The Hungarian writer looks back on an intensive trainbomber career. He summarizes the highlights of his creative phase from 1998 to 2015 in these 160 pages. It features solo and collabo works in Berlin, New York, Paris and Osaka, to name just a few places.

“Perhaps one of the world’s most notorious subway bombers, none other than Budapest writer Ekin, decided that after 15 years in the game and a series of graffiti videos Papas, it was time for his own book, which will consist exclusively of photos of subways from metropolises around the world that he visited during his career. This collector has done so much that others would struggle with for 4 lifetimes. Ekin subways, as the book is called, will contain 65 subway systems on 166 pages. Let yourself be surprised which ones they are, but given this high number it would be easier to name the ones that are not there. Now watch the video and wait.”- Graffitiportal.sk

Ekin GLK is a prolific train writer from Budapest, Hungary. This subway specialist is one of the most extreme vandals in the world of train graffiti. An adrenaline junkie, he challenged himself to paint the most secure systems on the planet; among them those of Cairo in Egypt, or Tbilisi in Georgia.

He first began to recount his actions and those of his friends in the trilogy of uncompromising videos Papas. Today it is in a book, Ekin Subways, that he compiles his works. Subtitled 1998-2013, the book looks back in photos on 15 years of panels and other whole-cars. Notice to system lovers, there are no less than 65 different networks here, a number of cities that will make your head spin.

A photo trip around the world from Athens to Moscow, from Japan to Armenia via an unmissable tour of the USA. A must-see for those who want to know more about the most radical discipline of graffiti: painting subways. In addition to the panels, numerous atmospheric photos and texts by the author accompany each stopover.
