IT’S A STICK-UP Features Paste-ups by Brooklyn-based Artists Dain, Cake and 18 Other Global Masters of the Craft

June 11, 2013

A stand-out among the street art books published this year is the brilliantly conceived and curated It’s a Stick-Up, designed by Oliver Walker aka Ollystudio with text by Margherita Dessanay. Published by Laurence King, it is devoted solely to the art of the wheat paste, featuring 20 real — easily removable — paste-ups by 20 international artists. Among those featured are two of our favorite Brooklyn-based artists: Dain and Cake.

I came upon it — by chance — at Strand last week! I don’t know if there are anymore left. But St. Marks Bookstore should have it.
