"Decades of artistic evolution on the streets of Austin, Texas have culminated in ATX Urban Art, a first-of-its-kind book showcasing the city's graffiti, street art, murals, and mosaics from the 1950s to today. Featuring 100+ local artists and 1000+ photos across 600+ pages, this book shines a spotlight on Austin artists at a time when the rapid growth of our city makes the preservation of the works from early pioneers and those carrying the torch today so important. Whether you know about these subcultures or not, ATX Urban Art will open your eyes to the depth of art in Austin and the urban artists behind the work. Each chapter includes an introduction to the artform, some historical notes, insights into the various styles, explanations of the vernacular, and most importantly, dozens of spreads for our featured artists. All four chapters will educate and inspire even the casual reader. Austin residents and visitors alike can gain a deeper understanding of the city as well as the visual artists and vandals behind the ever-evolving tapestry of urban art in our streets"-
