120Pages is an independent A5 magazine dedicated to the contemporary side of graffiti, with a focus on the evolving European scene. Each issue is built around six “writer specials,” offering personal insight into the work, process, and aesthetics of featured artists—often designed in close collaboration with the writers themselves.
The second edition includes specials from X-ray (BE), Glas (DE), Ipuls (NL), Kushe (DE), 2Pay (CZ), and Perez (DE), presenting a diverse snapshot of graffiti practices across Europe. Beyond these features, the magazine extends its lens to the wider culture: Jonathan Pieterse (photographer and filmmaker, NL) and Friandisess (trainspotter and illustrator, BE) share their perspectives on documentation, observation, and the broader ecosystem of graffiti through both text and imagery.
The visual identity of 120Pages is as strong as its content: the cover illustration and an exclusive print are created by Belgian tattoo artist Tomas Redrey, accompanied by a set of stickers designed by the featured writers.
