'This is a visually stimulating introduction to stencils, spraypaint and public space.'
Florence Wright, Aesthetica
'Celebrating the art of stencilling, Stencil Republic by Ollystudio features 20 stencils by 20 artists, which can be cut out and used - go on, make an artist of yourself! If you're not in any way creative, then this unique book will surely double up as great coffee table material to treasure and show visitors.'
Beautiful Crime
'Ever fancied yourself as a bit of a street-art rebel, but don't quite have the nerve? Handy with a spray can, but nowhere to use it? The new Stencil Republic book, by London-based creative studio Ollystudio's Oliver Walker may be able to help. Street artist AIKO says, 'This is something you cannot learn at school ... you have to feel it, jump in, don't stop and have fun'. And so with these words ringing in our ear ... we're gleefully 'graffing' all over the cover of our A4 diary. Gosh, we're ever so street here.' Emily Gosling, Design Week
