WK Interact by Josh Rubin
WK Interact, the French urban artist based in NYC, has a new book out. Featuring his street, studio and commissioned work from the last 10 years, the book also includes some shots that reveal the depth of his creative process. Famous for his black and white painted murals of skaters, kung-fu masters boxers and mountain climbers, all of his work incorporates a unique and often eerie sense of motion. If you can't make it to downtown Manhattan to experience his murals first person, this book is a must have. Actually, it's a great one for the library regardless.
US$55 here.

Street World
The new project from Roger Gastman, Caleb Neelon and Anthony Smyrski, Street World: Urban Art and Culture from Five Continents, clocks in at nearly 400 pages of full-color images of all the street culture we knew we loved (graffiti, fashion, skateboarding, and so on) with plenty of more esoteric global happenings.

FTW-Crew: Berlin Photoshop Graffiti
Writers from the FTW-Crew (Mr. Tailon, Baveux Prod., Kone and Epoxy) were recently spotted altering posters of Britney Spears, Leona Lewis, and Christina Aguilera in the Berlin metro. In a clever form of adbusting, they superimposed the Photoshop steps it takes to make the ladies look so picture perfect, both a lesson in design and a gentle reminder of our urban airbrushed landscape....

Wild Style: DVD and Book Giveaway
Wooden acting and choppy production quality aside (we think it's part of its charm), when "Wild Style" was produced in 1982 the movie-going public was barely aware of the burgeoning hip hop scene sprouting up in the decaying urban centers that had been abandoned by the comfortable classes in the previous decade. “Nothing else comes close to capturing the atmosphere of the early days...

Dumbo: Acts of Vandalism and Stories of Love
Word on the street is that the prolific graffiti artist Dumbo had to leave Milan for Brooklyn at the risk of arrest. The writer's tag dots lower Manhattan, around Canal on West Broadway, but in Milan it seems like he hit every single building. His recent book documents his life as a vandal, including his tags, art, actions and the like, featuring an intro...
