A great new book called Cholo Writing: Latino Gang Graffiti in Los Angeles has come out by 3 of my favorite people. I have had extensive conversations with Chaz Bojorquez (who wrote the forward), Francois Chastanet (who authored the endeavor) and Howard Gribble (who has the most amazing collection of photos from the golden era) over the last several years, and they all have an appreciation for graffiti and letterforms, and even the often overlooked influence gang culture has played in its development over the years. I can’t wait to get a copy of this book. Congrats to all who had a hand in it.
