In the legendary Dirty Handz films, he, his SDK and WUFC comrades, and fellow graffiti artists left their mark on European graffiti history with their extraordinary panels and whole cars. In 2001, he was forced to stop painting trains in France due to the massive and effective police investigations against him and his friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Painted Graves is a brand new series of books he created that offers a glimpse into his archives dating back to the 1990s. In the second volume, he dedicated the 240 pages of the book exclusively to his writer friends who have sadly passed away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e“One evening, I took a pencil, some paper, and an eraser and sketched a series of writings in homage to the deceased.

In short texts, he recounts their stories and shares his memories of their shared actions on the trains. These are complemented by high-quality commemorative works he created for each of them on discarded trains, transforming the train cemetery into a place of commemorative memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The high-quality linen hardcover is a personal micro-history of one of Europe's most famous railway graffiti artists, but at the same time an interesting answer to the question of how to preserve the legacy and memory of graffiti artists who left us too soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e We also recommend the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/astrofat.it\/en\/products\/painted-graves-vol-1\" title=\"Painted Graves Vol. 1\"\u003efirst volume of Painted Graves\u003c\/a\u003e and, for collectors, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/astrofat.it\/products\/painted-graves-box-set-signed-edition\" title=\"Painted Graves Collectors Box\"\u003especial limited edition signed box set\u003c\/a\u003e which includes an exclusive additional booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Author: Olivier Scuro alias OPAK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Publisher: SABOTAGE Editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Format: 22 x 27.7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 242 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Embossed linen hard cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Binding: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Language: English\/French\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Publication: 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independent Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45699787587772,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/7951\/1228\/files\/Painted-Graves_VOL2_OPAK-Olivier-Scuro.webp?v=1769183383","url":"https:\/\/www.astrofat.it\/en\/products\/painted-graves-vol-2","provider":"Astrofat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
