Years ago a small battle between two intelligent and powerful races became a full-out war, spreading across the galaxy like a disease. Sides were chosen and planets destroyed. As the fighting continued, one side obtained an ancient power called the elements held by seven handpicked warriors. Together, the elements made them strong enough to stop armies. But their enemies started a new wave focused at coming at them until the side with the elements was destroyed. The surviving members of the seven warriors were captured after the elements were hidden. Their enemy extricated a small group of victors and took it upon themselves to create three clones from the blood of the defeated to find and obtain the lost power for their own purpose. This is the story of the clones and how they serve as they find out the events that led to their creation.

The birthplace of graffiti, New York City, has evolved into a global center for street art. Its public surfaces host a range of media from handmade stickers and wheatpastes to huge installations and murals. Artists from across the globe routinely travel to New York City to grace its walls as they refashion the city into one huge never-ending unofficial street art festival. Among these are such contemporary urban legends as D'Face, Banksy, Os Gemeos, Case, MaClaim, Invader, Stik and Faith 47. Street Art NYC showcases both sanctioned and unsanctioned works captured in the course of a transformative decade that saw the emergence of over a dozen distinctly engaging projects. The hugely popular Bushwick Collective, L.I.S.A Project NYC and Welling Court Mural Project are highlighted with introductory essays. Local community-based projects and festivals, as well as those responding to specific environmental and social issues, are also represented. Banksy's one month 2013 residency, Better Out than In is documented with words and images. And homage is paid to the legendary 5 Pointz graffiti and street art mecca. Street Art NYC is is a beautifully designed hardcover book. The full color photographs by Lord K2 captures the art in the city, printed on thick coated paper, and Lois Stavsky's text provides the context. This is the only book to spotlight the transformational decade that marked the shift from largely unsanctioned to widely curated street art throughout New York City's five boroughs. This book is a collaboration between Lord K2, an award-winning photographer and curator of the online Museum of Urban Art and Lois Stavsky, a noted street art documentarian and editor of the popular blog, Street Art NYC.
