Fucked Up + Photocopied: Instant Art of the Punk Rock Movement

by Bryan Ray Turcotte and Doug Woods

Book Overview

Raw, brazen and totally intense, Fucked Up + Photocopied is a collection of frenetic flyers produced for the American punk scene between 1977 and 1985.
Many were created by the musicians themselves and demonstrate the emphasis within the punk scene on individuality and the manic urge of its members to create things new.
Images were compiled out of whatever material could be found, often photocopied and, still warm, stapled to the nearest...

Excellent!!!!

Essential for the lovers of the 80's punk & hardcore movement...a must have also for art designers to understand their roots of gig art

amazing

An absolutely gorgeous book. Even if you don't [care] about punk rock, it would still be fascinating.This is also an exceptional historical document. The history of the margins is lost so easily -- a book like this does a tremendous service to posterity.As to the guy from SF who says that this book distorts history and gives "unnatural significance to marginal bands..." Well, it probably does, and so what??!! [....]

An Important and Well Designed Document

I have been involved in the punk scene since 1978 and this book really captures the art, the energy and the feelings of punk. No book could cover everything but I swear this book has fliers from every significant band and scene in it. I especially enjoyed the short articles and poems from punks in each scene. If you are interested at all buy this book.

punk at its best

As a poster artist myself I found this book to be a great asset. With all the computer generated art out today its great to see some hands on work.With a lot of style and attitude this was punk!

This is the best Punk Rock Book I've ever Seen!!!!!

The author of this book has put together the greatest collection of Punk Rock Photos and quotes ever to hit the Punk movement.....I was very impressed...
