Phet a.k.a. Freaky in front of the New York City subway in 1987, picture by Henry Chalfant signed by @phetworld. Phet told about this picture: "One of those photo's I almost didn't have. While visiting NY, my camera broke down after a week. @henrychalfant strongly urged me to buy a new one. Although I had my reservations, I decided to follow his advise. In retrospect it was the best 100 dollars I ever spend.” Also shown a 1985 pencil sketch ‘Freaky’, his first writing name as known from the book Spraycan Art. Thanks to @phetworld great piece of history right here, added to the collection, signed. Highly appreciated! #dutchgraffitilibrary @alanket #newyorkgraffiti

Flashback and good memories to autumn 2018 when we were proudly present the book 'Disz. The first Dutch writer bombing the New York City subway'. It also reminds me to the years before of intensive research and determination, in were we had uncovered the startling and unique story of René Westhoff aka Disz. (A life that unfortunately ended far too early in 2012, when Disz died at the age of 50.) Thankful that we were able to publish this book and shine some light on this unknown chapter of the graffiti culture. And finally after more than 30 years we could give an answer to the question “What is a young man from The Hague doing bombing the one line in the 145th Street Tunnel with Bodé nudes?” asked in the book ‘Spraycan Art’. #disz #dutchgraffitilibrary

Shave’s Cut, Cult. Need. & Dedication

All first orders in the Netherlands will be delivered today!

Shave’s Cut is the visual autobiography of graffiti artist Shave, nom de plume of a pioneer in the Dutch graffiti scene. For the past 35 years, Shave has made coded statements in public spaces: hidden in plain sight on trains and walls, his pieces raw and bold in nature.

Due to the complexity, the book must be finished with care. The printer needs more time than planned for this after the release party a week ago on October 25 at Club Sexyland Amsterdam.
Thanks for your patience.
