After all these nonsense interviews of the last times with 3rd class writers or boring oldschool legends here is an interview that is definitely worth reading. An interview with Henry Chalfant and Tony Silver, the maker of Stylewars.
Beside all the reading there are a lot of pictures to be seen. Check it out.

This was a originally a radio interview on NPR’s “This American Life” entitled “Cat and Mouse.” With interviews with Earsnot, NYPD vandal squad DT Mona, and a mention of Revs tunnel paintings.
Here is a little video interview with New York City oldschool legend Blade. Nothing new is being said and no subway pictures are shown. So if you await this, save your time.
Subway Art — During the 1980s, photographers Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant captured the environment and the imagination of a generation, documenting the trendsetting street-art movement for the very first time. Now, after 25 years, Subway Art is available in a large-scale, deluxe format to heighten the visual impact of the graffiti captured within. With 70 never-before-seen photographs, all-new introductions, and a contemporary afterword, this collector’s edition explores the prolific and sometimes tension-filled rise of graffiti from gritty train yards to galleries worldwide. With more than half a million copies sold, Subway Art is the definitive book on street-art from its inception as a “social plague” to its role as a sounding board for young urban voices and up-and-coming artists.
Martha Cooper is a Manhattan-based photojournalist who originally trained as an anthropologist. Her images of graffiti and hip hop culture are world-renowned and widely published.
Henry Chalfant is a sculptor, filmmaker, and photographer in New York. His photos have appeared in many books and he has produced several documentary films on street art and urban culture.
Check out the Damage Agents trailer. A subway graffiti movie from New York City. As soon as I have more information on this one I’ll let you know.
The next Bomber 33/34 issue will be a double issue again. As said on the cover it’s content will be Sel, Hepa and a MB’s Special, a Trainspotter story and what interessests us Hamburg habitants most, the ‘Hamburg carcrash’. Must be something really mad.
Check out the little video interview with Earsnot of Irak crew from NYC.
