by Shuya Abe, Mohamadou Abdoul (Artist), Ibrahim Abdullah (Artist)

Dude. Packaged in a special coffee-bean burlap bag, this book represents the best of the best in Urban Street Style. We've all seen it--teenagers who use their skateboards, backpacks, arms, or sometimes train cars as canvases. Featured here is the work of some of the most innovative, young, street-stylish, avant-garde artists in Italy, including, Joe, Nico, Pane, Scarful, and Stand--members of the group, WhyStyle. These artists represent the new Pop Revolution. Propaganda is a colorful, fun, and concise presentation these artists--their art and their lifestyles, which are often inseparable. Through graffiti, graphics, youth, urban minorities, and corporate communication campaigns (such as those by Nike, Adidas, Calvin Klein, Diesel, and Puma), urban spaces and objects of everyday life become art. Propaganda features street-smart design, full-bleed color images, and two pages of stickers that you can use to adorn your possessions. Or yourself. Paperback, 7 x 10 in./96 pgs
