Londonstani

Graffiti stencil, meet book cover. Book cover, graffiti stencil.
Surprised there's not more of this. Or maybe there is, and I haven't seen it.
Either way, love this.

I love it too. Then again I would, I designed it

Don't understand what the cover has to do with the book, seems like a very simple stencil design so what is all the fuss about?

It actually looks a lot like the spray painted stencilled tigers that the recording artist known as M.I.A. does (real name Maya Arulpragasam). She started out as a visual artist, and her video for the song "Galang" features a lot of these type of images.
