We are happy having received a new great art book for our collection: Bike Art. Bicycles in art around the world!
Kiriakos Iosifidis, author of the Mural Art book, managed to unite artists and people of different disciplines who all share one passion: bikes! BIKE ART is an effort to support the bicycle as a means of transportation, a statement of sustainability, as well as to celebrate it as a lifestyle that exists throughout society and across borders. On more than 256 pages over 250 international artists, illustrators, painters, sculptors, industrial designers, photographers, organizations, and anonymous citizens present their works of art and give us insight into their personal views and relations to these charming two-wheeled vehicles. It is a collection of colorful bicycle graffiti, paintings, remarkable bicycle designs, complex constructions, and various types of bicycles one can find on the streets around the world.
Our contribution to the book is a portrait of a good friend from the downhill team Vodkawasser and Knochenbruch. Painted after a photo of Jens Hogenkamp.

Sometimes it gift giving before Christmas. This just happened when we got the new book “Graff Wars” directly from Norway these days. - 3Steps -
Few pop cultural phenomena have had a greater impact on youths these last decades than the Star Wars’ universe has had, both in Norway and the rest of the world. The first Star Wars movie premiered in 1977, and as the movie reached the theatres, Hip Hop, a small subculture, originating from The Bronx in New York, started its climb to a world wide expansion rarely seen before. The art form – graffiti, the music – rap, and the dance – breaking, drew inspiration from the surrounding community, from books, cartoon, advertising and movies. Graff Wars will document the huge influence the Star Wars legacy has had on graffiti and many of its performers. The book will demonstrate how one single phenomenon within a world wide pop culture is picked up, interpreted and given its own artistic expression. This book is a tribute to the generations who have been inspired and delighted by, and dedicated to George Lucas’ fantastic universe.
With artist profiles of Pay2, Cope2, Kacao77, SiveOne, Doc Nova, Mr. Flash, Wane, Goal and Dime One as well as lots of works of 3Steps, Yard5, The Nasty Boys, Fok, Sotem, Bates, Smug and many more. A must-have for every graffiti and Star Wars Fan.
