This is a replica of Akay’s first blackbook. The production of the original began in the autumn of 1986, when 16-year-old Akay glued a spray paint color sample chart onto the first page of an unassuming, standard-sized sketchbook. Through his nightly additions of sketches and photographs and newspaper clippings until the spring of 1990, the personal document of a prolific graffiti writer became this unintentional chronicle of an era of Stockholm graffiti.

There’s a brief gap in Akay’s meticulous record-keeping from just before Christmas of 1988 when his dad confiscated his original blackbook and locked it inside a bank safety deposit box. His dad threatened to throw it in the fire if Akay didn’t stop painting graffiti. A few weeks after the blackbook was taken hostage, two policemen showed up at Akay’s dad’s house with a search warrant. Akay and Weird were told to wait in the kitchen while the police searched Akay’s basement bedroom looking for evidence to build their case against him—things like photos or sketches, or even better, all that evidence conveniently glued into a book along with the dates and locations written next to the pieces. But thanks to his dad’s failed attempts at parental extortion (and no thanks to his dad’s wife who kept offering the cops coffee and refreshments), the police didn’t find anything incriminating. The only slightly suspicious thing the police could find was an artfully arranged display of 280 colorful spray cans, Akay’s most prized possession at the time—second only to the imprisoned blackbook—that brightened up his windowless room.

Now, over 30 years later, long after the contents can be used as evidence in any prosecutable crimes or for manipulative parenting tactics, the blackbook from Akay’s teenage years has been reproduced and made available for the first time. This is the second edition.

Fold outs come in a package with instructions on how to glue them in.

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 Crash Kid Graffiti Archive Book is something like the legacy of Massimo Colonna, who as Crash Kid shook up the Italian hip-hop scene. In the 80s he established himself as one of the best breakdancers of his time, which came to a far too early end in 1997 when he died of cancer at just 26 years old.

What is perhaps less well known is the fact that Crash Kid left behind a massive body of photographic work fully dedicated to the hip-hop world. The Crash Kid Graffiti Archive book now features unpublished photographs from his archive dedicated to graffiti.

Shot in cities such as New York, Paris, Rome, Monaco and Basel, it features the work of Bando, Mode 2, Dare, Can 2, Loomit, Napal, Stand, Pane, Rusty, Zero T, Dayaki, Eron and many others, often posing in front of their own writings.

The photographs, taken over the course of about a decade, thus offer an interesting glimpse into the worldwide graffiti and hip-hop scene of those days.

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.

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.
