352 pages, unseen photos in colour
Printed on 22 different paper qualities
250 copies

More info link in bio. Pre-order no longer possible. Available from 25 October.

The Golden Years - Alcorcón & Móstoles Graffiti (1985-2000). Published in 2019 by @efegalvez75 Only 500 copies printed, 300 pages. During the 90s, the Spanish cities Alcorcón and Móstoles were two of the cities most painted in Europe. For this reason these two cities next to Madrid become the travel and painting destination of writers and fans from all over Europe. This book shows a part of the murals that were painted and feedback from the writers. The book is a trip back to the golden years of Alcorcón and Móstoles. Thanks to @efegalvez75 ! #dutchgraffitilibrary

"When it all went wrong there was only one way out, the back window, sometimes you would just jump for fun too." Were talking 1986 Wolverhampton in the West Midlands near Birmingham, England. Local writers like Class E, Chase, Pray 168, Renk, Step, Lent, Temz, Tact, Desk where up on WMPTE buses in these early years of the graffiti culture.
Also shown in these slides a original "Taz Roc Inner City Bomberz" sticker lifted off a bus and preserved in a sticker book belonging to Toasters. And snippets from a local paper kept by the writer Late who was featured in the article about the state of tagging appearing on buses in the 80’z.

A for us hidden gem story told by @pilgrimzprojectz We of Dutch Graffiti Library were surprised by these images and the local story. We are convinced that these stories and images are good to share. Everybody knows the bigger story lines of graffiti (subway) history. But these are the local ones, towns with there own Kings without crowns. #dutchgraffitilibrary
