New book celebrates region's graffiti heritage - and city underpass brightened up by street artists
Street artists gathered for a paint jam to celebrate the publication of a new book showcasing their amazing talents.
Old So Kool - The Lost Years is the follow-up book to Old So Kool featuring artwork on the walls of Wolverhampton's Peel Street underpass.
Paul Pilgrim, the book's co-author and organiser of the 80s Old Skool Graffiti Facebook group, says the latest book delves deeper into the very early foundations of the graffiti scene with work dating back as far as 1983 and how the subculture developed over time.
He says: "To celebrate ahead of its launch we held a ‘paint jam’ where artists featured in the book came from all over, descending on Wolverhampton to display their talents for all to see, how the scene has developed and to also give the public a chance to meet the artists - as well as get copies of the last book signed by artists and the authors.
