Description: This unique, narrative-driven book gives an unparalleled insight into the tough, tight-knit, exciting world of street art as seen through the eyes of Darius and Downey, who have been working together since 2000. Through a series of blood-pumping adventures, it paints a vivid portrait of a creative but harsh environment of extremes - friendship and rivalry, respect and conflict, adversity and prosperity, and reveals the incredible risks that artists take to win their place in the graffiti hall of fame.
Ed Zipco, acute and empathetic commentator on the ways of the street, relates Darius and Downeys most memorable experiences. Along the way, we witness their artistic evolution from conventional graffiti tagging to ambitious street installations that are both wittily entertaining and strikingly subversive.
