Ride back in time on the colorful New York City subway line of the 1970s to 1990s; the graffiti years, when subway cars became rolling metal canvases for some of the most notorious and influential graffiti "writers" of all time. Explore the amazing array of art work from the 1970s, '80s and '90s transit system "graveyards," including the work of graffiti artists BLADE, GHOST, SENT, REAS, VEN, WOLF, and STRIDER, as well as many other talented "underdogs."

Lose yourself in the vast sewer networks that lie beneath the world's great cities - past and present.

Let detailed archival plans, maps and photographs guide you through these subterranean labyrinths - previously accessible only to their builders, engineers and, perhaps, the odd rogue explorer.

This execrable exploration traces the evolution of waste management from the ingenious infra-structures of the ancient world to the seeping cesspits and festering open sewers of the medieval period.

It investigates and celebrates the work of the civil engineers whose pioneering integrated sewer systems brought to a close the devastating cholera epidemics of the mid-19th century and continue to serve a vastly increased

Underground - Subway Systems Around the World

This is a playful search-and-find book of underground systems around the world. Die cut pages introduce the subways of 10 different cities. On the first page we see the exterior of the train, and are presented with fascinating facts and figures about the transport system. On the following die cut page, we find the inside of the train and the platform, bustling with activity.

On this busy page, young readers are invited to spot key items that are unique to the city in question; a pretzel, an I Love NY t-shirt and a Statue of Liberty headband on the New York subway, for example.

Perfect for train-obsessed children, but also for a wider audience, this book teaches young readers about transport and also about cultural signifiers of different cities around the world.

Uijung Kim’s busy, colourful illustrations have a manga-like sensibility that feels joyously contemporary.The cities included are: London, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Moscow, Beijing, Mexico City, Paris, Madrid and Sydney.

Taking Over was, for nearly 15 years, Italy's go-to underground graff zine, printed strictly in black and white because, when letters stand out, color becomes secondary.

As part of the Graffiti Books collection, this anthology honours Roberto Malpensa, aka Repo, a TO founder and true pioneer in the Italian graffiti scene.

From the hardcore xerographic prints of the early days to the more refined high-definition Offset editions, the mantra was always “Keeping it Real,” without compromise.

This book compiles the full collection from 2002 to 2015, initially distributed by hand and later through our Graffiti Mailorder.

It also includes an exclusive special edition dedicated to Repo, featuring the best of his work from 1994 to 2014.

The spark was struck when he was very young, captivated by the vision of the first halls of fame in Milan. Rae Martini, at the age of just 12 approaches graffiti writing and a few years later, thanks to an incomparable mix of passion and attitude, she will become one of the reference figures of the entire movement not only for the city itself, but for Italy.

This is the path of the writer Rax-E, later known as Rae, to become the Artist Rae Martini, with the same determination and perseverance that made him spend sleepless nights around the city, moving only the attention from trains and walls towards something different, the canvases, maintaining the binomial creation/destruction, a constant in the world of graffiti.

'24 Carat Dirt' is a monograph that mainly collects the background of Rae Martini, the starting point, but also the evolution that has brought his production to the galleries. We therefore find ample space for the original sketches, for bombings in the street, on the platforms of the Milan metro, for burners in the hall of fame and above all for trains, to end up with a selection of the most recent works. A linear path which, despite the change of media, maintains an undeniable stylistic coherence and constant growth, where the most sought-after lettering always finds its place.

A one-of-a-kind writer, with style in his blood.

Definitive.

528 pages of radical energy: ORGAZMA brings together the complete oeuvre of French writer and artist LOKISS for the first time – from his early wild-style pieces of the 1980s to digital works, sculptures, and installations. As a leading figure in the European graffiti avant-garde, LOKISS quickly transcended the boundaries of classic style writing and developed a powerful, independent visual language that oscillates between letter explosions and abstract composition.

The book documents four decades of artistic development—wild, political, raw, and futuristic. Featuring sketches, murals, video stills, objects, and rare archival material, each work is dated, revealing stylistic breaks and continuities. A candid foreword provides deep insights into LOKISS's drive and attitude.

Exclusively as a signed limited edition – hand-signed by LOKISS himself.
In May 2025, LOKISS also designed the legendary MOLOTOW TRAIN – a tribute to his roots and his influence on European graffiti culture.

The graffiti crews of Melbourne are peppered across a sprawling train network, defined by the suburbs and train lines that separate them. CI Crew (Criminally Insane) emerged in Melbourne’s southeast in the late 80s, and has been synonymous with graffiti along the Frankston line ever since.
