Kul Att Det Körs – Per Englund

Per Englund is a Swedish writer and photographer who started doing graffiti in 1994. As he states in the introduction, he kind of regrets the lack of documented tags from his early writing days, due to analog cameras, expensive films and the lower value within the hierarchy of graffiti. It seems as if in today’s times of digital photography for him the habit of always carrying a camera is a long term effect of this loss.

“Kul Att Det Körs” (a Swedish graffiti saying) is a selection of photos Englund took in his everyday life between 2012 and 2017. The black and white photographs clearly show his focus on marker and spraycan tags but you can also find throw-ups and bombings in the book. The documented graffiti is presented in close ups, from a little distance or in atmospheric shots, including more of the respective surrounding from the city of Stockholm.

While the second part features a mix of writers like UZI, SPAIN, SWEDEN, AKAY, ABSENT, SEXVALP, LIGISD, KEGR and BABBO in photo series like trucks or places which have been revisited over months and years, the books’ first half consists of bigger chapters on KANIN, PSYKOS, SERIO, FHER, SPACEY, HONIE & GIMP and GAME OVER. These names have been spotlighted not because of their experience or the practice of the ‘best’ graffiti following New York graffiti aesthetics, but they attracted the photographers attention most and managed to stand out.

On the 136 pages you can find more than 300 photographs, an additional text by Tobias Barenthin Lindblad and an image register to visit the locations yourself. Each copy is accompanied by an leaflet including an English translation. A handful of the very last available copies are signed by Per Englund. Choose your preferred edition underneath.

Big list of graffiti documentaries I got really interested in bombing a couple of years ago and since then I've watched way too many hours of footage about it. I figured I'd compile a list of real graffiti* documentaries and videos that you might enjoy. *I'm staying away from street art and permission pieces to focus on what I'm calling 'real graffiti', meaning illegally done tags, throws, pieces, burners, wildstyles, and rollers, done with the explicit purpose of getting names up. Style Wars – 1983 The essential graff documentary, shot back when you could spend three hours painting a train in broad daylight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpWxHTNYx6k&ab_channel=meiffioscar Piece by Piece: San Francisco Graffiti – 2006 An amazing documentary covering decades and an amazing insight into the evolution of graffiti as a whole, from its artistic golden age to the explosion of street bombing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ub8uRFzUCQ&t=2422s&ab_channel=UDP415 Up Here Kids – 2017 One that anyone with a more artistic eye will find easy to appreciate, UH are a Tennessee crew with some of the most talented bombers in the world. Freight trains, billboards, and highway spots are the name of the game here and their talent is absolutely out of this world. More space and more time than your usual writers are granted, and more talent than they usually have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQSBSbGfyrY&t=1499s&ab_channel=mattsmith Berlin Kidz 2: Fuck the System – 2019 Berlin Kidz are one of today's most known crews, famous for their Brazilian style pichação graffiti. This is an insane documentary packed with graffiti, parkour and train surfing; also features 1UP and ÜF crews. Paradox, Pharas, Life, Style, Fresh, Sutin, and more I'm forgetting – amazing writers, brilliant film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgiVCwfYcrk&t=1329s&ab_channel=VANDALSUPPORT Literally any Tags and Throws video – 2010's Tags and Throws is a project by a Swedish filmmaker who's followed and interviewed some amazing writers from Sweden, NYC, LA and more. I'm linking the video with Uzi WUFC (Writers' Union Football Club, one of Sweden's greatest crews) because there's some real graffiti wisdom here. I also recommend the vids with Sano, Klops, Zexor (RIP), Ligisd, Bat, Nemz, Easy, and Ojae. All brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXOmceiefTs&t=622s&ab_channel=TagsAndThrows Never Grow Up – 2020 onwards Just great train writing in Berlin. No bullshit, just amazing bombing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ToDU05FoQ&t=113s&ab_channel=AGGRO.TV Robbo vs Bansky: Graffiti Wars – 2011 Robbo (RIP) was one of the greatest to ever do it in the UK. The UK has incredibly harsh graffiti laws but the train scene is still kicking, with Robbo being a huge part of that foundation. He had a famous war with Banksy, and it goes some way to understanding why Banksy is so reviled by many graffiti writers. He tragically died because of a freak accident in 2014. Banksy painted a tribute piece after Robbo entered a coma he would never recover from in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulOiB3xEkzM&ab_channel=CosmicdaisyUK Bombing Philly series – 2010s Philadelphia has some of the most unique graffiti in the world with one of the only distinct regional styles in existence. Apart from Brazil, there's nothing this regionally unique. The Bombing Philly series from GraffPHL is amazing, I recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lcUmz2qHc4&ab_channel=graffPHL One Day at a Time – 2016 A great look into one day in the life of one of today's great writers, LA's Pemex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB5RGRUaHLM&t=577s&ab_channel=IamSugarbombing BONUS: ILLEGAL STREET ART TOY crew, Berlin Avant-garde "graffiti"??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HXtljXposo&ab_channel=TOYCREW Moses and Taps, Hamburg ??? Two amazing and famous writers pushing graffiti(???)'s limits. Done for Good Guy Boris' Grifters label, an envelope-pushing graffiti publishing house. I'd kill for their book on Utah and Ether. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2RGeqjHeCU&ab_channel=NOFUGAZI Rocco und seine Brüder | Street Atelier, Berlin Absolutely outstanding illegal street art. I can't understand shit because it's in German and I've still watched this three times. Shit's brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdG3k6WQ9Ow&ab_channel=IrgendwasmitARTEundKultur posted by Reddit User: Fearless-Currency-65 Visit artofreddit.com for more art #graffiti
