Description

Long before graffiti was once adopted as the visual expression of hip-hop culture within the 1980s, Chicano gang members in East Los Angeles had been developing stylized calligraphy and writing on walls. Cholo (gangster) scripts became the first distinctive letter forms to evolve within the up to date vernacular tradition of graffiti writing. Lately Los Angeles writers of diverse backgrounds draw from a unique confluence of cultures that has led to regionally distinctive styles.

Graffiti L.A. provides a comprehensive and visual history of graffiti in Los Angeles, in addition to an in-depth examination of the myriad styles and techniques used by writers Lately. Complementing the primary text, interviews with L.A.’s most prolific and infamous writers provide insight into the lives of these fugitive artists. Crucial to the working out of the development of the graffiti movement, this book might be an invaluable source to graffiti fans world wide.
