Opened in 1986, Vancouver’s SkyTrain was a futuristic experiment in mass transit: clean, quiet, elevated, and fully automated. Full Auto: Vancouver SkyTrain Graffiti, 2001–2007 documents how this system became a sustained and coveted target for graffiti writers during the first decade of the new millennium. Featuring more than 120 rare and previously unpublished photographs, the book traces the evolution of transit painting in Vancouver, foregrounding both local innovators and the significant influence of visiting writers from Germany, Australia, Italy, and Denmark. Textual contributions from key figures of the era – including Samo (@curbazoid of @verytopsecret)), Idea, Kiff, Payes, Pubes (of @allkrazedminds), Main2, Mark4 (@saw_nasty_raw) Sancho, Kunt, Rels (@rellyrels / @therelsgallery), Ese, and Skid – provide firsthand context and narration. The volume also includes a foreword by Fento (of @verytopsecret), an interlude by Cecilia Terenzoni (@ceciliaterence), and an afterword by Matthew Zaborniak. Together, these materials form a comprehensive record of a formative period in Vancouver’s graffiti history – one that has largely remained unseen until now.
7.48 x 9.25 inches. 220 pages, full colour. Perfect bound. Paperback. Printed in Montreal. Designed in São Paulo by Clube Nacional (@kijeux).
