Underground art - Read all about it or DIY

Think you could be the next Banksy? Well, first you need to know who you're up against and what kind of mischief they're up to.

For this you'll need art critic Francesca Gavin's new book Street Renegades - New Underground Art  - a post-Banksy bank of global street art, including work by the East End art collective Cut Up who reclaim billboards with pixelated images of ASBO yooves (like 'ere),   

and that of the Australian artist, Psalm (above).

(Note to aspiring street artists - get yourself a pseudonym.)

Then, with a little guidance from Keri Smith's  The Guerrilla Art Kit, you're ready to get out there and make your world more meaningful, change people's days, and confirm your own existence (guerrilla art for the office anyone? Guerrilla garden art?). But really, proper rebels shouldn't need guidebooks...

Good as art, but not very optimistic...

Thanks for this ... I think people should adopt this type of Art for their own outdoor spaces...NEW urban gardens are increasingly a place for this type of experiment !

Thx I will mention it on my blog!
