This website showcases graffiti photos from Scotland (especially Glasgow and Edinburgh graffiti), and anywhere else I can get to. So far that includes Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Bristol, Brussels, London, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Seville and Warsaw. There are also photos other people have sent in, including graffiti from Holland, Canada, Australia and more. I also put some other photos that aren't related to graffiti on here occasionally.

Amuk KYS jailed for 18 months

Posted on 16 May 2:24 PM

Recently Amuk KYS, aka Thomas Stanley, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment after a three day jury trial at Maidstone Crown Court. This was for 12 charges of graffiti on trains.

Some news articles:

This is Wiltshire: Railway graffiti vandal jailed for 18 months
Kent Online: Graffiti vandal jailed for causing Ł52,000 damage to trains in Kent
BTP: Graffiti vandal who struck in Kent, Surrey, Wiltshire and Manchester jailed for 18 months
Rail News: Rail graffiti vandal jailed for 18 months
And a more recent supportive article in This is Kent: Outrage over graffiti artist's sentence

Confusingly the news articles give his age as variously 20, 24 and 25.

There are a couple of support groups setup already, on Facebook (Support Tom Stanley) and Flickr (Free Amuk). The description on the Flickr group I think sums up what's wrong with this lengthy sentence:

"As a first offence and with no previous criminal record, I believe the length of sentence was unjustified and his case is one of many recent examples of the criminal justice system giving out harsh sentences in an attempt to discourage further activity among graffiti writers."

For twelve offences causing Ł52,000 of damage, the average cost must have been Ł4,333 - which seems a bit of an excessive estimate, as is typical with this sort of court case.

The judge, Andrew Patience QC, has previously sentenced a plastic surgeon to 12 months for nearly killing a woman while drink driving his Bentley, a woman who fraudulently claimed Ł43,000 in benefits to a 1 year suspended sentence and 300 hours community service, a paedophile to 15 months for downloading child abuse photos, a woman who glassed her boyfriend in the face to 15 months, a man who stabbed his wife to 9 months suspended, and a police officer who downloaded child porn freed after 6 months.

The Book Of Tags

The Book of Tags presents the personal signatures of 150 writers coming from 20 different countries throughout the world. This selection includes some of the most influential tags belonging to pioneers in the graffiti world as well as others that represent innovative and experimental calligraphic styles. The tags collected are displayed in alphabetical order, one per page correlated with a caption to facilitate the deciphering of the different calligraphic styles and with the sole purpose to create a 1980's style graffiti 'blackbook' object, simple and essential in the layout and rich in content. The Book of Tags also consists of short introductory essays by five prestigious individuals: BURO DESTRUCT, BARRY MCGEE, OLIVIER STAK, HASSAN MASSOUDY and STEFANO BOERI. The publication ends with a black and white action photo gallery compiled and edited by DROPDROP [the publishers] in an effort to show the beauty and energy of the act of tagging in its original context.
