Artist Survey

My name is Sanah Choudhry and I'm a third year student at Durham University. I'm currently undergoing my dissertation which I have chosen to base around Graffiti. I would be really grateful if you could answer a few questions. It will really boost my dissertation work and give me a better insight into how artists such as yourself perceive graffiti within today's culture.

Obviously you will be anonymous and all your details that I have, which is actually only your email adds, will not be produced in the dissertation document itself, and will be kept entirely confidential. Please let me know if you do want your "name" to be acknowledged because I will be more than happy to add it in - in fact it will probably look better.

Contact Sanah for details at sanah.choudhry@durham.ac.uk

Bill Daniel's "Mostly True"

Book info and Who is Bozo Texino DVDs.

Buy the book here, it's cheap!

[The bookstore calls it a zine but it's a softcover book pretending to be a magazine.]

"From the director of the underground documentary film Who Is Bozo Texino? Comes a rollicking rail zine of boxcar graffiti and obscrure railroad nostalgia—the result of a 25-year obsession with hobo and railworker folklore. Freight riding stories, interviews with hoboes and boxcar artists, historical oddities and tons of photos of modern day boxcar tags are all presented in the guise of a vintage rail fanzine."

Phil Frost monograph

Phil Frost honed his skills by painting walls, found objects and street detritus with his intricate, compulsive and highly evolved form of tagging. He crafts his painstaking paintings by collaging layers of found imagery on grounds of symmetrical black-and-white patterning, which he paints with correction fluid, and that often morph into language-like glyphs or symbols. Including an essay by New York journalist Carlo McCormick and notorious lowbrow artist Pushead, this is Frost's first monograph, and an invaluable introduction to the evolution of his style.

Graffiti Art

Graffiti Art, le nouveau magazine consacré à la création hors-piste sort aujourd'hui son numéro 1 chez tous les marchands de journaux.

Avec ce nouveau magazine, notre ambition est de vous faire découvrir, tous les deux mois, des artistes dont le travail est singulier. Leur dénominateur commun est d’avoir tous choisi des sentiers “hors-piste” loin des règles établies pour s’exprimer. Graffiti Art vous dévoile leurs univers réservés jusque-là aux initiés.

Et des univers, ce premier numéro en est plein ! À commencer par celui de Mist, artiste et designer de jouets basé à Montpellier ; celui de la photographe Martha Cooper qui documente le mouvement graffiti depuis ses premières heures ; celui de l’illustrateur Pablo Pasadas qui sample les images comme les Dj’s samplent la musique ou bien encore celui de Pete Doherty, le dandy décadent du rock qui peint avec son propre sang !

Vous découvrirez aussi que le marché de l’art s’intéresse de très près au graffiti à travers les témoignages d’Arnaud Oliveux et d’Hélène Bailly, respectivement spécialiste en art contemporain de la maison de ventes aux enchères Artcurial, et directrice de la Galerie Bailly à Paris.

Enfin, comme à chaque numéro, Graffiti Art vous présente les livres, toys, goodies et bons plans du moment.

[Google Translation]

Graffiti Art, the new magazine devoted to creating off-piste fate today its No. 1 among all merchants newspapers.

With this new magazine, our ambition is to make you discover every two months, artists whose work is singular. Their common denominator is to have all chosen paths "off-piste" far from the rules established to express themselves. Graffiti Art unveils you their universe hitherto reserved to insiders.

And universe, in this first issue is full! Starting with that of Mist, artist and designer of toys based in Montpellier, the photographer Martha Cooper, who documents the graffiti movement since its first hours, one of the illustrator Pablo Pasadas who samples images as the DJs sample music or even that of Pete Doherty, decadent rock dandy who paints with his own blood!

You will also discover that the art market looks very closely at graffiti through the testimony of Arnaud Oliveux and Helene Bailly, respectively specialist in contemporary art of the auction house Artcurial, and director of the Bailly Gallery in Paris.

Finally, as in every issue, Graffiti Art presents books, toys, goodies and good plans of the moment.

