Street Knowledge Reviews

Praise for King Adz's Previous Works:
Really great stuff. Quirky, idiosyncratic, but mostly it gave a great feel for the complexities of hip, webdriven urban culture. Eric Hansen, author of "Motorcycling with Mohammed"
Adz s volume succeeds as a visual travelogue of street art and cutting edge design. --"Publisher s Weekly"

?What makes the book most compelling is that, by virtue of placing the featured street art in the context of the cities where it appears, it doubles as an underground guide to the hottest art, culture, music, fashion, dining and film spots in some of the world's hippest cities.?--Brain Pickings Blog
?This book is a perfect coffee-table compendium of all that's cool out there in the global urban jungle, from Banksy to "Yo! MTV Raps," and then some. Illustrated lovingly throughout, this is a must-have for fans of street art and culture & its origins and a great guide to what has become one of the most important art forms to emerge from in recent years.?--Digital Slander Blog
?In "Street Knowledge, " [Adz] presents an A-to-Z guide to the form, capturing starts like Banksy and Obey in exclusive interviews, early pioneers, and related art forms, for hip-hop to fashion.? --"Zocalo Public Square"
?An encyclopedia of street culture for those who love Banksy or Irvine
