"From Mumbai to Chennai and from Kochi to Karachi, from the humble sign writer to the blue-chip advertising agency, the creative industries of India entice and inform a population of over one billion. In this crowded, colorful world, innovation is often born of necessity and scant resources, and can result in the very clever or the completely ridiculous. The most exciting graphic work has been singled out by the keen eye of Keith Lovegrove on his journey through India. He lovingly documents a wide range of vernacular graphics and commercial art from the personalized bodywork of vehicles to advertising hoardings; from political posters to lavish Bollywood publicity." --book description

"After thirty years of taking photographs of street art / graffiti, compiling a collection of several thousand works of this type of art, I decided to produce this book, and to make it totally different than any other book on street art / graffitti done before. That is why it features interesting representatiional images, beautiful murals, rather than "tags", and may not appeal to hard core graffiti fans. However, it contains the most beautiful, most interesting wall images ever published." -- Bob Edelson, author Scrawl: Dirty Graphics & Strange Characters

Sensacional: Mexican Street Graphics is the definitive collection of these outrageous, vivid, exuberant, and downright beautiful images that so often define public space south of the border." --book description