Lost Collection 0001 | 1998-2008

BOOK TITLE: Lost Collection 0001 | 1998-2008
A special edition of Lost | Graffiti in the City of Angels
224 pages | Spiral bound | 10.5" x 7"
Silkscreened art board covers
Limited to 2000 numbered copies
By Eyeone | Seeking Heaven with foreword by Ian Lynam

ABOUT THE BOOK
Lost Collection 0001 | 1998-2008 is a special-edition volume that spans a decade of documenting graffiti and visual culture on and off the streets of Los Angeles. The book features unpublished material as well as a comprehensive selection of highlights from the long out-of-print first 12 issues of Lost | Graffiti in the City of Angels.

Among those featured in this collection are Tempt STN, Krenz/Yem AM7, Besk UCA, and the MAK crew, innovators and pioneers of L.A. graffiti. Also in this book is work by Ayer LTS (R.I.P), Atlas CBS, and Hael OTR/7TH LETTER, highly influential in shaping contemporary L.A. graffiti. Work by street art pioneer The Phantom, photographer Luna, and illustrator Patrick Martinez presents L.A. visual culture in a broader context.

Two on-going Lost sections are presented in this volume as well; the Lost Blackbook Project which collects rarely-seen sketches and drawings giving a unique look into the graffiti process; and Contrast Resolution, a visual exploration of the impact and effectiveness of graffiti on the streets. Eyeone provides the introduction as well as an overview of issues past, and Ian Lynam rounds out this volume with a foreword that puts Lost in the context of graffiti, typography and design.

ABOUT LOST
Lost | Graffiti in the City of Angels is a highly-acclaimed publication founded in 1998 as a black and white photocopied 'zine by Eyeone of L.A.'s Seeking Heaven crew. Lost is Inspired by independent publications from the straight edge and hardcore music movements and is firmly rooted in graffiti culture.

Lost gives equal importance to all elements of graffiti, from the calligraphy of tagging to the typographical murals that occupy the city. Lost also features artists and photographers informed by the urban experience and makes it a priority to present contemporary as well as historic exponents of Los Angeles visual culture.

Graffiti Coloring Book

Here is the book where you can decide how graffiti should be colored yourself. More than sixty of the best graffiti writers in Scandinavia have done sketches with thick black contours for this classic and unusual coloring book.

The book allows you to practice your coloring skills to sketches by writers like Nug from Stockholm, Egs from Helsinki and Bates from Copenhagen. Graffiti sketches act as patterns for graffiti pieces but are also works of art in their own right. The book is an inspiring document of its time as well as a coloring book.

"After publishing several books on graffiti, it felt right to issue a coloring book on the subject," says publisher Malcolm Jacobson.

The job of collecting sketches was assigned to the Stockholm graffiti writer Uzi, of international renown.

Uzi asked the writers he deems to be the best and most current to do sketches especially for the Graffiti Coloring Book. They include both newcomers and legends. The age of contributors spans from 20 to 40.

It is hard to discern one Scandinavian style as you leaf through the book. The styles vary from Ador's fragmented letter pictures to Disey's wildstyle to Que's train style.

"Scandinavian styles fit quite well in black-and-white," says Uzi with satisfaction, having nagged for months to obtain the coveted sketches.

Writers may spend all day doing pieces, but sitting down to draw a sketch for printing is a rare occasion for most writers.

"You'd think everybody would want to participate in a book like this, but gathering the material was harder than you'd think," says Uzi.

A few contributors:
• Ador, from Stockholm, is a pioneer of the attractively ugly style that was launched in Scandinavia in the mid-90s.
• Bates, from Denmark, is one of the world's most famous graffiti writers and lies in the foreground of Scandinavian graffiti. He is a member of several graffiti crews such as COD and WCA from the United States.
• Disey is just as important to Swedish graffiti as Ingmar Bergman was to Swedish film.
• Egs is possibly the best and most important writer in Finland.
• Nug's clear graphic style has changed the way graffiti is made and has had a huge impact on Sweden and the rest of the world.
• Que is a member of the Stockholm graffiti group Writers United Football Club (WUFC). He seldom sketches, but contributes a humorous drawing of graffiti as a game of cat and mouse to the book.
• Uzi, from WUFC, has written graffiti on walls and trains around the world since the mid-80s.

USA: In summer 2008, you can get this from Last Gasp in San Francisco CA.

