A MUST HAVE COLLECTOR GRAFF BOOK..LOTS OF PHOTOS THAT EXPLAIN OUR GRAFF BROTHA BLADE.....

The ultimate graffiti book by/about the ultimate graffiti writer!!!Blade's willingness to go 100% into full fearless, creative inventiveness—in such a public forum (NYC IRT subway trains)—is unparalleled by anyone who ever put spray to metal.Blade was immune to the type of peer pressure that resulted in a bit of stylistic sameness throughout the 70's. He cut his own path and used the subways to explore the outer reaches of his mind, and we're talking OUTER LIMITS here! One can only be completely AMAZED by this man's prolific and amazing body of work!Kudos! Kudos! Kudos!Long live the King! BLADE TC5!

Blade :KING OF GRAFFITI contains a vast amount of Blade's personal photo collection of his artwork.Some photos are clear, many are blurry and dark.His fellow Crazy 5 friends artwork is shown but there is not much else to see in photos from among the many other graffiti artiststhat he describes or was in competition with. I guess he wanted to show no others artwork was as relevant as his.Many photos from this book have already been seen in Graffiti Kings, Early New York Subway Graffiti 1973-1975 and others.Some of his childhood friends very personal information is disclosed which is awkward to read and left me wondering why it was important to reveal.Lots of people photos strangely have no captions.If you want to see many, many Blade train photos this is your book. For a more complete view of the New York's subway art there are better books to choose from.

All was perfect

Just for the pictures a must have !Nice storys too

Beautiful transaction.....love the book

Good stuff.

Blade was there in the beginning!!! This book covers very well the early days of graff. Blade remembers things well and he dont need to boast, because its all in the photos. Say what you will about Blades style, but he has really earned the title "King". The writing got me really into the times, and with the photos i could almost feel the combo of weed and aerosol in my nose. Ive personally met Blade and he was a great guy who seems to enjoy life and is proud of what he has accompliced. A must read for those who want to know where graff comes from.

A Must buy 👌
