The Mammoth Book of Street Art door Jake
An excellent collection of Street Art from around the world, several artists new to me an many have put names to pieces I've seen in Shoreditch etc. Got it in the Kindle sale for about a quid and reads very well on my Nexus 7 - even more so I'd imagine if you have an iPad or larger tablet.
There's some funny stuff in here, some decent satirical pokes at the Tories, especially Theresa May and Boris Johnson, some well-drafted cartoons and illustrations, too. But...
Overall, it comes off as a little too ernest, a little too preachy, and often a little too holier-than-thou to redeem the parts that hit the mark. It's a shame, because I really wanted to love this comic.

I approached this book as someone who with no real knowledge of street art. I do have a book about the Slinkachu's mini people, a concept which I love, but that was my limit. This book managed to give me a glimpse into this artform, and I enjoyed finding out a little more.
There is a large selection of artists featured, from around the world. Each one has a short intro, and then some colour pictures of their work. Some have only a page, whilst others have more. There's a wide range of styles, some of which I found rather amazing, whilst a few seemed more like traditional graffiti.
For someone with no knowledge, it gives an interesting glimpse at the street art on offer, but it would also make a good collection for those already interested.… (meer)
