Graffiti is a constantly evolving form and throughout its history, it’s reached beyond the foundation itself. Whether it’s street art or graffiti canvases, eventually it enters new realms that incorporate people and styles that are not directly related to those roots. Calligraffiti, or urban calligraphy, is the newest movement—a fresh wave bringing various calligraphy styles to public walls and large canvases, blending them with graffiti and rolling it all into a new whole. To celebrate this global community and highlight its history, German artists Patrick Hartl and Christian Hundertmark have put together the new book, The Art of Writing Your Name. Through interviews and photographs, it features dozens of artists exploring a fresh landscape of mediums and techniques of large scale lettering. Just to name a few of them, JonOne, Niels Shoe Meulman, Faust, Egs, Luca Bean Barcellona, Saber, Usugrow among many others.

The Art of Rebellion 4 - Masterpieces of Urban Art is the newest chapter of the well-known bestseller series. Author Christian Hundertmark (C100), who is an urban artist himself and respected among the featured artists, provides an insight into the worldwide urban art scene. The concept of this book differs from the broad mass of street art books, as each artist was asked to only send in his personal, very favourite work as well as a text that explains why the particular piece was chosen and what the story behind it is. A lot of big names in Graffiti, such as Nug, Egs, Dmote, Delta, Zedz or HoNet, are featured alongside famous street artists such as The London Police, El Tono, Nuria Mora, Dave Kinsey, SpY or Slinkachu.

Sigi von Koeding aka DARE is a true legend. His 3D-Style is unique and is held in high esteem within the graffiti scene, even so many years after his death in 2010. This is also why it's no surprise that there are some graffiti in Basel, his hometown, which haven't been repainted since 25 years! The book DARE to be different is one of the biggest collections of his European work - from scetches to large-area graffiti - put into 250 pages. An absolute must-have for your bookshelf.

With Zombie Love by Won from the ABC crew finally comes a follow-up of the successful book Colour Kamikaze who has it all. While interest in zombies and other undead creatures has become mainstream through movies and media, Won has already begun more than a decade earlier to create his own zombie world. He works with an incredible attention to detail, which makes him inimitable. Chapter 1 is a versatile designed Zombie story, which is brought to life by using various techniques like photos, comics and classic drawings. The special feature here is probably that each image speaks for itself. If you like zombies, this book spreads more Zombie Love than all these mainstream zombie movies from Hollywood. In Chapter 2 - The Chronicles Won shows the best of his work: trains, tuk tuks, helicopters, murals, artwork , toys, drawings and canvases. A visual feast - but we have saved the best for last, as usual. Zombie Love is a must have for all fans of Wons style. But also for all other zombie fans!
