Author: Jenkins, SachaThis book, 'Subscription to Mischief', collects 36 iconic graffiti zines – such as 'Skills, IGTimes', 'Can Control', 'Graphic Scenes & Xplicit Language', 'Hol e in the Ozone', 'Twelve Ounce Prophet', 'Hip Hop Tribe', 'While You Were Sleeping' and 'Futureretroistic' – into one indispensable volume that shows how graffiti made the jump from the wall to the printed page.In the 1980s, as subway workers scrubbed a generation’s worth of masterpieces from New York City trains, practitioners and enthusiasts came together to create an explosion in independent media. Fuelled by a photo trade that documented the burners, throw ups and tags of every major metro area, the graffiti zines of the 1990s helped solidify one of the 20th century’s most vital art forms. 'Subscription to Mischief' includes an introduction by 'Skills' creator Greg Lamarche (Sp.One), along with an overview of styles by graffiti ambassador Dave Villorente (Chino BYI) and a foreword by filmmaker and chronicler of the movement, Sacha Jenkins.ISBN 9798991621298.
