This giant coffee table book explores the artworkof ABOVE, the prolific anonymous street artist whohas thrown up art in over 90 cities in 60 differentcountries. ABOVE got his start tagging freighttrains in California in 1995 and has been creatingpublic art ever since. Designed as a giant passportalbum / scrapbook / manifesto by Blaine Fontana,this title is both a beautiful street art volume and avirtual journey around the world through the eyesof one man, and is packed with hundreds of fullcolorplates accompanied by insight by those whoknow ABOVE or are just awed by him. ABOVE is wellknown for his large scale playful typographic murals( By the time you read this, I'll already be gone ),multi-layer stencils, and wooden arrows paintedwith words and then placed pointing upward inthe urban landscape. These pieces subtly alter everydaypaths, jolting people out of their routinesand causing them instead to look up and focus onwhat may have otherwise been overlooked. Above- Passport is a gorgeous testament to street art'sability to function as a challenge, ideal, and positiveimpact in society. The Karma Police are notcoming for ABOVE eve
