I found these books that gives us a glimpse of the process of graffiti artist from around the world. Both by Tristan Manco- the first book is called Street Sketchbook: Inside the Journals of International Street and Graffiti Artists (2007) and the recently released Street Sketchbook Journeys.
Street Sketchbook Journeys takes us from the Flavelas in Brazil to the back alleys in Tokyo covering a variety of styles from the idea born in a sketchbook to the process and the ultimate installation unveiled in urban settings.
These books are beautifully designed, comprehensive thick 227 page pieces of art work themselves.
Do you have a favorite Graffiti Art book?

I don't have a book but I think my daughter would love one. We both photograph graffiti when we travel. The most memorable one I saw was in New York back in the eighties. I think she said hers was in Romania.
I don't have one, but find this art to be amazing. Thanks for the tip on the books.
cool! I am also a fan of graffiti art, however, I dont own a book on it...
Wow, these are incredible graffiti books. I don't have a favorite but my favorite place to see graffiti is Iceland. It's just outstanding.
Thanks for the tip. You should watch Exit Through The Gift Shop (2010) - a movie by Banksy.
I think I'd mentioned already to you. Do I repeat myself too often? But I cannot help it :-)
