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.

Whole Car Poetry is a very special project, or rather, let's say that it is undoubtedly a unique work of its kind. It tells (through images) the unbridled passion for wholecars of a writer very well known in the Italian scene of graffiti on trains, Hepo.

The title of the book makes one think of poetry but perhaps it would be more representative to imagine these texts as a rap text without music, given the themes, the words and the world to which these lines are addressed. At a first glance this parallelism might seem far-fetched but it is instead of fundamental importance to be able to enjoy the writer in question. Among the writers that accompany Hepo in some of the photos of the many wholecar and wholetrain published we find Ciak, Humen, Hekto and others. The photos, needless to say, are really beautiful. From the texts you can recognise an uncommon talent.

Intro signed by Trota and Danno of Colle der Fomento. A beautiful book at a very honest price. Recommended!

20 years of street photography and bombing from Copenhagen, Denmark. 132 pages of tags and throw-ups from the Danish capital, presented in a black-and-white pocket-sized book. The monochrome images reflect the raw expression of the tags, combining street photography with a punk vibe reminiscent of 90s fanzines.

Some of Denmark’s most well-known names are mixed with new young bombers in a wide variety of styles – from the cleanest tags to the dirtiest and most chaotic. Featured artists include Kegr, Tomcat, Rens, Birds, Moas, Raks, Feff, Jetset, Grape, Peach, Sabe, Cave, Ouze, Føte, Sleep, Helmet, Ond, Tvod, Lips, Snoph, Kmer, Beta, Teen, Black, Sazer, and many more.

The book is produced by TagsAndThrows, which started as an Instagram account in the early 2000s and has since become the world’s largest platform for documenting graffiti’s rawest form of expression – bombing: tags and throw-ups. TagsAndThrows has previously released two books and several bombing documentaries.

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.

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.

Volume 1

I grew up in the Bronx New York, and graffiti, hip hop, and break dancing was the expression of time. I always loved the arts of expression, and in these times, it seems like those liberties are fading. I want to create books that will not only let people view the art that moved me so much, but to allow them to join in on the fun and actually get the feel of understanding the art, by tracing over my pieces until they learn to create their own styles. Upon completing their first piece, they will fall in love with creating graphic masterpieces. SKIP and COAST from STYLEMASTERS.

What Happens When a Machine and a Graffiti Writer Collaborate?This book explores that intriguing question, as Alone HM, Alsino Skowronnek, Theodor Guelat, and Team Flight Mode embark on a bold journey into uncharted creative territory.

The result is a series of extraordinary works shaped by the interplay of human artistry and artificial intelligence: some pieces partially painted by machines, others painted onto machines—merging neural networks with railway networks.Gradient Descent captures the spirit of innovation, experimentation, and transformation.

It bridges the gap between traditional graffiti aesthetics and the digital age, preserving core principles while sometimes breaking them entirely. This is a story of redefining boundaries and pushing the limits of what graffiti can be in a modern, tech-driven world.

After being out of print and in high demand for years, this title is finally available in a beautiful hardcover edition.

Cholo Writing is the 20th century’s oldest form of graffiti, a Mexican-American phenomenon evident in Los Angeles long before the appearance of tags and pieces in New York. It has had a major influence on the visual expressions of Californian culture, including the lowrider, surf, skate and hip-hop movements.

This volume documents the aesthetic evolution of the form."Placas" are territorial inscriptions created to define a gang’s turf, a genuine, constantly evolving urban calligraphy with strict codes used by Latino gangs for street writing since the late 1930s. Here, the aesthetic evolution of Cholo Writing is documented and the influence of blackletter typefaces and calligraphic models such as Old English is traced through two collections of photographs. One by Californian Howard Gribble, who photographed Chicano gang graffiti over a wide geographic area in the early 1970s, and one by French graphic designer and writer François Chastanet, who traveled to the same Los Angeles neighborhoods in 2008 to document early 21st century inscriptions.

The main essay of this second edition has been updated according to the latest historical research on lettering sources. With foreword by Dr. Chaz Bojórquez, East Los Angeles graffiti pioneer and Godfather of West Coast Cholo Writing for over 50 years.