Born in the Bronx

A Visual Record of the Early Days of Hip Hop

Edited by Johan Kugelberg

Photographs by Joe Conzo
Foreword by Afrika Bambaataa
Original Flyer Art by Buddy Esquire
Timeline by Jeff Chang

Born in the Bronx is a striking anthology of Hip Hop's baby steps. Not only does it capture the emergence of a burgeoning culture but also the fashion and character of the surrounding community. From rare photographs of MC's and DJs to records, flyers, and other ephemera, writer Johan Kugelberghas pulled together the scattered remains of a movement that never has its eye on posterity. The book includes the improvisational artwork of previously unpublished street flyers of the era, Polaroids buried for decades in basements across the Bronx, and testimonials from the most scholarly historians of Hip Hop culture - the legends and pioneers who lived it! Through Born in the Bronx,Joe Conzo(described by The New York Times as "the chronicler who took hip hop's baby pictures") presents a unique cross-section of an explosive and experimental time in music history.

- Hip Hop's first photographer, Joe Conzo provides the majority of images of legends and urban scenes from 1977-1982. Additional photos were contributed by fellow pioneering documentarians Charlie Ahearn and Henry Chalfant.

- Photos feature The Cold Crush Brothers, Treacherous 3, Afrika Bambaataa, Busy Bee, Run DMC, Wayne "The Hip Hop Ventriliquist" and Charlie, Fantastic Romantic, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Funky Four + 1, Kool DJ AJ Scratch, GrandWizzard Theodore and more.

- Flyers created by Buddy Esquirefeature Hip Hop jams from 1978-1985. Obscure flyers advertise early Hip Hop jams in Brooklyn, Queens and even Connecticut!

- Essays were contributed by legends: GrandMaster Caz, JDL, Joe Conzo, Mare 139,GrandWizzard Theodore, LA Sunshine and Jorge "Fabel" Pabon plus a poem by DJ Disco Wiz and an interview with Buddy Esquire.

- The hard cover is embossed. The dust cover unfolds to reveal a poster: "The Hip Hop Map of the Bronx" by Joe Conzo and Tony Tone.

artyfucked – sketch & street art journal

Neubaugasse 51-3-7, 1070 Vienna, Austria

Issue 1: German, English
Vienna & Rimini

"artyfucked" documents the different artifacts of urban worlds (sketches, graffiti, cartoons) as well as making this form of art more popular and public opinion more sensitive.

"artyfucked" shows work of a variety of different sketchers and their styles as well as collected urban art work. Not in a typical way as we know it from other graffiti zines. All collected "acts of vandalism" are prepared and edited in a way so the reader will see only the artifact itself and reflect it more as a thought, opinion and artwork of it's artist. Each zine is produced in sketchbook style and comes with some excellent stickers as a bonus!

"artyfucked" is the first printed sketch and street art journal. It shows masterpieces of the biggest modern galleries from Casablanca up to Molotow. Maybe you find our artwork here as well.

BLAZING N°09

Graffiti Magazine
Dispo en kiosque et magasins spés
4,50 euros seulement

Le Blazing N°08 s’étant calé sur de bons rails, le N°09 ne pouvait que surprendre par de nouvelles rubriques chères à l’underground. Cette nouvelle édition s’ouvre  à des sujets dédiés exclusivement aux « Block Styles » de tous bords, mais aussi aux stations graffées du réseau métropolitain parisien. La suite du « Special French Subway » se concentre sur un des acteurs principaux du crew très fermé appelé MPV (Métros Parisiens Violés) du bombeur que l’on nomme SEE.

Côté mur, une large place est faite au groupe MCZ alias Montreuil City Zoo, basé sur la périphérie Est de Paris. Nous découvrirons également la ville de Cherbourg en Normandie, ainsi qu’un dossier complet consacré au peintre CHILE, graffant lui aussi côté Est, mais de la France, à Strasbourg.

Nous profitons de ces quelques lignes  pour remercier tous les lecteurs, peintres, comme dessinateurs qui supportent les valeurs objectives de nos éditions fondées sur la structure indépendante et intègre qu’est GRAFF IT PRODUCTIONS.

Sachez que « BLAZING » est votre magazine et nous vous faisons, plus que jamais, confiance en vous permettant d’accéder et de faire vivre l’actualité du lettrage et de ses dérivés de la manière la plus riche et la plus ordonnée. Notre futur dépend de votre action présente ; alors bonne lecture à tous et à très bientôt dans de nouveaux projets.

