Bruno666 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Re: Auckland, New Zealand - KINGS WAY BOOK Fresh to NZ, a must have collectors item - in stock at http://www.thepitbullpress.com Kings Way - $69.95 The Beginnings of Australian Graffiti: Melbourne 1983-93 Duro Cubrilo, Martin Harvey and Karl Stamer 384 pages, Hardback, 280 x 225 mm, Fully illustrated throughout. Kings Way chronicles the events, spaces, materials and folklore that made up the lives of Melbourne's early graffiti writers. About this Title A quarter of a century ago, the New York City hip-hop phenomenon left its mark on Australian walls-a graffiti-writing culture was born. In a barrage of blinding colour, cryptic words and bombed out train carriages, Kings Way tells the story of Melbourne's emerging underground writing scene and the youth whose sole purpose was to get up. Using the city's walls and trains as their ephemeral canvas, these writers pioneered the elaborate spray-paint artworks that continue to dominate Melbourne's cityscape. With more than 1200 full colour images, this volume captures the rapid changes in styles in these early years, as Melbourne's graffiti evolved from basic tags through to explosive full colour masterpieces. Part visual encyclopaedia, part social history, Kings Way chronicles the events, spaces, materials and folklore that made up the lives of Melbourne's early writers. Compiled by active participants in the subculture across this period, it pays tribute to the individuals and crews who laid the foundation for Melbourne's reputation as a graffiti style capital. About the Author Duro Cubrilo Duro Cubrilo is a Melbourne-based artist with over fourteen years experience in design and advertising. As well as being an award-winning art director, Duro was also co-creator in the highly successful Burn Clothing label which operated for eight years. Duro's exposure to graffiti began in the mid 80s as a kid growing up in suburban Melbourne. This led to painting and documenting the subculture and being involved and respected within the community of writers. His personal experiences and insight into the local scene combined with his passion for design have led to this unique publication. He is a co-author and the creative director behind Kings Way. Martin Harvey Martin Harvey's interest in the Melbourne graffiti writing culture began in the 80s and has led him to develop a thorough understanding of this urban artform. His personal contribution through years of painting also guided his obsession of travelling throughout the entire transit system to document the movement. His insight and photographic archive have made him an invaluable source to this project. Martin is a co-author of Kings Way. Karl Stamer Karl Stamer's passion for graffiti writing began in the mid 80s in Melbourne's southern bayside area. His pioneering writing achievements and combined awareness of inner-city sub culture have made him an indispensable contributor to Kings Way. Karl's extensive knowledge and professional experience within the digital imaging industry has been utilised throughout this project. Karl is a co-author of Kings Way.
