Description: "The idea that one's work could travel across the country reaching new audiences on a daily basis attracted so many writers that today freight train graffiti is a vibrant and growing art movement all on its own. This book is the definitive history of this exciting and distinct branch of the larger urban art form. Until now there has been almost no written insight into the vast subculture of freight train graffiti, a movement so massive that it can no longer be ignored." "As dazzling as the art it celebrates, Freight Train Graffiti is jam-packed with 1,000 full-color illustrations and features in-depth interviews with more than 125 train artists and writers. Hundreds of never-before-seen photographs span the decades of the style's evolution, and the authoritative text from an all-star team of authors provides unprecedented perspective on the phenomenon, including the first ever written history of monikers."--BOOK JACKET.
