Self-taught French artist Benoit Ollive is out with a new book, and it’s a little… different. I could explain first, but they say a picture’s worth a thousand words, so let’s show you instead:

Here’s how Ollive explains it himself:

Graffiti is often misunderstood, and it is difficult for a graffiti writer to explain what he feels about it. I have been asked by a book publisher to write few pages to explain to teenagers how to practice graffiti. After hours and hours I came to the conclusion there was nothing to teach about it except providing the tool to do it. The new generation needs to discover it by practising it instead of reading lessons. Rather than a long sterile speech debating on the good or bad vertues I created my own book to share my point of view through a conceptual message.

There are some more great, artsy pictures on his page, so check it out for yourself here.