The Blazing #08 was on good tracks. This #09 edition could only surprise you through new underground subjects, as the “Block Styles” one, or as the painted Parisian metro stations subject.

Art in Consequence: Advanced Vandalizm

With its rebirth in contemporary pop culture as an appreciated, embraced and oft-utilized art form with a seemingly ever-growing body of practitioners and adherents, how can graffiti escape the known trappings of widespread acceptance, avoid becoming awash with clichéd forms? How can it dodge stagnation as it has authority for so long? By providing a window into an avant-garde constantly pushing the boundaries of graffiti in an effort to maintain its relevance and vitality as a force of aesthetic and cultural provocation, stimulation and dissidence, Art in Consequence offers some answers to those very questions and hints at what the future of graffiti may bring. The book and DVD take the reader on a trip to selected scenes where beauty and absurdity meet, documenting actions where some of those very answers are manifested in the form of shapes and colors, signs and wonders, all forged out of necessity by their creators.

1207

Stockholm graffiti writers in new book of portraits

In 1207, the graffiti writers of Stockholm are portrayed for the first time. In a journey from suburb to inner city, they display their own personal Stockholm. They are heroes in their own world.

Stockholm has been decorated by graffiti writers for more than twenty years. Now, for the first time, the people behind graffiti allow themselves to be portrayed. 1207 presents more than 50 of Stockholm’s most active and legendary graffiti writers. Photographer Torkel Sjöstrand has followed them and photographed them on their walks through the city for three years. From Spånga to Norsborg, Södertälje to Ekerö, suburb to inner city. In tunnels and on railroad tracks, or overlooking a magnificent vista of the city. Graffiti writers are fascinated by the places many people don’t notice. 1207 is a document of a small group of people who risk their own well-being for an art form that is constantly pilloried by politicians and the authorities. We are offered a different depiction of Stockholm, and a unique document of its graffiti writers. Moreover, all the writers have written their tag in the book. 1207 is the police code for destruction of property through graffiti.

Torkel Sjöstrand is a photographer and editor for Underground Productions magazine. He has previously contributed to such books as Overground, Writers United and Gates of Graffiti.

Essay by Jacob Kimvall, art theoretician and an authority on graffiti. Foreword by Irok, Stockholm graffiti writer.

Uncommissioned Art

An A-Z of Australian Graffiti by Christine Dew

On the streets of Australian cities there are conversations occurring in paint in public spaces. Graffiti, stencil and street art are immediate and ephemeral. Yet the same media is gaining worldwide currency, with many art galleries collecting and showing these works.

This illustrated A-Z combines beautiful colour images from Australia's thriving graffiti and street art culture, interviews with some of Australia's most important graffiti and street artists, analysis of the history and evolution of the scene and discussion of urban planning, community and freedom of speech raised by graffiti's presence in public space.

Uncommissioned Art: An A-Z of Australian Graffiti offers new ways to look at street art. It will contribute to local, national and international conversations about art and design, popular culture and urban planning.

Chris Dew is a Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies and an Australian Research Council Associate in the History Program at La Trobe University in Melbourne. She is also a photographer interested in landscape, memory and place. Her photographs have been exhibited in Melbourne's Counihan Gallery and in many print publications. She is also a consultant to local government and community organisations on graffiti-related matters.

[This book is an excellent survey of Australian graffiti art that includes most of the right people and good examples of their work. It's a huge, well-produced volume, sure to be a collector's item. - Susan]

It Ate Billy on Christmas

by Roman Dirge and Steven Daily

It would have been a Christmas like any other for little Lumie and her horrible, terrible, obnoxious, awful bully of a brother Billy. But then a funny little monster appeared and ate Billy right up! Lumie knows it's not really a good thing to let a monster eat your brother, but she can't help but notice that things are, in fact, much nicer now that he's gone. Now that things are looking up a little in her world, Lumie has to decide what to do with her new little monster friend, and - most importantly - what she's going to feed him.

Icepick

Photos from Icepick on Flickr

ICEPICK is a book based on icelandic Street Art. it portrays juicy graphic collages and illustrations made by the graphic designer Thordis Claessen. The book Icepick has been five years in the making, and is published by Gingkopress. Icepick was recently introduced with a show in Urbis Gallery in Manchester, UK (ongoing may - aug 07)

Because of its location between mainland Europe and America, Iceland has indeed a mixed culture. Therefore its street art has a unique flavour, where street artists invent new and interesting forms of borderline art.

