Advice for an Urban art N00b :), by wahman on Jan 25, 2010 12:36:01 GMT 1, hi all,
i am new to these boards although i have been an admirer of banksy and blek since i have been in uni (about 7 years) so i am quite new, i have never really investigated deeply into street art and the history etc but i have been on this forum the past few weeks trying to learn as much as possible.
i was wondering if there are any good books any of you would reccommend where i could learn a little more about the history of urban art and/or if there are any films about the subject worth getting my hands on?
my goal one day is to have a banksy print hanging on my wall and now i am working i hope to be able to afford one!!
i recently bought this from Ben Slow on these fourms, picked it up from the framers on saturday and i am dead pleased!
any advice would be appreciated to help me learn more about this subject as it fascinates me!
thanks
iain

Bomb it and style wars are a couple of good movies, they just a few off the top of my head...ill add more when I get the chance.

Advice for an Urban art N00b :), by Wearology on Jan 25, 2010 14:14:20 GMT 1, Get the book Wall & Piece by Banksy - that should be a good beginning
and if you are still in University than buy a CD by Roger Waters called "Amused to Death"
and become a Rastafarian for a day.
