Whether sculpted in steel, scrawled on walls or executed as Sketches graffiti is a huge and growing phenomenon. Represented in this book are not so much the finished pieces of art that ultimately make their way onto walls or other outside surfaces, but rather the 'art' that; precedes this: the art of the coveted Blackbook. Some are no more than sketches or plans with all their strenghts and weaknesses, while others are complex finished works of art. The objective of this book is to show how the creation of graffiti evolves from quick illustrations of thoughts and ideas through a process of trial and error to arrive at the final 'style'. Because many writers guard their Blackbooks closely this book provides a rare opportunity to study the raw talent of some of the world's most famous graffiti artists, past and present.

For four remarkably productive years, the graffiti loving and street art affiliated “storytellers,” Hera and Akut, have combined their artistic skills and individual specialties in order to create one odd but always exquisitely beautiful, instantly recognizable style: Herakut.
It’s an extremely contradictory mix of ingredients — Akut’s autodidactic but top-level photorealism and Hera’s classically educated though Don’t-Give-A-Shit-roughness — that results in a surprisingly well-balanced fusion of respect for each other’s qualities and the shared urge to capture life’s anecdotes with brush and spray can.
For the first time this book explores the interpersonal and creative processes behind the duo’s murals and canvas paintings, which have attracted the attention of the international art scene.
