems, that it wasn’t the question, but it was the answer.

This book is the first step in the journey to change the paradigm, and answer some of those “why” questions. Graffiti was once viewed as merely a blemish on the urban landscape, but graffiti has evolved into a legitimate art form in its own right, influencing the worlds of fine art, entertainment, advertising, and fashion. This book is more than just an art instructional. It is filled with insights and clues to the authors journey, and in sharing that journey, you will discover your own voice.

Step by step, Scape lays out the philosophies and realities of the genre. From picking a "tag" and developing letterforms, to the logistics of prepping a wall and working a spray can in a painterly fashion. You will understand the fundamental elements of graffiti letters, characters, and backgrounds and how they rock together. “GRAFF” will help you find your voice, develop your style and start to leave your mark.
