Shirt Kings: Pioneers Of Hip Hop Fashion
29,90 €*
Incl. VAT plus Shipping Costs
he exiting story about how the street wear pioneers Shirt Kings created a style that would define hip hop culture in the 1980s and beyond. Jamaica, Queens, New York in the mid 1980s. Rappers, celebrities and hip hop fans came from all over the city to get their own customized T-shirt by the Shirt Kings. The style traveled all over the world through record covers and music videos, and the Shirt Kings designs soon became synonymous with hip hop and the culture of making something out of nothing. Shirt Kings: Pioneers of Hip Hop Fashion looks at the early days of street wear through the lens of the pioneering group of artistic entrepreneurs known as the Shirt Kings. By adapting the graffiti skills from the trains and spray cans to shirts and airbrush they created a new look for a new generation. Edwin Phade Sacasa is a founding artist of the group and it is through his archives that we are transported to the 1980s in New York City where the fashion was loud, colorful, and filled with cartoon imagery. But not just any cartoon imagery for the cartoons where urbanized. Mickey Mouse with a Fila suit, Casper the Friendly Ghost with gold teeth and Pink Panther with gold chains. People from across the city made their way to Jamaica, Queens to a small shopping mall known as the Coliseum where you could easily bump into the biggest names in hip hop of the day. From DJ Red Alert to LL Cool J to Big Daddy Kane to Mike Tyson – they all had to have their Shirt Kings designs. Shirt Kings: Pioneers of Hip Hop Fashion chronicles the art, the styles, and the people who where loyal supporters of the Shirt Kings, and takes us on a trip down memory lane to when customization and art reigned supreme in New York City. After the hardcover has been sold out for years, just in time for Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary comes another chance to take part of the Shirt Kings’ inspiring history as pioneers of hip hop and street wear in this beautiful soft cover edition. “Shirt Kings brought the hip hop element into the clothes for real and integrated it, and it was the first time I saw hip hop culture completely merged with clothing.” — LL Cool J “The Shirt Kings network was fashion TV of the times, and advertising and promotion way before it became trendy.” — Chuck D, Public Enemy ”Phade and the Shirt Kings are pioneers of hip hop fashion, also it is duly noted that the graffiti element has been elevated and made fashionable thru their airbrushing work.” – RZA ”Phade has been my go to guy since the eighties for all airbrush collabos!” – Dapper Dan Born in East New York, Brooklyn, Edwin Phade Sacasa founded the Shirt Kings in the mid 1980s, where he serviced many of todays Hip Hop stars and pioneers, such as Jay Z and Run DMC. Phade is working with youth in the inner city and have developed a program that teaches urban fashion through art therapy and entrepreneur skills. Alain KET is an artist, photographer, author, artistic consultant, marketing professional and frequent lecturer on the topic of graffiti.

Protecting Art In The Street: A Guide To Copyright In Street Art And Graffiti
3,74 €* 14,99 € -75%
Incl. VAT plus Shipping Costs
There has recently been a sharp increase in cases where corporations have been sued by street and graffiti artists because their artworks had been used and exploited without the artists’ authorisation, for example in advertising campaigns, as backdrops in promotional videos, or as decorating elements of products. This trend shows and confirms that these forms of art are vulnerable. They are actually more exposed to unauthorised exploitation (and destruction as well) than works of fine art, because they are placed in the public eye. Protecting Art in the Street explains, with words and images, how copyright laws apply to street art and graffiti, and how they can be of help to creators within these artistic communities. Knowledge about these issues does matter. There has recently been a spike in legal actions or complaints against corporations and individuals that have tried to exploit commercially street artworks without the artists’ consent; and more importantly without sharing with them any profit. Also, legal actions have been brought by street artists to fight destruction of their pieces. By adopting a simple language, Protecting Art in the Street constitutes an easy-tounderstand guide aimed at navigating street artists and graffiti writers through otherwise difficult and intricate legal issues concerning the protection of their artistic outputs.

Brain Food: A Daily Dose Of Creativity
14,25 €* 15,00 € -5%
Incl. VAT plus Shipping Costs
For something many of us love and admire, creativity is a wildly misunderstood thing. One big mistake is seeing creativity as something only a few of us are born with, while the rest of us just have to sit back and watch the special people have all the fun.
But that’s not true at all. Creativity is in all of us. And just like with anything else we’re all capable of, like speaking with animals or levitating or controlling the weather, it comes more naturally to some of us than others. Some of us just need a little more practice. The more we practice, the better we get. And the better we get, the more energizing and encouraging it all becomes.
We can learn to let our minds stumble down new paths, discover the unexpected, and express what we find in words or imagery or emotions, abstract or concrete, big or small. Along the way, we realize everything can be a creative act. Planning meals for the week or walking to work can be as expressive and fulfilling as writing a novel or painting a portrait.
The 365 challenges in this book are designed to help you find the many creative sides of yourself, whether you incorrectly think you aren’t creative or you’re already a creativity world champion (not a real thing) who could use a challenge. Take on one brief a day. Or binge them all. Or roll the dice and let fate decide. There is no right or wrong. The worst thing that can happen? You’ll discover new ways of being creative at work, at home, and everywhere else in your life.

Rockin' It Suckers – New York City's Most Wanted Graffiti Vandals

Incl. VAT plus Shipping Costs
After being out of print for years – Rockin’ it Suckers is back in a limited 10th Anniversary Edition!
A classic graffiti book is once agin available – with additional text and a new cover.
Some call it art, others vandalism. For the members of the infamous RIS crew the label doesn’t matter. Rockin’ it Suckers is the story of New York City’s infamous RIS-crew in their heyday.
New York in the late 80s: A city tormented by crack and violent crime. At the same time the golden age of hip hop was in full bloom, and despite the violence some found room for creativity.
At this time a group of kids got together to taste the last of the city’s painted subway trains, just in time to experience a new era in New York’s graffiti history — The authorities decided to clean up the city and a zero-tolerance policy towards graffiti was instituted. While many of the city’s graffiti writers quit, the RIS-crew was determined to keep the trains colorful and decided to wage their own war with the city. As a result, they took over New York with style, and along the way in uenced graffiti writers long way outside the five boroughs.
The crack down from the authorities didn’t only trigger the RIS-crew to write more, it also made them come up with faster techniques and develop their styles, all done with the crews’ characteristic arrogance and humorous touch. Soon they became one of the world’s most important and influential graffiti crews.
