Dear Santa,
Please let people know they can get one of the most unique gifts on the planet for the people they love—a copy of my book. Tell them why it is a great gift for anyone that loves art, is into street art, loves artful books, or the life-long student types willing to learn anything about anything; tell them they can both reward their curiosity and get kudos for giving the coolest gift ever for just $60 (you can also order it on a payment plan!)
Santa, tell the person who ends up with a copy of this rare, full-color, hardcover, large-format gem of a book that for the past thirteen years, I have devoted my life to organizing, promoting, advocating for (and once creating) murals, public art/street art, and graffiti on my free time while forging a career as a creative placemaking specialist. I believe that all problems have solutions, but that could be my degree in math speaking. As an urbanist, I also think that there is no city problem that a room full of artists can’t solve. Great cities are great because they have great artists. But that might just be the artist in me speaking.
🎄Santa, let’s tell the story to anyone who will listen on why I wrote the book. “Write the book you want to read” is one of many reasons. I was teaching at the college level and ”you have to be published” is another. Almost all books on the subject matter are picture books that leave out the most important part, the story and meaning. The streets and its culture, its art —-is up to its eyes in meaning. I wanted to write a book that didn’t just show pictures, that told the story and shared the meaning of the colors, of the characters, of each line and mark. The list goes on but when you get this book you will feel moved. You will feel inspired. You absolutely will learn something, not just about the difference between the three art forms (murals, street art and graffiti) but about yourself too—I designed it that way.
Thank you for your support,
💚❤️Kady
