New Street art book - Photos Needed, by pezlow on Jun 24, 2008 9:28:13 GMT 1, Here is a message that an old forum friend asked me to post on his behalf. Hope some of you can help out with this exciting project.

Thought it worth mentioning a book project that I'm working on as it requires a bit of audience participation.

The book will feature interviews with artists, galleries, auction houses and others involved in what we can loosely term "street art", allowing them to express their opinions on different issues including the commercial side of the scene. The responses have revealed some amusing as well as interesting insights.

A separate chapter will illustrate examples of the final indoor product, which are the framed pictures that hang on our walls. It will show how others have framed and hung their pictures, and also give the artists an idea of what has happened to their art. This is where I need some more input from yourselves. Although I already have nearly 200 pictures for this chapter, there is always room for more quality images. If you therefore have a picture hanging (no portfolio jobs please) and you'd like it to feature in the book, please feel free to email it to me. All I would ask is that it is a high resolution picture, free from reflection and that you shoot it as you'd like it to appear in the book. Please do not send me any Banksy pictures as I already have a sufficient number of images by this artist. Pictures of any artists' work with links to street art will be great though.

I have included two examples of the sort of photo that I am referring to. One shows a room shot and the other shows a flat photo of the picture. Both of these types of picture will do the job.





Without wishing to spoil the surprise by revealing the full list of those participating in the book, the 25-30 artists interviewed include Blek Le Rat, Shepard Fairey, Eine, Nick Walker, Faile, Invader, Titi Freak, D*Face, Conor Harrington, and WK Interact.

There are two main publishers interested in the project. The book is almost complete, so if you intend to submit a picture, please try and get it emailed within the next week if possible.
