WISK ONE GRAFFITI BOOK

the first edition on the Birmingham Style files 01 featuring wisk one.

The Birmingham style files idea was born from a need to log and record some of the best graffiti writers that Birmingham offers. Our aim is to produce a series of 100-page books/magazines (bookazine’s if you will), which will feature one Birmingham artist per issue. This being the first of that series. Prints dead, I hear you think. Well, you are reading this, so it is not as dead as you think, hey. We certainly don’t think it is. Over the last 20 years, photographic equipment has gone from strength to strength, with some of the modern phones giving professional camera equipment a run for their money.

In this transfer of technology, things have moved towards a digital format. This is excellent in many respects, but
unfortunately (and I think we are all guilty of this), it has meant that hard copies aren’t being produced as much as they once were. Whether phones have been lost, stolen, seized, or people simply haven’t got around to printing stuff off before moving on to a new phone, there’s a considerable amount of material at risk of being lost.

The one shining light which has been a huge saviour of images has been social media. “Graffiti” has never been so
popular or accepted by the mainstream as it has in these modern times. It has never been so good! Love it or hate it, if there were no social media, graffiti wouldn’t be as easily assessable as it is today.

Welcome to the Birmingham Style files 01. In this first issue, we feature the South Birmingham writer WISK ONE. Wisk one has been writing since the early ‘90s. His style has adapted and changed over the years, evolving into something unique from anything currently being produced in Birmingham and the Midlands (UK) today. Wisk one’s straight-line letter style is much harder than it looks. Enjoy.

tery, something you don’t have to log in to look at, something you don’t have to have a digital record logged or cookies accepted every time you look at it.
Something which you, the reader, can collect, keep, pass on or simply just enjoy. This, for us, is everything.
