Book Description
Over 400 eye-popping photos provide a decade-long tour of graffiti in New York City. Walls, trucks, and subway cars are featured with graffiti by the crews X-Men, KD, TNB, 156, RIS, AOK, TC-5, FAME CITY, COD, XTC, TFP, MCI, IF, DYM, 718, TD4, SMART, TATS CRU, FLY-ID, GFR, AKB, and many more. Because New York City has made a concerted effort to remove graffiti from the city, the images captured here will never be seen again. Walls were repainted and some buildings were demolished, keeping graffiti crews working fast to keep ahead of the trend. The author worked even faster to capture their ephemeral efforts. If you have a fascination with urban life and colorful expression, this book is definitely for you.

Damn. It was a busy weekend and I forgot I wanted to post this, but luckily my man ENUE reminded me about it. This is such a well shot and beautiful mini-doc on my friend Paul’s company, Colossal Media/Sky High Murals. Definitely worth a watch.
- Yo, saw you in there too Jasper!
I was familiar with his work, but after meeting him this weekend I found out that we both grew up pretty close to one another in southern Maryland. Nobody is ever familiar with that area, so it’s always funny when you run into someone who is. Nice guy though.
