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.

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 1990's.
At the time, the most talented graffiti writers from the international scene join them on their missions. Among them, Risk (Finland), Stone (France), Remo (Switzerland), Math (Netherlands), Nesh (Austria), Choc (Belgium), Ruzd (Germany), and Aone (USA)… All passed away at the height of their passion.
In Painted Graves Volume 2, Olivier Scuro keeps digging into graffiti archives and pays tribute to friends lost too soon: travels, flashbacks, and the quest that comes to an end.
Most of these trains—painted or not—have now disappeared as well.
