Kings Way - The Beginnings Of Australian Graffiti - Melbourne 1983-93

Photobucket

We really should have posted this a little while back, being Melbournites ourselves. 'Kings Way' is a book that has already gained instant legend status. The book has been a gruelling nine year project for graffiti experts (and writers themselves) Duro Cubrilo, Karl Stamer & Martin Harvey. King's Way outlines the beginnings of Graffiti/Street Art in Australia. Street Art is a huge sub culture in Melbourne and it is about time the originators gained the respect they deserve. Go cop this piece of history this weekend. Great job guys!
