2001. After a decade of railway graffiti, Opak and the SDK crew stop painting trains in France, caught up in the legal system.

Twelve years later, SNCF accelerates the scrapping of the country’s most beautiful trains and officially announces the death of the famous “petits gris.”

That’s the trigger—Opak goes on a quest to paint all these legendary trains one last time.

In the form of a logbook, Olivier Scuro reveals in the first volume of Painted Graves the details of this adventure and its origins in the 1990s, through numerous archive photos showcasing the works of Opak, Inxs, Honet, Pum, Fancie, Riot, Sime, Milk, Poes, Chill, Acid79, Skeme—to name just a few. A bit of urbex and adrenaline, some nostalgia... and above all, a lot of graffiti.

For 15 years the northern suburb of Craigie provided a place for graffiti writers to paint without fear of prosecution or persecution. For the first time in the suburbs history an attempt to document the stories, pieces and individuals that made the Craigie Walls an important place in West Australian graffiti culture has been made. Craigie Tales is a publication about a suburb, a site and a mural arts program regulated by the painters that took ownership of three local High School tennis court walls.

With insight, narratives and images collected from the painters that made Craigie a home to a subculture, Craigie Tales offers an experience in to (sub)urban folklore and transmits moments and movements that are privy to few. Providing an essential understanding to a code of conduct that would last for over a decade Craigie Tales celebrates the act of writing and a site that would define Perth's painting culture.

The Story of Peril & Paris

Australian Hip Hop & Graffiti Art 1984+

Erupting out of an electric 80s subculture, Peril & Paris claimed their rightful throne as kings of the Australian Hip Hop melting pot.

B-boys to the max, ambassadors of style, they were part of it all - the breakdancing, the music, the art - but most notably built their names as Melbourne's premier graffiti duo, producing countless masterpieces that cemented their legendary status.

Peril & Paris commanded the spotlight, yet deep underground they operated through secret identities, going twice as hard and doing more than most. Their supreme dedication to the game earned them an unshakeable Claim 2 Fame.

With a rich personal archive of over 600 images, Claim 2 Fame is the captivating story of Peril & Paris, a steadfast partnership and Australian Hip Hop & Graffiti Art legacy that inspired a generation in its wake.

Whole Car Poetry is a very special project, or rather, let's say that it is undoubtedly a unique work of its kind. It tells (through images) the unbridled passion for wholecars of a writer very well known in the Italian scene of graffiti on trains, Hepo.

The title of the book makes one think of poetry but perhaps it would be more representative to imagine these texts as a rap text without music, given the themes, the words and the world to which these lines are addressed. At a first glance this parallelism might seem far-fetched but it is instead of fundamental importance to be able to enjoy the writer in question. Among the writers that accompany Hepo in some of the photos of the many wholecar and wholetrain published we find Ciak, Humen, Hekto and others. The photos, needless to say, are really beautiful. From the texts you can recognise an uncommon talent.

Intro signed by Trota and Danno of Colle der Fomento. A beautiful book at a very honest price. Recommended!

20 years of street photography and bombing from Copenhagen, Denmark. 132 pages of tags and throw-ups from the Danish capital, presented in a black-and-white pocket-sized book. The monochrome images reflect the raw expression of the tags, combining street photography with a punk vibe reminiscent of 90s fanzines.

Some of Denmark’s most well-known names are mixed with new young bombers in a wide variety of styles – from the cleanest tags to the dirtiest and most chaotic. Featured artists include Kegr, Tomcat, Rens, Birds, Moas, Raks, Feff, Jetset, Grape, Peach, Sabe, Cave, Ouze, Føte, Sleep, Helmet, Ond, Tvod, Lips, Snoph, Kmer, Beta, Teen, Black, Sazer, and many more.

The book is produced by TagsAndThrows, which started as an Instagram account in the early 2000s and has since become the world’s largest platform for documenting graffiti’s rawest form of expression – bombing: tags and throw-ups. TagsAndThrows has previously released two books and several bombing documentaries.

Introducing the new issue of the Stylefile Blackbook Sessions series, there is once again an update from the most diverse sketchbooks and desks in the scene. From simple studies to detailed full-pagers, whether analogue or digital, everything is included on 160 pages. For some, sketches are merely a necessity and a means to an end, while for others, they are an independent discipline in the field of graffiti. What all of them have in common, however, is that you have to deal intensively with the process of sketching in order to develop your own style. How wide the range of approaches is can be studied in this book. It provides exciting insights into the approaches of the most diverse types of writers. Insights that would remain hidden from most people even in the age of social media.

Sketches in graffiti have always existed. A white sheet of paper and a marker have been the starting point of every good style for years. In the beginning, sketches were only done with normal pens, but soon professional layout markers were part of the writer‘s basic equipment. This was then the measure of all things for decades, but in recent years, new possibilities have helped this genre take another relevant leap: With acrylic markers, it is now finally possible to work with opaque colors and no longer have to use only white paper as a background. But the leap from analogue to digital has also been made by now in the field of sketching in graffiti: Tools like Procreate have recently formed a completely new basis for a whole generation of writers to create works of art with letters. You can notice that for many writers, sketching has established itself over the years as a discipline of its own within the field of graffiti. Due to the expanded technical possibilities, the question of when a work can still be declared a sketch and where a canvas begins can no longer be answered with a clear distinction. For another part of the scene, however, sketches are still a necessity and a means to an end: to further develop one‘s own style or to have something for the next production on the wall or train. What all of them have in common, is that you have to deal intensively with the process of sketching. How wide the range of approaches is can be studied in this book. It provides exciting insights into the approaches of the most diverse types of writers. Insights that would remain hidden to most, even in the age of social media, and that we can now show to a large audience!
