Kings Way The Beginnings of Australian Graffiti Melbourne 1983–93

A quarter of a century ago, the New York City hip-hop phenomenon left its mark on Australian walls-a graffiti-writing culture was born. In a barrage of blinding colour, cryptic words and bombed out train carriages, Kings Way tells the story of Melbourne's emerging underground writing scene and the youth whose sole purpose was to get up. Using the city's walls and trains as their ephemeral canvas, these writers pioneered the elaborate spray-paint artworks that continue to dominate Melbourne's cityscape. 

Over 1200 images of full colour burners, tracksides, T 2 B's and bombing escapades!

The quintessential documentation of Melbourne's rich Graffiti history, this Secondhand Paperback copy of the illusive Kings Way has been incredibly well looked after.
