Features: Graffiti originated in 1970s New York, USA, and is one of the four major elements of "Hip-Hop culture" (including street dance, DJing, etc.). It is a revolutionary new art wave in mainstream Western and Eastern art, with a profound impact on design and fashion. Graffiti can be traced back to prehistoric times, with human cave paintings left by early humans. Graffiti is a strong expression of thought and emotion, an absolute experience of pleasure. A Parisian graffiti artist once said, "Graffiti is an extremely joyful thing, a hundred times more joyful than a woman and a good meal." "Graffiti is freedom," the author says. This is a set of three personal graffiti sketchbooks. It is the first youth graffiti works collection introduced in China. Each book contains 200 independent graffiti and a small story of about 35 panels. It is indeed the result of the author's long-term creative efforts.
He Lixiu was born in 1981. He grew up in the mountains and spent his youth in Beijing, with graffiti permeating his life journey. He is also a well-known "knight" who publishes graffiti works online and has a following. His style, apart from the artistic characteristics of contemporary graffiti, is notably marked by the hard-hitting expressionism of the northern personality. The text in his graffiti carries intellectual and literary depth, and along with his detailed narration, it reveals a youthful world of passion and clarity—his thoughts, experiences, emotions, and imagination. He offers us an internal, derivative image. Each book also contains a "tearful (wise)" type of small story.
The author He Lixiu was born in 1981, growing up in the mountains and spending his youth in Beijing. Graffiti has been intertwined with his life journey, and he is also a renowned "knight" who publishes graffiti works online and has a large following. The author's career progression includes animation concept art, director, visual design, and brand clothing logo and T-shirt imagery. Her and His World is the author's "writing" about a romantic experience, a recollection, comfort, and tribute to the pain of youth. "The heavens must have played a joke, placing us in such a dark, remote, cold, and damp little train station, with only the two of us." The theme of this book is "love," and I still know very little about this word. Perhaps it will take a lifetime to comprehend it." The included small story is Searching for the Flower in the Heart.
