PEEL: The Art of the Sticker by Dave & Holly Combs

PEEL: The Art of the Sticker by Dave & Holly Combs is due February 15th from the most excellent Mark Batty Publisher.

The book comes with an interesting backstory:

"Dave and Holly Combs traveled to New York City from Indianapolis, Indiana, to assist with Sept. 11 recovery efforts. While exploring Manhattan during their off hours, they were inspired by the wealth of stickers they saw all over the city. These stickers inspired the Combs couple to create the first street-art magazine to focus on stickers as an art form. PEEL gradually evolved from a black and white zine stuffed into plastic bags to a full-size, glossy, internationally distributed magazine…"

"Showcasing stickers, interviews and articles from the first eight issues of PEEL, this book celebrates the innovation and diversity of sticker and street art, including interviews with some of the scene’s legendary figures like Shepard Fairey and SEEN, along with profiles of international sticker communities, and sticker designs from artists across the globe. And of course, the book comes with stickers, 69 of them."
