Beautiful Losers

Every time I have come across the book "Beautiful Losers" in art book stores I get excited to page through it because its energy is so fresh. Reminds me that you don't need a $50,000 art school education to be be revolutionary in the art world. Its always the underdogs that make history after all. I just recently discovered there is a film that accompanies the book.
"Beautiful Losers is a feature documentary film celebrating the independent and D.I.Y. spirit that unified a loose-knit group of American artists who emerged from the underground youth subcultures of skateboarding, graffiti, punk rock and hip-hop. This documentary tells the story of how a group of outsiders with little or no formal training and almost no conception or interest of the inner workings of the art world ended up having an incredible impact on the worlds of art, fashion, music, film and pop culture."
