Discover "Sketch! Dalek" - A High-Quality Sketchbook for Graffiti Fans and Artists

Unleash your creativity with "Sketch! Dalek," a rare, high-quality sketchbook designed for graffiti fans, graphic designers, students inspired by street art, and anyone who loves street art books. This sketchbook features the iconic work of James Marshall, better known as Dalek, an American painter famous for his Space Monkey character.

James Marshall's journey is as unique as his art. Born in New London, Connecticut, to a military family, he moved frequently, finishing high school in Japan and living briefly in Hawaii before returning to the mainland. Influenced by the subcultures of graffiti, punk rock, and skateboarding, he earned a BA in Sociology and Anthropology from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1992 and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago in 1995.

Dalek's Space Monkey, first rendered on a wall in Connecticut in 1995, evolved from his love for Japanese pop culture, punk scene vibes, street art, and cartoons. The Space Monkey, which Dalek insists is actually a mouse, symbolizes a human lost in a sea of technology and convenience. Through this character, Dalek expresses his emotions, ideas, and concerns.

Perfect for young graffiti enthusiasts and aspiring artists, "Sketch! Dalek" is not just a sketchbook; it's a canvas for your imagination, inspired by one of the most influential street artists of our time. Don't miss the chance to explore your artistic potential with this exceptional sketchbook.
