A very awaited  swedish book is coming this fall. The book is calling Blatt Stal and is focused on the history of Stockholm commuters from 84 to 2013. It include about 800 pictures and interviews of the main influenced writers of the city like Kaos, Skil, Nug but also of guards, drivers, buffers. Unfortunately the book will be published in Swedish only but I guess the pictures will tell us a little bit more about the Stockholm activists that painted over the years.

Here is already a trailer with comments of DNE, Slisk, Erse and some more…we keep you in touch as soon as an overview of the book will be available.

The writer from Kopenhagen was filmed painting the Molotow car in the middle of nowhere (in fact it’s in the Black Forest). Soten did a nice wallcar with only blue colors. The session is reported this video below.

100 artistes majeurs du street art ont répondu à l’appel de Ilk et Keno.
ILK et KENO, c’est la rencontre de deux artistes qui ont fait leurs armes sur les différents supports de la ” plus belle ville du monde “.
Après des nuits d’errance vouées à la conquête de territoires inexplorés, ces deux rats des villes ont décidé de se terrer quelque temps afin de coucher sur le papier le labyrinthe de leurs visions nocturnes et de leurs diverses rencontres humaines.
Résultat de cette retraite, un ouvrage intitulé 15 Minutes.
100 artistes s’illustrent sur les bases du graffiti : le sketch, le throw-up, la photographie et le tag, dans ce temps chronométré. Dans la rue, chaque minute compte.

Last Sunday Abyss organised his birthday wall . A good occasion for him and his crew partners from PUBB and KCN crew to do a huge dope battle wall: PUBB VS KCN. This kind of wall let me think  Stockholm is definitely one of most talented and inovative city in Europe. Respect such styles !

Pictures taken from Highlights blog

High quality  wall here

Maybe one of the best graffiti song never produced: Lune TNS of Co-Flow is a must (at least to me). I just spend some time to read the lyrics of this track and I could not resist to post them here as they really good and full of old school New-York graffiti references.

Here is a live from El Producto and Bigg Jus performing the song Lune TNS at the Coachella Festival in Indio- California.
