STIK New book due on 30th July :-) :-), by tartarus on Feb 16, 2015 9:57:06 GMT 1, A new book on the way with tons of street pieces, and exploring his rise in the art scene along with the ethics and beliefs that drive his work.
Cant wait to see this finished, looks like its going to be a dam cool book!
With i would guess, a few guest photographer slots going to a few of you on here.
Synopsis
From the publishers behind Banksy's mega-selling Wall and Piece, comes the fully-illustrated, beautifully presented book by feted London street artist, STIK.
Stik first came to notoriety as an underground street artist who painted life-size stick figures during the night around Londonโs East End. As a firm believer in the right to protest, the freedom of speech, and basic human rights, Stik has now painted murals in cities, towns and villages all over the world, focusing his work in communities which have not been afraid to express themselves in the face of repression and disenfranchisement.
Having gained an international following, Stik credits his audience with the intelligence to fill in the details with just six lines and two dots to imply emotion. Each piece is a meditation.
This will be the first collected volume of his work to date, and alongside a whole host of original artwork, never-before-seen sketches and other rare ephemera, it will reveal the political and artistic inspiration behind the work of this brilliant and inspiring artist.

STIK New book due on 30th July :-) :-), by Matt on Feb 16, 2015 11:43:43 GMT 1, Liking the sound of this !
Whether or not you like his art, Stik is really one of those guys doing his thing with convictions that don't seem to waver with fame and the clink of champagne in over lit galleries...and that, in my book, is a thing to be celebrated .
EDIT : Due to poor timing it looks like I am liking the sound of L-Roy's ominous post. Let it be noted that I am not :-)
But since you bring it up L-Roy, in the case of an unfortunate event, do you have any wishes such as a Stik on your tomb / someone to spit on your tomb (spitting on tombs is a French thing, or as we say "cracher sur vos tombes)