ICEPICK is a roughly 220 page graphic creation, showing Icelandic graffiti and street art in various forms. Full colur pieces, stickers, stencils and political statements, all as if put in a blender and out comes a bursting mixture. Iceland has mostly highlighted for its music scene in the past. Here is something else to be explored from this weird and tiny island - where street artists are apparently quite creative. The street art featured in ICEPICK covers a wide range of themes and subject matter from traditional Icelandic icons to sheep, Vikings, fantastic gothic creations dreamt up during long Icelandic nights and colorful graffiti pieces that evoke the New York street art scene.

Keep in mind that the cold can bite fingers and nose quite hard when making big pieces in Iceland, but that does´n´t seem to be a problem to the street art vikings.

Most artists featured in Icepick are of course Icelandic, plus work from three guest artists including "Mike The Flower Guy" (USA) and Akaysim + Adams (SWE). So sink your teeth in this juicy book and look out for the Icelandic ICEPICK, available in bookstores worldwide.

Roman Dirge and Steven Daily set sail with Peter the Pirate Squid

petersquid.gif

We all find inspiration in the strangest places. Artists are inspired by stains on the ceiling, writers by misheard conversations. And now, from Roman Dirge, creator of Lenore (and we're a little afraid to guess what that was inspired by) comes a salty tale of a seaborne squid who draws his life mission from... pirates.

Peter the Pirate Squid pairs Dirge's writing talents with the keen artistic abilities of Steven Daily, telling the tale of an eight-legged cephalopod who wants nothing more than to rule his seventh of a sea with an iron hand - er, tentacle. And so, with a faithful crew of oysters, seahorses, crabs and other eyepatch-minded denizens of the deep, Peter sets forth in search of booty, baubles and grog-toting adventure!

The same size as a Little Golden Book, Peter the Pirate Squid is sure to be a hit with existing Lenore fans, younger readers, and kids of all ages.

Dirge says that after a decade of publishing the multimedia hit Lenore with SLG, the step to children's books (albeit children's books with unique sensibilities) comes naturally.

"Ya know, I like pirates and I like squids. It just seemed like it needed to happen," said Dirge. Steven is such an incredible artist and I'm proud to shove his work into more eye balls."

"Creating this world has been so challenging and fun. I have always wanted to work on a pirate story. When Roman had the idea of taking this Peter character, and make a book out of him, ideas just started to 'flow like Neptune's beard,'" Daily said. "Roman is a brilliant working with him is amazing."

Peter and his fellow subaquatic swashbucklers will live by the sword in July 2007. Peter the Pirate Squid will be a 32-page, 7.5" x 7.5" black-and-white storybook and will retail for $4.95. It is available now at comic book stores through Diamond Comics and is available on SLG's website, SLG - Peter the Pirate Squid, and Amazon.com.

Gates Of Graffiti

Graffiti has moved from the trains to the streets. Doors are the new canvases. Gates Of Graffiti show doors from New York, Berlin, Copenhagen and Stockholm.

Doors make a good frame for the faster forms of graffiti and street art such as tags, stencils and posters. In a doorway one can sneak in and execute its art without being noticed. Gates Of Grafftit is the first book to focus on tags, their design and how writers communicate with them. It is an unique chance to understand what tags are about and how beautiful they can be. It explores graffiti on doors in New York, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm and other cities.

The texts are written by graffiti writers Smith (NYC), Punk (Gothenburg), Clint 176 (Berlin) och Don Juan (Copenhagen) who open-hearted tells the fascinating stories behind the names that adorn the doors of major cities. Photo by Björn Almqvist, Tobias Barenthin Lindblad, Malcolm Jacobson and Torkel Sjöstrand whos earlier work includes Overground, Writers United and Dom kallar oss klottrare and graffiti magazine Underground Productions. Gates Of Graffiti is published by Dokument Förlag.

