This book introduces a menagerie of charming paper animals. Each animal is built on simple shapes any child can master in moments and will lead to hours of pleasure and play.

Animal Origami follows the "unit origami" method. You simply make several basic units--the "boat," the "house," the "boot"--then assemble the finished units, like building blocks.

All the popular animals put in an appearance. Such perennial favorites as dogs and penguins are joined by more inventive versions of the elephant, lion, and kangaroo.

As in our long-selling Origami for Parties and Origami for Christmas, high-quality photographs accompany the instructions and suggest ways in which the origami can be used for decoration or play, guaranteeing long-lasting entertainment for children, their parents, and enthusiastic hobbyists.

Includes 56 sheets of folding paper.

What graffiti says about contemporary society, and why it demands our urgent attention as a form of civic expression.

What graffiti says about contemporary society, and why it demands our urgent attention as a form of civic expression.

What is graffiti—vandalism, ornament, art? What if, rather than any of those things, we thought of graffiti as a monument? How would that change our understanding of graffiti, and, in turn, our understanding of monument? In Monumental Graffiti, anthropologist Rafael Schacter focuses on the material, communicative, and contextual aspects of these two forms of material culture to provide a timely perspective on public art, citizenship, and the city today. He applies monument as a lens to understand graffiti and graffiti as a lens to comprehend monument, challenging us to consider what the appropriate monument for our contemporary world could be.

Monumental Graffiti unpacks today’s iconoclastic moment, showing us why graffiti demands our urgent attention as a form of expression that challenges power structures by questioning whose voices are included in—and whose are excluded from—public space. Written from 20 years of embedded research on graffiti, the book includes works from graffiti writers such as 10Foot, Delta, Egs, Honet, Mosa, Petro, Revok, and Wombat, alongside those of artists such as Francis Alÿs, Jeremy Deller, Thomas Hirschhorn, Jenny Holzer, Klara Liden, Gordan Matta-Clark, William Pope. L, Cy Twombly, and many more.

Richly illustrated, this study of graffiti as monument and monument as graffiti is as fascinating as it is ethnographically expansive.

POST GRAFFITI

"We're bringing graffiti to the people again" wrote Code on a delivery van in the summer of 2023, highlighting exactly the trend that he set together with Moses and Taps, Otis, Futo and Thunder. A wave of no-longer-all-yellow delivery vans that first spilled over from Hamburg to Berlin and Dortmund and then spread throughout the country.

POST GRAFFITI - SIMPLY DELIVERED illustrates the cornerstone of the exciting development of graffiti on delivery vans.

On 320 pages with photos by Edward Nightingale and Emmett Edelstein, among others, the book shows how graffiti was able to reinvent itself and still remain true to itself.

Scene of Crime provides an unprecedented viewpoint on subway graffiti through images and documents produced by the Toronto Transit Commission’s security personnel.

This book unveils a hidden institutional archive filled with incident reports and evidentiary photographs, offering a rare glimpse into the intersection of graffiti, law enforcement, and bureaucracy.

Challenging conventional understandings of graf- fiti’s ephemerality, it reveals how photographs and texts extend graffiti’s lifespan while highlighting the complex dynamics between graffiti writers and the authorities who pursue them.
