So how lucky are we that Melbourne is considered right at the top of the game? Not only do we have some phenomenal local artists, we also attract some of the world's premium examples of this very controversial medium. Names like Psalm, Phibs, Sixten, Meek, Rone, Prism, Sync, Meggs, and Banksy are just some of the high-profile underground that we attract to our humble little cities and Melbourne stands out from them all.
Whilst certainly not unique, the approach of this book seems to stand by itself in a time where graffiti-dedicated journals seem to reign in the halls of chain bookstores and online depositories (nb. amazon.com). By breaking the chapters into various content-related categories, SGC:M allows an insight that can otherwise be easily lost in the multitude of attention seeking bullshit that adorns our public places.
Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne retails for $55.00 AUD, and can be purchased through www.stencilgraffiticapital.com.
