Tony ”Rubin” Sjöman has become a staple of the street art scene of New York City and beyond. His abstract and geometrical pieces are rooted in traditional graffiti but break the rules of the craft with its muted color palette and Scandinavianly clean lines. The art book Rubin: New York / Scandinavia brings you inside his studio, into art galleries, and takes you on a journey to the streets of New York, marked by his large scale murals.
Rubin was nine years old when he wrote his first tag. The son of Finnish immigrant workers to Sweden he was raised in the working class housing projects of Bergsjön in Gothenburg, Sweden. Surrounded by grey concrete and tram tunnels, the walls whispered his name. He grabbed a spray can and set out on a journey that he’s still on today.
“Something happens when I press the cap and draw the first line of a piece. The expectation that takes hold of me is so strong that everything else around me ceases to exist.”
Rubin draws inspiration from his gritty upbringing, the tram tunnels where he first learned the craft and from the contrasts that have formed him into the artist he is today: the skyline of the hectic metropolis versus the serenity of the Nordic nature, all perfectly balanced in his art. With raw talent and relentless hard work Rubin has created a unique aesthetic that carries the art form beyond its boundaries.

Scene of Crime provides an unprecedented viewpoint on subway graffiti through images and documents produced by the Toronto Transit Commission’s security personnel.
This book unveils a hidden institutional archive filled with incident reports and evidentiary photographs, offering a rare glimpse into the intersection of graffiti, law enforcement, and bureaucracy.
Challenging conventional understandings of graf- fiti’s ephemerality, it reveals how photographs and texts extend graffiti’s lifespan while highlighting the complex dynamics between graffiti writers and the authorities who pursue them.
Featuring essays by Jamie Jelinski, Causr, Euroboi, and Liv, the book gives fresh insights into the broader implications of transit graffiti and the evidence produced by those who investigate it.

Martha Cooper has spent decades immortalising art that is often overlooked, and usually illegal. Her first book, 1984’s Subway Art is affectionately referred to by graffiti artists as the »bible«. To create Spray Nation, Cooper and editor Roger Gastman pored through hundreds of thousands of 35mm Kodachrome slides, painstakingly selecting and digitising them. They are accompanied by heartfelt essays celebrating Cooper’s drive, spirit, and singular vision.
The images capture a gritty New York era that is gone forever. And although the original pieces have been lost, these resplendent photos feel as immediate and powerful as a subway train thundering down the tracks.
Graffiti is a form of free expression of human. Modern graffiti came into being and peaked during the second half of the 20th century, with youngster establishing their identities in the streets and artists who yearned to convey their opinions concerning social and political matters.
This book starts with the history and culture of subway graffiti, the most well-known style of graffiti. Parallel with the subway graffiti, stencil graffiti, one of the most authentic form of street art will be introduced. The third chapter will pay attention to the wheatpaste graffiti which is a variant of commercial advertisement. After introducing three most important forms of graffiti, the creation process and techniques will be presented to show the readers how the actual scene of creation is for graffiti artists. Last but not least, the fifth chapter showcases a large number of graffiti works of various styles.
