COUP D'ETAT
by Mike Giant
Mike Giant, Street wizard and urban Mau Mau, is one of the superstars of the urban art movement. Giant has achieved fame as a graffiti artist, illustrator, and tattooist. His signature style is made up of equal parts Mexican folk art and Japanese illustration.
After the amazing success of his book Muerte (of the Drago 36 Chambers series), here comes the new bestseller by one of the most famous tattoo artists who evolved toward fine art, graffiti, and pop culture. Mike Giant's style shows a new side in this book, published on the occasion of his exhibition in the Magda Danysz Gallery in paris, together with his friend Dalek. In this book Mike Giant's new artworks are combined with his new passion -- photography. The urban art movement is the only avant-garde movement of today's world that reflects the leading global pop imagination connecting street and internet. Mike Giant created a global network that refelcts the taste of the street with the finesse of fine art.
Born in New York and currently based in Albuquerque, Mike Giant, a graffiti and tattoo artist, is also the design mind behind clothing line REBEL8, and has shown his artwork in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver, and many other international venues.
