This is the best book on street art I've ever seen. It has numerous artists with an array of different styles. It gives you a little bio on every artist and each page has tons of images of inspiring work. The artwork in this book is just crazy. These artists have imaginations like no other combining the figurative with the abstract. I feel inspired to draw every time I look at it.
Mostly the book features sketch work (if you didn't get that from the title), which I feel can be an artist's greatest work because it shows the raw unadulterated ideas of the individual. You can really feel the energy in these sketches and the playfulness of each artist exploring their worlds.

Where to find this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Street-Sketchbook-Journals-International-Graffiti/dp/0811861384/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310252565&sr=8-1
Here's a link to the site that has links to the sites of all the artists:
http://www.streetsketchbook.com/index.html
This is a site for all artists and art enthusiasts. Here I will share info on artbooks of all kinds including the art of movie books, art instruction, art philosophy, comic books, compilations, specific artists, and more. I will be giving a quick review on the book, perhaps an image or two, and some links to the artists and where you can purchase them.
I feel that it's necessary for an artist to build a visual vocabulary to look at other artists work as well as study their craft. That said, I hope you find this site helpful in your art endeavors.
Cheers!

Sorry for the crappy photos. You'll just have to live with it. I do...
