MONTANA WRITER TEAM - GRAFFITI AT ITS BEST ///

[the book]
MONTANA spray paint is probably the world’s most known specialized graffiti spray paint. Since the year 2000 MONTANA supports a group of artists which they call the MONTANA WRITER TEAM. All members – SMASH137, KENT, CANTWO, DASH and ATOM – are internationally well-known and respected artists in the graffiti scene; every one of them has been painting for at least 16 years.
Since the foundation of the team, several times a year MONTANA organizes wall productions for these artists all over the world to do some PR for their spray paint products. Meanwhile the team has been painting together in Germany, Italy, Finland, Russia, Poland, the USA, Spain, Switzerland and Denmark. For the future there are plans to go to Asia, South America and Australia.
RUEDIONE, one of the directors of MONTANA and photographer for several years, has been accompanying and organizing this team from the first day on. And always in his luggage: his camera. He documents each single action of the team. His close contact to the members enables him to show their works and themselves from a very special point of view.
Thus the reader of the book MONTANA WRITER TEAM can experience the graffiti actions of the team and gain an insight behind the curtain of each artist. How does CANTWO live? Where does SMASH137 work? Questions that won’t get answered to a 100% but you will have the chance to get certain impressions on who they are and what they do.
Divided into two parts the book starts off with the artists’ portraits, each on seven double spreads, one of those seven designed by the artist himself. The following part is full of short stories of each production the team did and impressive photographs from RUEDIONE.

				[the author] RUEDIONE has been active in the graffiti scene for more than 14 years now. Being the CEO of L&G GmbH (MONTANA GERMANY) he founded the MONTANA WRITER TEAM in 2000. From this day on he has been accompanying and managing the team on their journeys. Additionally he has been active as a photographer for several years. In his works he continuously takes up the subject graffiti. “MONTANA WRITER TEAM – Graffiti at its best” is his first book. All photographs shown in this book were taken by RUEDIONE.
				[the publisher] The company was founded by Jörn Stiller and Markus Christl in 1995 as „Graffitiagentur Jörn Stiller“. The former individual enterprise dealt with interior and exterior spraying orders and the distribution of individually illus-trated marketing media, especially for the younger target groups of banks. From 1997 onwards, Jörn Stiller, a qualified bank official, and Markus Christl, a qualified engineering draughtsman, gave their full-time attention to the interests of the company. Since 1999, the internationally reputed graffiti magazine STYLEFILE has been published regularly every four months. This resulted in a greater diversity of assignments and in 2000 it was decided to change the company‘s legal form and name into „Publikat Verlags- und Handels KG“. Shortly before this happened the company had begun to publish books on the subject of graffiti independently and in cooperation with other authors from the scene. The books „Power of Style“, „Hamburg City Graffiti“, „Stylefile.Blackbook.Sessions“ and last but not least, „The Art of Rebellion“, which attracted a lot of attention in Europe and America, are all success stories and a continuous source of motivation for the launching of new projects. With the publication of the first edition of the STYLEFILE magazine, accessories, books and fashion articles for the scene were also marketed. Later, this lead to the STYLEFILE online shop with its wide range of articles and more than 30,000 customers. Meanwhile Publikat GmbH & Co. KG has 13 full-time employees, regularly including trainees. If necessary, the team can be supplemented by freelancers.
