Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne, MBP’s first street-art
book, stands as a contemporary classic of the genre. During the first
few years of this century, Melbourne, Australia, was the global
epicenter of stencil graffiti, with artists like MEEK, SIXTEN, VEXTA,
and MEGGS cutting amazing stencils and getting them up all over the
city. The variety and abundance of the city’s scene attracted
international attention, especially after BANKSY paid a visit. This was
the first graffiti book to be published that focused on stencil
graffiti, and while many stencil-centric books have followed, it remains
the only one that documents a once prolific scene that will stand the
test of time.
