This truly global and visually stunning compendium showcases
some of the most breath-taking pieces of street art and graffiti
from around the world. Since its genesis on the East Coast of the
United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly
every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant
new styles. This unique atlas is the first truly geographical
survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new
voices, increased female representation and cities emerging as
street art hubs. Featuring specially commissioned works from major
graffiti and street art practitioners, it offers you an insider’s
view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience
it. Organized geographically, by continent and by city – from New
York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico
City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and
Madrid in Europe, Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, as well as
brand new chapters covering Africa and Asia – it profiles more
than 100 of today’s most important artists and features over 700
astonishing artworks. This beautifully illustrated book, produced
with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea
of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and
instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative
inscription upon the skin of the built environment.
For more than two decades, players have lead the zerg, protoss, and
terrans into battle for galactic dominance in StarCraft, StarCraft
II, and multiple campaign expansions. The Cinematic Art of
StarCraft offers a detailed view into the history and philosophy of
Blizzard's revolutionary cinematics team. Focusing on the craft and
storytelling of cinematics and filled with anecdotes from the
creators, The Cinematic Art of StarCraft gives fans a unique peek
into the cinematics that have wowed millions of fans across the
Koprulu sector.

A landmark exploration of the sold, stolen, and destroyed works of Banksy, perhaps one of the most famous and controversial living artists of our time.
A victim of his own success, Banksy is famous the world over and yet more famously disdainful of the spotlight, preferring to remain anonymous. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living artists in the world and to others a rogue vandal with a political agenda, Banksy has scandalized and enlightened the art world since his acts of guerrilla art began to appear on the streets of Barton Hill in Bristol over 25 years ago. However, this is a book about what you can’t see: the works that have disappeared entirely, whether removed by authorities or whisked into people’s private art collections to languish on walls or in collector’s vaults. These remarkable works are as elusive as their creator but are returned here for public consumption and enjoyment.
Works unveiled in Banksy’s Lost Works include a series of seven pieces painted on partially destroyed buildings around Kyiv, Ukraine, one of which has already been cut off the wall by a group of locals; Valentine’s Day Mascara in Margate that has now been restored and housed in Dreamland after several interventions by Thanet District Council; and Banksy’s disappearing rats, an early symbol of the artist routinely painted over by councils when the name Banksy was more synonymous with “vandal” than “artist.”
