50 pages 29.5 x 21 cm Language: French Paperback May - July 2012
Issue #16 of Graffiti All Stars (May–July 2012) continues to blur the lines between street art, graphic experimentation, and visual storytelling. Over 50 full-color pages, this French-language magazine dives deep into urban aesthetics with its signature mix of graffiti, illustration, and offbeat editorial picks.
The issue opens with an unexpected feature on cult punk band La Souris Déglinguée, before handing the mic to Paum/Sarin for a darkly humorous Mickey of the Month. From there, it’s a trip to Poland with Jazz in Free Times, showcasing the textured, surreal styles of Chazme, Lump, Sepe & Sainer.
Back in Paris, Nosbé unleashes a visual chaos with Horror Vacui, while the In the Gallery section highlights studio work and gallery interventions that push graffiti beyond the street. Hopare’s scalpel-sharp lines in Belleville slice into the page with surgical precision.
Enter the Wall captures the collective pulse of the OnOff crew, and the sketchbook section lets readers peek behind the curtain at raw, unfiltered ideas. A highlight of the issue is the feature on Popay, the "Little Prince of Belleville," whose lyrical lines and acid color palettes continue to evolve.
Closing spreads offer a surprising pencil tribute to Tim Burton, an international roundup of standout Characters, and a Walls of Fame selection to remind us that the streets remain the truest of galleries. Rounding it all out, the Books Reviewsection points readers toward the best in graffiti and street culture publishing.
