coffee table books - banksy: wall & piece
this is honest to god one of my all time favorite books. like every millennial to ever exist, bAnSkY iS mY fAvoRiTe ArtIst.
street art is an interesting subject to me— my first exposure to the scene was through shepard fairey when i was maybe 13 or so. i find it wildly ironic that guys like shep will protest capitalism through their work & then turn wild profits on said work. but nonetheless, i respect him tremendously.
wall and piece is a book i’ve owned for years— i still pick it up with the same level of excitement as i did in the store all that time ago. the pages are laid out with all the thought provoking stories & images you’d expect from a guy who’s kept is identity under wraps all these years. it’s a wonderful insight into the world of graffiti that i can’t recommend enough.
you can pick it up on amazon, here.
