New York graffiti writers who cut their teeth painting trains in
the '70s and '80s transfer Old Skool street art to a more
permanent, collectible medium in this book, using transit maps,
instead of subway cars, as canvases. GHOST, T-KID, QUIK, REVOLT,
BLADE, SHAME125, COPE2, SKEME, and others decorated ordinary 23" x
32" MTA maps with their personal tags and graphics-echoing the
heyday of New York train graffiti. Sixteen sections, one for each
writer, feature a total of more than 100 maps, as well as brief
statements about the painters' artistic evolution and style. Like a
dynamic "piece book," or sketchbook, this collection is an
exclusive sampling of the painters' signature strokes and tags in
portable form. In fact, many of the artists featured here have used
subway-map art as a springboard from the fleeting genre of
train-tagging to the sturdier platform of the international art
gallery circuit.
