We are living in a golden age of self-expression. The explosion of user-created content on blogs and social networking sites moved Time magazine to name "You" their 2006 person of the year. But while we may be spending a lot more time in virtual worlds, we have not lost the urge to make our physical world more meaningful. By leaving art and ideas in public places, you can affect someone's day, change their mood or their mind, and maybe even change the world in the process!

The Guerilla Art Kit shows how small artistic acts can start a revolution. Keri Smith, noted author of Living Out Loud and the blog Wish Jar Journal, uses her unique drawing and handwriting style to help anyone find and release their inner artist or activist. This visually exciting activity book full of step-by-step exercises, cut-out projects, sticker ideas, and more has both fun assignments and handy tips to help you unleash your creative energy into the streets, where you can really make an impact. From the quick exercises leaving books for strangers to find, chalking quotes on the sidewalk to the more involved making a "wish tree," guerilla gardening, or making your own stencils. The Guerilla Art Kit contains everything you need to put your message out into the world.

Review

...a collection of step-by-step projects and idea-inducing tips for aspiring creatives and activists alike....Get ready to leave things way more interesting than you found them. -- Penescola Independent News, September 2007

"Some people join Greenpeace and throw themselves in front of assive whaling ships.. which is a good thing, but not all of us are destined to become committed social activists. Inspired by the philosophy that great change can begin with smal steps, The Guerilla Art Kit is about inventive ways to not only take a stand on issues about which you feel passionate, but also contribute to the world creatively." -- Frances Atkinson --Make It Yourself, August 4, 2007

"The Guerilla Art Kit shows how small artistic acts can start a revolution. Release your inner artist or activist using the step by step excersizes, cut out projects, sticker ideas and more." --Avenue Bookstore

"the untrained would-be Banksy will appreciate her clear instructions, cool illustrations, and handy list of books and websites for further reading." --Time Out Chicago, November 22, 2008

"the perfect gift for your socially concious, NoLogo-loving friend who is too polite to throw a trash can through the window of Starbucks. Smith never turns preachy as she explains hwo to transform your environment and get other people thinking with simple tools like chalk, wheat paste, yarn and found objects." -- RL --Time Out Chicago, November 22-28, 2007

"The Guerilla Art Kit contains everything you need to put your message out into the world. " --The Brunswick St. Bookstore, 2008

"The most apealing feature to this new work is its whimsical apearance. The small 6 x 7.5 manual looks as if the author has just finished asembling it with a particular reader in mind.... The thrill of anonymity and adding to the environment creatively is quite appealing." -- Beth Hemke Shapiro --Fore Word, December 1, 2007

"author-turned-guerilla artist Keri Smith describes a basic formula for a seed bomb that incldes two parts native seeds, three parts compost, five parts red or brown clay(find this at a ceramic supply store), and some water. Form together in a small penny-sized ball, dry for 24 to 48 hours, and drop at will. " --Whole Living, June, 2008

"The lay-flat hardcover binder format is perfect for a toolkit on making stickers, wheat paste, stencils and more lending to putting a message out in the world. It's all about using inexpensive and common materials to put one's message out: chapter provide simple illustrations and recipes for slogan stickers and more. A top pick for any DIY business or advertising student." --The Midwest Book Review

    This is an EXCELLENT book! Anxiously awaiting its arrival, I came home from work today to find it waiting for me on my doorstep. I sat down after dinner and read it cover to cover. This book is a great source of inspiration - it's filled to the brim with fun projects and informational overviews of what guerilla art is, finding that art within yourself and projects to begin stirring up creativity within yourself - whether you choose your art to be public or not. It will definitely help to brighten up your creative life.

    I’ve actually ordered three of these books because I use the, for my public art unit in one of the high school classes I teach. I’ve used the glossary as the foundation of the vocabulary for the unit. Even though we study tons of famous public artists, a lot of my students need some spark as they begin planning their own projects. This book helps with that a lot.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Wild and Unique
    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    I really didn't know what to expect with this book and so it is a great surprise to me to see that it actually encourages random, yet in a healthy, natural, non-crime sort of way, to do various activities to get others in our small little world to really think or react. Some activities are very pleasing to me - flower seed bombs - while others may give people pause if they came up on it in today's paranoid/terrorist world. Sad, but true. I do feel that the positive light in which it is written, projects recommended, and more is great. I just wish we all lived in the world where the author resides. Rather sad commentary, I know, but that is the way life is today. I think I had more fun reading it and imaging myself doing some of the guerilla art projects in my own conservative neighborhood. I will do the flower seed bombs with native plant seeds for boy, some areas of the city I live in could really use some bright purple flowers!! I already do this around my own yard and can say WOW for now my purple botanical natives are really showing some outstanding colorwork around my home, in places not normally flower friendly (earth-wise).

    So if you are wild at heart or really need a book to make you become this way - get this book. It is not for the conservatives or the paranoids out there.

    My daughter was so inspired by this book! She immediately got to work making all kinds of Guerrilla Art projects and got her friends involved, too. They call themselves the Guerrilla Girls. They've anonymously put inspiring messages in other kid's backpacks, created a wishing tree, and shared numerous uplifting quotes with chalk art. This is one of the best things I've ever given my daughter. She is spreading the love and being the change she wishes to see in the world. So proud.

    I bought this as a gift for my husband so he could use this book as a tool for inspiration when he's not feeling creative (or feeling stuck on a project). Even though we've both had extensive art training it doesn't hurt to have some refreshing fun ideas to work with to get your mind flowing again.

    This book (which is beautifully produced with a really effective spiral binding- why aren't all books you want to leave open at a page like this) is a set of playful, cheeky and inspiring art projects. They range from the straightforward to the more involved but they all come with clear instructions and they all will make you think. You will pick up this book at a random page, leaf through it and then want to go out and try something as soon as you put the book down. It is quite edgy in that does suggest making public art but it does stress a responsible attitude to working this way.
