Phil Frost Book Is Out

Eccentric vandal turned contemporary artist Phil Frost has a new art book out. He’s one of the few artists who’s been able to successfully parlay his “high evolved form of tagging” and transform it into a signature style of art that’s highly recognizable and all his own. Frost describes his work as thus: “I believe [my work] is indigenous to myself. I believe that within every person there is an indigenous expression of themselves.” Sure, whatever you say Phil. The 162 page book features numerous full color images of the artist’s work and of course, the obligatory essay by Carlo McCormick as well as some words by artistic mystery man Pushead. $29.70, www.amazon.com
