The History of Los Angeles Graffiti Art Volume 2, 1989-1994 assembles over 95 interviews of the most talented and prolific graffiti artists from the heyday of L.A.'s burgeoning urban art scene. Some of the writer's featured in Volume 2 are Skill, Anger, Haze, Chaka, Severe, Coax, Duce, Ganas, Jimer, Krush, Feevo, Oiler, Bruin, Vyal, Pranks, Kofie, Toomer, Hex TGO, Power, Sacred and so many more. This volume, like the first, is unlike any other book on the graffiti art phenomena. It is a collaborative effort by active graffiti writers who are dedicated to exposing the realities of this subculture.
The graffiti writers interviewed in this volume have gone on to become some of the most celebrated and sought after artists of the 21st century. This book provides in-depth narratives from graffiti writers and artists who have hitherto only been know via their licit and illicit wall art and through urban lore. As graffiti artists themselves, the publishers, editors, and designers of this extensive volume have made certain that all the narratives and photos represent this true urban art form in a way that both educates readers of ethnographic texts and impresses consumers of quality art-books.
In addition to first-time interviews with legends of West Coast Los Angeles graffiti art, the entire volume relies on many never-before seen photos that make the book as interesting as a photo essay as it is important as a sociological document&183; In addition, this book contains current photos that display the progression and influence of these writers. This book will be sought after by artists, historians, coffee-table book consumers, scholars and students in the social sciences, graffiti writers, and anyone interested in reading about and looking at one of the most talked about and often misunderstood cultural movements of all time.
True to our ethnographic approach, every attempt has been made to preserve the proper context of photos as well as maintain the essence of the quotes, stories, and histories printed in this book. These are the stories, in the writers' own words, of how they got into graffiti, and what affect this subculture, the loss of friends, and the discovery of art and the urban environment had on them. Every story and first-hand account in this volume was provided through in-person interviews and correspondence over the course of more than a year. It was important to provide a primary account of the graffiti writer's story, and each is included because it represents the experiences shared by a community of other writers.
About the DVD - "The History of Los Angeles Graffiti Art Volume 2, 1989-1994"
The DVD supplement further delves into the culture of Los Angeles graffiti with all of the features and elements of a full-length quality documentary. This DVD stands alone in terms of its up-close, all-access, personal and unbiased perspective of everything from illegal "bombing" to modern day sanctioned graffiti "productions." Like the book, this DVD supplement enables you to look deep into the archives and personal lives of a subculture that typically thrives on secrecy as it paradoxically aims for fame and ubiquity.
