UP44 is out!
In this issue we’ve got Taps & Moses, we’ve traveled to Caracas – the capital of Venezuela, we’re focusing on Stockholm native Iron Mike, Gothenburgs Catwalk and TOP crew from the Czech capital Prague. We’re sketching with Ikaros, met up Finnish legend HIV and got the story of how half of Brisbanes entire train fleet was painted this spring. Jacob Kimvall is taking a closer look at Allen Boys by Lee Quinones, and of course we’ve got the roumors, the photos and everything else.

As usual it’s art directed by me and distributed by Dokument Press.

Design and production of Björn Almqvist at Dokument Press new book Graffiti Burners.

From Dokument.org: A Burner is a piece of graffiti that is so good that it burns everything else around it. In other words, it is the best. In cities worldwide, graffiti art is constantly being taken to higher levels. The will to burn all resistance, to outdo all the others, brings about unexpected and amazing results. Graffiti Burners shows us how techniques have been refined and letter construction distorted, how colour combinations have blossomed and concepts developed. The competition for mastery is burning hot! In addition to amazing pictorial material, several of the writers talk about their pieces and what burners mean to them. Moreover, they offer tips and guidance to those who want to do a burner of their own. Graffiti Burners offers a unique opportunity to acquaint oneself with the progress of the last few years; to be inspired and impressed. In Graffiti Burners the world’s foremost writers show us their favourite works. In short, the best of the best! Aroe (UK), Bates (DK), Bio (USA), Kacao77 (D), OsGemeos (BR), Rime (USA), Scan (CA) and Suiko (JP) are just a few of the contributors to the book.

UP Issue 43 will hit the shelves at your local magazine dealer in february. As usual it’s art directed and produced by me and distributed by Dokument Press.
