Subway Art

Cool little book-trailer for Subway Art: 25th Anniversary Edition by photographers Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant.

I had no idea how influential this book was…

    Yup, it’s a classic. I looked at the anniversary edition, and it’s amazing.

    Oh man, I checked out this book so many times when I was in high school that the book went from shiny and new to falling apart, so the librarian gave it to me. That was a good day. That was a decade ago, and I still have that book.

    Back when I was writing, Subway Art, along with Spraycan Art and Style Wars were pretty much the only exposure to graffiti we had. We saw Dondi and Skeme and took our inspiration from there. Before the internet I think writing styles were more local; but we all started with Subway Art.

    Shame so many people are STILL religiously copying this stuff. Looked great back then (and I loved the book too, when I was 13), but now is essentially stale and nostalgic.
