If you're interested in street art, and you'd like to learn a little more about influences from outside Australia, here are some books you could check out that I've read personally:
1. Banksy: Wall and Piece
A really interesting insight of the works of Banksy, who is a British street artist with an international reputation. His art usually makes some kind of social comment, or just looks really awesome. It contains excellent documentation of some of his work, and Banksy himself has commented on some of them.
2. Street Sketchbook: Journeys, by Tristan Manco
A wonderful compilation of numerous street artists' work from around the world, Street Sketchbook: Journeys shows a great peek into the creative process of artists that each have very unique styles.
3. Street Art from Around the World, by Garry Hunter
Another great compilation of works, but Garry also classifies the artists by their preferred medium, such as stencil, poster, paint and 3D/other media.
They're definitely worth checking out if you're interested in seeing the creative processes of artists on a global scale. Happy reading!
