A rich source of inspiration for anyone interested in do-it-yourself culture.

Graffiti Cookbook is a guide to the materials and techniques used within today’s most creative and progressive art movement. In hundreds of pictures and illustrations and a dozen of interviews with some of the world’s most famous artists the authors show how graffiti is made.

From spray techniques and hand styles to tools and style analysis, Graffiti Cookbook takes us on a trip around the world in the search of the tricks and trades of graffiti writers. After hundreds of books filled with pictures of graffiti published in the last few years finally one is showing how the artists work.

Graffiti Cookbook is filled with tips and examples of how to create your own piece, tag and throw up. These techniques can be used on all kinds of materials, textile, glass, metal, concrete or wood. Graffiti Cookbook gives an unique insight in the alternative art world and is a rich inspiration source for those interested in do-it-yourself-culture.

Distinctive hand style lettering is an essential skill for artists and designers. Deftly executed hand crafted letter forms are a nearly forgotten art in an age of endless free fonts. Graffiti is one of the last reservoirs of highly refined, well practiced penmanship.

The most reviled and persecuted form of Graffiti, the Tag, is seldom appreciated for the raw beauty of its skeletal letter forms. Most tags are removed immediately, and thus the casual viewer seldom has a chance to discern the difference between entry level and advanced hand styles.

Within the pages of Flip the Script, author Christian Acker has systematically analyzed the best graffiti hand styles, contextualizing the work of graffiti writers from around the United States. Acker presents the various lettering samples in a clean organized format, giving the material a proper, formal treatment evoking classic typography books.

Vancouver SkyTrain Graffiti 2001–2007

Opened in 1986, Vancouver’s SkyTrain was a futuristic experiment in mass transit: clean, quiet, elevated, and fully automated.

Full Auto: Vancouver SkyTrain Graffiti, 2001–2007 documents how this system became a sustained and coveted target for graffiti writers during the first decade of the new millennium.

Featuring more than 120 rare and previously unpublished photographs, the book traces the evolution of transit painting in Vancouver, foregrounding both local innovators and the significant influence of visiting writers from Germany, Australia, Italy, and Denmark. Textual contributions from key figures of the era – including Samo, Idea, Kiff, Payes, Pubes, Main2, Mark4, Sancho, Kunt, Rels, Ese, and Skid – provide firsthand context and narration. 

The volume also includes a foreword by Fento, an interlude by Cecilia Terenzoni, and an afterword by Matthew Zaborniak. Together, these materials form a comprehensive record of a formative period in Vancouver’s graffiti history – one that has largely remained unseen until now.

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.
