Big Time

Big Time Magazine (USA): The raw archive of urban art and graffiti expression from the American West Coast of the late 1990s. Published in Los Angeles, Big Time quickly established itself as a major independent fanzine, documenting without artifice the underground reality of the era. Far from smooth commercial circuits, this title masterfully crossed the universe of pure vandal graffiti with emerging hip-hop culture, offering exclusive interviews with legendary crews and musicians. Through its focus on American and European scenes, its files of obscure "zines" and its galleries of complex lettering, this fanzine offers a unique paper testimony of extraordinary rarity. It is an indispensable piece of urban history, capturing all the fervor and wild energy of the movement before the global digital transition.
