Zine i made about the culture of painting on commuter trains in Latvia

Latvia is a small country. And because of the nature and illegality of trainwriting, it tends to stay inside close, tight-knit circles of people. No posting online, no sharing with wrong people. Hence the name “for me and my homies only”

It felt important to me to share those captured moments, and let people peek into that world. All around the world it is documented and widespread, but never before in Latvia.

Turned out to be a great success, and sold more than 300 copies, mainly through word of mouth, and a couple of zine fairs! But the best thing, is leaving a footprint in this small, niche subculture of painting on trains.

this Zine is also dedicated to soviet RVR trains, which are beloved in train enthusiast communities, and a farewell to them, as they’re actively put out of service

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
