DIAMONDS – Moving Cathedrals
– – –
The Berlin based DIAMONDS crew is a collective of writers who made a name for themselves by traditional stylewriting careers. When the group formed in the late 2000s each member brought in ideas and practices which went far beyond usual writing.

Moving Cathedrals mainly consists of traffic shots from the painted S-Bahn cars, which sometimes have been in traffic for days or only a few hours.

Besides the unique content the book comes with beautiful details like an debossed hardcover, oversize format and two different kinds of paper. A true gem and must have!

Original button campaign Vernielen is geen "KUNST" (Destroying is not "art"). At the beginning of the 1980s there was a lot of vandalism on public transport in Rotterdam. Therefore, in 1984 the campaign Vernielen is geen "KUNST" is started by the RET. In the anti-vandal center, young people are made aware of the consequences of vandalism.

Besides being a graffiti artist and painter, Laser 3.14 is also a poet, leaving his socially critical street poems on fences and construction sites. Creating poetry for over 15 years, Laser 3.14’s name is inseparable from any conversation about post- graffiti art.

When the city sleeps he takes his time to be creative. With pre-composed street poems on paper, he goes out and creates a piece of awareness on the streets of Amsterdam. Thanks @laser314 for this great gift! A real graffiti culture highlight which is now part of the Dutch Graffiti Library collection.

Vroeger was niet alles beter, maar… zeker wel de stadions. Die hadden karakter en eigenheid. De stadions die in dit boek aan bod komen – Beatrixstraat, Bornsestraat, De Alkmaarderhout, De Baandert, De Meer, Het Diekman, Oosterpark, Kaalheide, Nieuw Monnikenhuize, Sportpark Noord en Zuiderpark – zijn voor veel voetbalgeneraties een tweede thuis geweest. De ziel van de club was gebeiteld in de tribunes en terug te zien in de graffiti.

De Uitbraak, Space is the Place, Rotterdam, 1985 commercial job by Gian and Gavin ETA crew. 'De Uitbraak' was a youth center in South Rotterdam located at De Slinge where New Wave music was played. At the end of the 1980s, the New Wave atmosphere disappeared and 'De Uitbraak' centre was named Pompeii and more and more the 'gabbers' took over the building.

Wednesday, 1 January 1986, New York City. The New Year's Day walk 37 years ago as described and photographed by Disz (RIP) and published in the book Disz The first Dutch writer bombing the New York City subway.

"Today I went on the 2-line and went to Brooklyn and there I also went on the 3-line check things out but there wasn’t much graffiti at all. From the B-Line I got on the A-Line with the intention to go through another area of Brooklyn but I got on the train that went the wrong way. I could have changed over easily but I decided to stay in the train and went to 125th Street in Harlem, where I got off the train. Before I got on the A-Line I had to change from train to train and so got on the L-Line which is only a short connection line but there was a really def piece by ‘Kev’ with a devil with it. When I walked through 125th Street it was good to see that the place Bobby Robinson and Paul Winley which I only knew from ‘The Rap Attack’ are still around. They weren’t open today because it’s a holiday and that’s probably why there wasn’t much happening there but I will be back. Walking on the street one female ask me whether I wanted a ‘clear’ whatever that may be. I was asked whether I wanted ‘Roxanne’ or ‘Bar’, by two dudes, which I think is dope. I’m not familiar with their terms but still I don’t feel the need to buy any dope. On my way to 34th Street of course I had to go past the ‘Eye of the Tiger’ and have a look and I also had another look at the pieces on the schoolyard there and I tried to figure out on how to reach them so I can take a photo of em cause they’re bad. Around the school I discovered the tags of Doze and Dondi and especially by the last one I was impressed cause I still would like to get down with Dondi. The tags of Doze and Dondi remanded me of the writing of the Ex Vandals that I saw in Brooklyn."

We wish everyone a very happy New Year. Many thanks for the support, and we look forward to 2023!

Merry X-mas, Panic in R'dam, 1988 by Saine published in FreeStyle magazine.

In April 1987 'FreeStyle magazine' is launched in the Netherlands. An A4 to A5 folded zine characterized by the light blue cover. No fewer than 32 editions appeared in the period 1987 – 1990. In November 1989, with the production of #20, the characteristic A5 format was abandoned and it appeared on A4.

Holland Graffiti in 1987 was the first major retrospective of graffiti art featuring work by writers from the Netherlands. From the street to the museum was literally what happened, writers translated what they had created the night before on desolate train stations, in abandoned tunnels or on the street to the wooden canvas.

Today we received a nice set with hunderd plus photos from the period 1986/87 Amsterdam and Zoetermeer. The great thing about this set is that it contains many distance photos and not just clean pieces, but also the further development of layers with tags and battered work. Taken and high-quality finished, credits @hugomulder_dhm Thanks for this digital adjustment to the collection much appreciated.
