Street Art Cookbook aims to do it all. It claims to be "the complete do-it-yourself guide to street art." I was excited to see a book that helps aspiring street artists with their desires to create art in public spaces. But can it really do it all?

Street Art Cookbook is a nice hardcover and is compact. As soon as I got it, I delved right into reading it. I was very impressed. It covers a lot! You get instructions on how to make posters and also your own paste for wheat pasting. It discusses the right way of creating stencils from start to finish. It shows you how to do screen printing, make your own stickers and even how to make your own markers.
Not only does each section have instructions and visuals (i.e., pictures of stencils), it also has commentaries from street artists involved in that medium. Street artists from around the world, including France, Brazil, Sweden and the United States, share their insights. This book is made by street artists for street artists.
The book delivers as promised. You can pick up Street Art Cookbook on Amazon
