I went to a very small book launch last night. Sheffield Street Art is a set of images by Hedley Bishop and Jim Lambert. I believe it is possible to purchase it on Ebay but I can't find it. I suggest if you would like to purchase it (£5), you follow the link and leave a comment.
I am impressed by the amount of street art that's around us in Sheffield. Perhaps the best known street artist in Sheffield is Kid Acne (bottom left above), who has an exhibition currently at the Millenium Galleries. (On until 23 October upon which date this link will presumably die.)
My favourite artist is Phlegm (top left above) who has a fantastic piece of work not far from where I live at Riverside. This can be found on a website called Sheffield Street Art, which just to confuse everyone has nothing to do with the book and although it features some of the same artists covers mostly different works.
The book was expensive to produce and so won't make much money. The authors are hoping to use the proceeds for a future 'Pictures of Sheffield Old and New' publication and they hope the proceeds from that will be substantial enough to go to the Alzheimers Society.
I found something simular on ebay by Jim lambert. thanks for the information on Street Art great article.
