Street art is now a recognised art form that can be thought-provoking, compassionate, political, humorous or shocking. And although we are bombarded by words every day, it's somehow more appealing when these words are placed on the street by artists rather than advertisers. Urban Scrawl documents some of the world's most interesting street-art words and typography, from formal typography to angsty scrawl, presented in a small-format hardback thattsquo;s perfect for any gift or self-purchase. Photographer and street-art lover Lou Chamberlin has travelled from Warsaw to London, Tokyo to New York, Cape Town to Santiago, and within her home country of Australia, in search of the world's most intriguing street art. Her photographs capture these works at a moment in time, documenting and celebrating the ever-changing street art scene.
