Since the magazine does not focus on a particular crew,
the pieces are always fabulous, featuring artists like Twist,
Kingbee, Emit, and Cycle. While this was guaranteed to produce jealousy in
the hearts of mere mortals, it showed the best graffiti
had to offer, pure and simple.

Southern Fried Funk is a zine out of Nashville that's high on
enthusiasm but short on content. The zine would be a lot better if
all the flicks were in full color and more varied, but it's still a respectable
glimpse into a scene seldom seen.

Stress is an insightful, smart, and extremely professional magazine
covering all aspects of hip-hop, especially as they exist in New
York City. While graffiti is only one component of the scene Stress
covers, their "Writer's Corner" and "Stress Files" sections serve as
glimpses into the magazine's graffiti vault, and
you'll probably find yourself reading other parts of the magazine
anyway. Additionally, Stress has a mail order section which
contains an assortment of quality graffiti magazines, books, and
videos.

and an opportunity to order some graffiti supplies.

This magazine, which goes out of its way to support local artists,

mostly about trains, along with interviews (Diem, Tem) and also
a terrific section called "City-Report" which gives you a great
amount of information about city's painters and what crews to look
for if you're going to be in the neighborhood. Additionally, the
photos are top-notch and most are in full color. While the main
focus is Europe, there are also some Old School NYC pages to cut your
teeth on.

This is an eccentric hip-hop zine from Italy devoted to graffiti.
Unfortunately, the layout is out of
control and the quality of the pieces themselves varies widely.
The picture quality itself is also sadly below average, but still
somehow the magazine gives the impression that the guys who publish
it (from Milan) care about the graffiti scene and aren't just out
to make a quick buck. While mostly Italian graff is featured,
there are also two pages devoted to the international scene. Since
many of the articles are in Italian, you may not find this magazine
worth your while yet.

Keeping with the European zine tradition these days, the flicks

Tuff Stuff is an all-around solid graff zine. Pages packed with color
flicks provide a pleasantly startling sensory overload. The reviewed
issue features a four page centerfold and a
solid show of Swet pieces (this kid deserves daps.) Every artist is
given credit for his/her work, which is quite useful to decipher
that all-too-common super-cryptic piece that you love.

This magazine plain rocks. The flicks are the finest, the pieces
will make you ill, and the presentation is professional and warm.
Under Cover tends to focus on the
NYC/Danbury and Colorado scenes, giving special (but well-deserved)
attention to the TWK/DF crews. Most pieces featured are walls, but
freights are also present. It includes a good letters section, a
writer's forum, a few pages of outlines, and interviews.

Underground Productions features good flicks from around northern Europe (mostly Sweden).
There are some interviews with rappers, DJ's and writers, but not
enough to ruin the zine. The main focus seems to be trains (not
freights!) because that's where all the best writing is
going on in the areas UP covers. If you haven't peeped these
foreign styles, do it soon. Visit their website for definitive
information and an opportunity to sneak a peak at the graffiti.

Wandering Minds is a small photocopied zine out of Ohio featuring
midwest graffiti. The photos, while often grainy and too small, are
clearly identified and include some high-caliber artists like Cycle
mixed with lesser-known artists from Indianapolis and the midwest as
a whole. Most of the graffiti presented has good contrast and thus
comes across despite the zine's photocopied nature. For what it is,
Wandering Minds does a solid job, although it could benefit from a
larger format and more varied and original graffiti.

_gz_desc_begin()
While You Were Sleeping is a graffiti magazine out of
Maryland, featuring mostly East Coast graffiti, with a sprinkling
of miscellaneous graff from elsewhere. The zine itself is clean
and attractive, the graffiti is solid, and the flicks are sharp.
However, the editors' unquestionable preoccupation with sex and
exhibitionism bleeds through the pages a bit too heavily at times,
making it difficult for the reader to focus on the art. Hopefully
WYWS will mature, and we'll feel less like we were in a teenager's
bedroom, and more like we're among graffiti's up-and-coming legends.
