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.

The third and final volume of the trilogy DECADES – Graffiti in Berlin (Vol. 1 1990–2000 / Vol. 2 2000–2010), which presents 30 years of graffiti in Berlin, is now eagerly awaited. With a selection of thousands of photos, a comprehensive view of the development of the graffiti subculture in Berlin is created. In addition to the many illustrations, a large number of personal texts by the writers provide a unique insight into their experiences and perspectives. In these remarks, the developments of the last decade are described in very different ways and, through sometimes very personal remarks, the diversity but also the common ground of the Berlin graffiti writers are made tangible for the reader.
The third volume 2010–2020 contains portraits with many photos and personal texts on the following graffiti writers and crews:
ABIS, BOKS, DROW, IXAP, KGO, LION, JEICO, MATEZ, OLDI, ROCCO, SIEGER, TRASH, TRUS, QUIS, WILD // CLUBS, FB, HELL, OFF, RWRZ, SMS, TBA, TCK
There are also mixed chapters in the book, which show the development of many other graffiti writers and crews in this decade with hundreds of photos. Berlin's graffiti in the 10s was characterized by the influx of many writers from all parts of the world. Berlin has also developed into the place to be and a world metropolis, especially for graffiti on trains. This is largely due to the fact that painted subways ran more and more from 2010 onwards and at the end of the decade "the system was blown up". New techniques and competition among writers, which was stimulated even more by the visibility of the subway graffiti, increased the quality of the execution of the pieces. At the same time, the documentation of graffiti has increased immensely and gained in professionalism. Due to these many different sub-areas in the development history 2010–2020, there was an extremely large amount of material to process in the third volume, making it perhaps the most diverse edition of the DECADES series.

Get the Met: ‘How we Met’ Second Edition
An expanded and revised edition from the First.
Four Letter Press presents a sequel to the Australian design cult-classic publication, Get the Met, ‘How we Met’ Second Edition. Following on from the continued success of the first edition released in 2020, we gladly present to you a 300 page hardcover publication with four times the amount of content from the first edition. The chapters in the book include Early Periods of Melbourne Rail History, Brochures and Printed Material, train ticketing, the train models, railway branding and additional chapters such as staff uniforms and signage.
The book contains 100’s of exclusive images, some never seen by the public, now readily available for your viewing and book collection needs. Beginning the book off with classic black and white photographs of Flinders Street pre-electrification, textured film photos from ex-workshop staff member and private collector, Simon McArdle, a mix of film and crisp digital photos from a private collection of Chris McGregor and additional photographers noted from the previous edition.
The Second Edition has grown, now a generous 300mm x 300mm book size which is as big as a vinyl record cover! With a mind-blowing 300 page hardcover feature, this book is definitely going down in the ages.
The Second Edition aims to shed more light on the early periods of Melbourne rail, organisational and operational information about ‘The Met’ and revised details about the train model design descriptions. The author, Jourdan Sungkar, has spent 5 years since the first edition, researching Melbourne rail through hundreds of rail issued publications and reading material that has resulted in the culmination of this newly minted Second Edition, in what may be a life-long series of Melbourne rail history.
No book has covered such an extensive visual history of Melbourne rail. It will surely go up in price so think of it as an investment as well.
