Barry McGee – Untitled Zine

Barry McGee is a San Francisco based graffiti writer and artist, pioneering the Bay Area Mission School art movement. Starting writing in the late 1980s within two decades he became internationally known for his brilliant handstyle tags as TWIST, his screw logo/moniker, characteristic heads, patterns, letter designs, sign painting and artworks which directly connect to the writing lifestyle.

Throughout his career he kept on publishing zines on all aspects of his broad work field, often combining and mixing several aspects. While broadcasting the lifestyle and pushing the zine culture these volumes became rare and looked after collectibles over the years. This Untitled Zine is the latest issue published together with Tokyo based publishing house Scooters For Peace. It comes in four different versions: “DFW”, “PVC”, “The Harsh Reality” and “THR”. Each one has the same content but Barry completely mixed up the order including the cover.

It features action shots, figurative paintings, daily life impressions, monikers, tags, throw-ups, portraits, and surf culture related photographs. The zine comes in four different cover options, each one including an own order of the shown content. You will get a random selected copy – the content pages are the same. We were able to get a few copies for our stock so don’t sleep on this one. Only while stock lasts.
