Making It & Selling It is a new series that aims to
inform young, creative practitioners on how to jump start a career, by
providing practical information and invaluable advice on how to make
and sell their creative output. Sections will investigate tools and
materials, roots and influences, where and how to show work, case
studies of people “doing it,” and an extensive list of contacts and
resources. Each book in the series will showcase work from the most
influential practitioners from around the world.
Street Art plugs into the buzz surrounding this most
contemporary of art forms. Coming from the underground and influenced
by graffiti, graphic design, typography, comic books, and digital art,
street art is gaining a foothold in galleries and with serious
collectors. Many practitioners are self-taught, have highly developed
practical skills, unique and personal visual languages, and a burning
intent to be seen and heard. Street Art sets out to provide
relevant practical information, explaining various ways of creating
imagery, providing a list of contacts, peer-group case studies, and an
up to the minute review of the state of the art.
