Crack & Shine : London's First Graffiti Book

Graffiti is perpetually and increasingly a controversial subject, dividing opinion and rousing powerful debate, yet almost nothing is known about the true motivations and inspirations of the artists themselves, Crack and Shine offers exclusive insight into this thriving contemporary sub-culture, gaining access to the personal stories of some of the most secretive, enigmatic and creative individuals to lurk in London's shadows.

Featuring forty of the most exciting and prolific graffiti artists to have lived and painted in London, Crack and Shine is the only London Graffiti Book ever to be published. Through in-depth interviews and detailed personal accounts, Crack and Shine gives a voice to these outlaw artists and reveals the diversity of a sub-culture frequently stereotyped and scapegoated by the media.
