Photographer/graffit artist, Ruedione spent six years from 2002 until 2008 taking photographs of fellow graffiti writers at night. His new book, Backflashes: Graffiti Tales aims at visualizing the feeling writers get when venturing out into the night to carry out their art. The book also features quotes from several other artists from around the world to show that this feeling is lived and celebrated by an international community. To read more about the book and Ruedione, check out an interview I Love Graffiti did with him recently.
