Published by Melbourne University, this amazing hardback book examines the first decade of "Graff" nurtured by a group of underground "writers" on the walls & trains of the city that lies amongst the "Yarra". Documenting the dedication, "Kings Way" showcases a variety of styles from raw bombing to complex murals executed by a pioneering youth culture amongst football & trams. Peiced together by some of the "Burns" most respected "painters", the book also pays homage to the forgotten (& fondly revered) names & crews who once held the city to an ink stained ransom against it's bricks & "Hitachis".
A real treat for those who witnessed the era, or for those that need an education on history - Kings Way will be in all fine stores within the coming months!
Brilliant.
