Hutch ๐ฌ๐ง Brighton Street Artist โข Stencil Art โข For Sale, by Peter Bengtsen on Aug 1, 2014 23:09:40 GMT 1, The SMS market this image will appeal to is very niche. However, I'm confident the print will generate some interest here.

What ever happened to WallKandy?, by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 30, 2014 19:34:43 GMT 1, Times change , people change , it was cool while it lasted. Reckon it probably won't make the books about the uk street art scene in years to come but hey some of the images may come from ic , I think , regardless .... And yeah a few of the oef , wk are here as well ..
My book includes research done on both Wallkandy and the OEF. Sadly both forums were taken down (in 2010 and 2011 respectively) and with them a lot of very interesting discussions and other material.

Photo from 2012 from London, England. A wall with work by many artists including Swoon in one of the most well-known alleys for street art enthusiasts in London.
A different version of this photo is also replicated in my book The Street Art World.

An Instagram photo from a while back when I was preparing books for a signing event at the opening of the Artscape street art festival in Malmรถ, Sweden. The event took place at Moderna Museet in Malmรถ and the festival gifted a book to each of the first 100 visitors.

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 18, 2014 21:25:49 GMT 1, I got my copy of Peter's book as well. It looks great and I'm sure reading it will be fun (and educational at the same time). Peter was the most helpful person one can imagine during the order process (I had a problem with the Paypal payment request but we got that solved very fast). And shipping was lightning fast too (not 2 days from payment to delivery in continental Europe). So if you are interested in some mindful comments and analysis of the current state of street art and if you didn't order your copy yet, what are you still waiting for?
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that the book arrived quickly and that you like it.

Share your Instagram photos, by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 17, 2014 12:17:11 GMT 1,
Photo from 2014 from Lisbon, Portugal. A Vhils mural spotted on the way from central Lisbon to Belรฉm where the artist currently has a large-scale show running. I climbed through a hole in a metal fence (and a bunch of wet weeds) to take this photo, and shortly after found myself being chased back out through the same hole by guard dogs. All in a day's work.

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 17, 2014 11:10:57 GMT 1, Book arrived today. Lovely, really looking forward to getting stuck into it, enjoyed the preface so far! Had a quick flick and came across quotes from @coach and @mikeydread already! Really?! Whoops. I hope I didn't say anything stupid, for a change.
Coach and @mikeydread are far from the only members quoted in the book.
When quoting forum members, I have been very conscious about how the quotes are used. Quotes have always been picked out as examples that illustrate wider points about the street art world that I wanted to make.

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 13, 2014 23:11:25 GMT 1, thought i'd chip in say how good this book is. i'm not all the way through it yet as there is a lot of bang for your buck. good to be able to pick up a book about street art and graffiti and soak in the well written and well researched word content rather than the usual page after page of pictures nabbed from other people's flickr accounts so synonymous with the usual street-art book-fare. great academic discourse throughout, but as peter says in his earlier post, very readable. also, i think that people on this forum in particular would be interested to read as there are quotes within the book from a lot of forum discussions here. highly recommended book. support independent publishing and distro and grab a copy direct from the author. you definitely won't be disappointed.
I really appreciate the support, thank you.
And thanks also for pointing out the inclusion of excerpts from discussions from the forums (this forum included). These play a central role in the book.
