Street art - those unexpected jolts of beauty and mayhem that greet us in public places -- couldn't be hotter. Now photographer, Hank O'Neal (aka XCIA) praised by the New York times for his in-depth knowledge of "New York City's streets and it's celebrities" delivers the most beautiful selection of street art images ever amassed by a single photographer. For the past four decades, O'Neal has been photographing street art from around the globe--from the back alleys of New York City to the beaches of Venice, California; from Jim Morrison's grave in Paris to a section of the Berlin Wall. Featuring hundreds of gorgeously rendered, never-before published photos--from the art of Keith Haring and Richard Hambleton to that of Banksy and Shepard Fairey--XCIA's photographs deliver the ultimate street art experience.
