Style needs no color: SCHWARZ AUF WEISS Vol. II Book

Style Needs No Color works on the notion that excessive colors and flashy techniques should not be used to repair a weak foundation. It upholds the philosophy that artwork should be able to stand alone without unnecessary distractions, and therefore SNNC artists restrict their palette to black and white. In Schwarz auf Weiss Vol. II, the follow-up release to their successful first book, you can see the stark beauty and striking simplicity of this idea in action. Since their first title, the SNNC collaboration has expanded significantly, manifesting itself in a series of noteworthy exhibitions, live painting shows, installations and street wear collaborations across the world. SNNC has invited a diverse range of international artists from their growing network to contribute black and white illustrations, vector graphics, street art and graffiti styles to this impressive publication.


Featured artists: Alexis Marcou, Andreas Pistner, Army of Snipers, Aro, Base23, Bayo, Bezt, Derek Stenning, Dust, Duster 132, Frau Isa, Lars Henkel, Hombre, Imaone, Kornel, Monsta, Mr Gauky, Nicholas Di Genova, Nychos, Peachbeach, Peter Aurisch, Pixelpancho, Pavel Ripley, Robert Proch, Russ Mills, Sainer, Satone, Schwarzmaler, Shame ABC, Simon Prades, Sit, Sozyone, Stephane Tarteline, Tasso, Won ABC and many more.

Martha Cooper - Hip Hop Files - Photographs 1979-1984

Martha Cooper has the reputation of being the first and foremost photographer of emerging Hip Hop culture in New York City.

Hip Hop Files - Photographs 1979-1984, makes a significant part of her extensive and unique archive accessible for the first time.
The book documents the beginning of the phenomenon, now known as Hip Hop. The publication of many of Martha’s photos in the early 80’s, disseminated the culture both at home and abroad.
From 1999 to 2003, Akim Walta aka ZEB.ROC.SKI, well-known german Hip Hop practitioner and music publisher of MZEE records, tracked down the subjects in the photos and conducted numerous interviews obtaining insightful quotes and statements to accompany the shots.

Fortunately, Martha was at the right place at the right time to document young people creating the music, dance, and art that became known worldwide. She followed people who would one day become icons: LEE, FAB 5 FREDDY, ROCK STEADY CREW, DONDI, BOBBITO, DEZ aka DJ KAY SLAY, RUN DMC, SEEN, AFRIKA BAMBAATAA, BLADE, RAMMELLZEE, FUTURA 2000, GRANDMASTER CAZ, DURO, LADY PINK and many others.

Euro Trash

Europe’s most notorious train crew, Monsters Of Art, celebrates 20 years of train havoc. It is with great pleasure that we honor their anniversary with a monster edition of ON THE RUN. Join us for a rare and privileged glimpse into the unruly world of MOAS. With over 200 pages that detail MOAS’s history and unique crew concept, along with classic tales from the train yard, including great escapes, writer beef, legendary busts, extreme graffiti feats, trains, trains and more trains. This is a must-have for all diehard fans of train graffiti.

MOAS blasted onto the Copenhagen scene in 1991. Once they had Denmark locked down, MOAS expanded through a series of high profile, international affiliations to become omnipresent in Denmark, Europe and now the world. Their infamous working methods have become the standard for those daring to compete. Many have attempted, but most fail. For those willing to try, be warned, they are ruthless inside and outside the yard, so proceed with caution.

MOAS—20 years on the run and still going strong. Don’t listen to the rumors; get the story direct from the source.