Burning New York

burningnewyorkbookx.jpg

A sequel to the best-selling BROKEN WINDOWS: GRAFFITI NYC, BURNING NEW YORK: GRAFFITI NYC is sure to please an eager audience clamoring for more. New York is the undisputed graffiti capital of the world, the epicenter of a vibrant international scene that attracts artists from all over the globe. Some make the pilgrimage to study old school forms, others to make their own individual contribution to the evolution of the craft. All leave their mark. Burning New York features the latest and most exciting graffiti art being created today. In the same vein as Broken Windows it is a collection of interviews, intimate portraits of the artists working in the streets and hundreds of stunning large scale paintings. Burning New York features contemporary works by genre defying graffiti writers, an interesting combination of those who are just beginning to achieve prominence and others who have been honing their skills for decades. "From the ashes of the 60s to the dust of Ground Zero, New York graffiti has magnetized and polarized, rocked and shocked. When the hot-eyed and restless ride the city's edge to turn dead walls into worlds of color, motion, and passion, Jim and Karla Murray capture their visions and voices with a fire to match. Don't blink." Jeff Chang, author of Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation

There's an Octopus Under My Bed

by

Skribe

This first children's book by Scribe and Dean Blase is delightful. Scribe is Kansas City's favorite character artist and he's the artist in residence at Children's Mercy Hospital there.

The story follows the adventures of a little green bunny named Elijah as he learns life lessons about adaptation and bravery from his new friend, Manos, the octopus. The first page of the book pays tribute to Scribe's graffiti roots by making a game out of different graffiti artists' lettering. Will you be able to figure out how these distorted images spell "octopus"? Throughout the book you'll find hidden images from other artists.

Galeristin Prema (26), nach der "PremArts" benannt ist, kommt aus Berlin und studiert Visual and Performing Arts-Music an der Brighton University. Die Galerie ist für Prema die Möglichkeit, mit Künstlern aus der ganzen Welt zu kooperieren und gemeinsam Ausstellungen zu planen.

www.premarts.de

PremArts is an Art-Workshop and Gallery, located in the central south district of Berlin-Mitte, called Berlin Kreuzberg . Xberg is one of the best-known localities (Ortsteile) of Berlin, famous for its nightlife and its political leftness, thrives on its diverse cultures and is an attractive area for younger, alternative crowds, cosmoplitan students, young professionals and a very high amount of immigrants.

A few minutes by walk you get to the East Side Gallery, an international memorial for freedom. It is a 1.3km long section of the Berlin Wall. The gallery consists of approximately 106 paintings by artists from all over the world, painted on the east side of the Berlin Wall. It is possibly the largest and everlasting open air gallery in the world.

The Kreuzberg flair of an art and culture scenery, growing there steadily since the beginning of the nineties, is interacting with an increasingly big music business, like MTV, Universal, POPKOMM Musicfair, and the third generation of young people with migrant background from all over specially from turkey and south Europe countries. Its surrounded by international culture of subcultural underground pubs and many but only small shopping facilities. Street scenery as well as shops, enterprises and population of the quarter are changing constantly. The PremArts Gallery and Art-Workshop intentionally puts itself into this cultural focus to make use of it and to interfere.

PremArts as an Art-Workshop and Gallery offers to artists and other interested people a forum for encounters and exchange in which contemporary new artistic contents and modes of expression are elaborated publicly. The Art-Workshop is neither a typical commercial gallery nor a private studio. Rather, we understand it as self-propagating aesthetic "work in progress" that intends to make perceivable the artistic process, that factually occurs in life, thus searching for the 1:1 congruence between life and art. We understand this work as a form of life art, as a search for real time and reality with the means of art. We invite all artists and other people to participate in this work. Individuals as well as groups can embark in the Art-Workshop on the search of the interface between art and life, without or with us. The room is available to artists, for example, for jointly entering an experimental process, for visual and performing arts, action, concerts, films, theater, exhibitions, seminars, and other topics from allover the world.

Presently the "PremArts-Gallery and Arts-Workshop" is organized and structured by Suprema (Prema) and sometimes for digital sounds assisted by Namistyle, (Nami ) both students for Visual and Performing Arts at the Brighton University, who individually and as a duo contribute to the PremArts Gallery" with their own artistic work. The " Art-Workshop" as well as the Gallery are not fixed locally only; rather they form a forum that, due to the effort of the above mentioned operating artists and other participants, grows also at many other locations, for example by communicating personally and through the homepage and webblog.
