Oahu and Phil America are preparing a new book with Alias Press publisher. Below the title “Our side of the tracks” they present this work in 70 images from 35 different countries showing us the romantic and artistic atmosphere that surrounds train-writing discipline, all in a purely photographic perspective.

A subculture on the rise and the first-hand, behind-the-scenes look at the people, considered criminals, who practice the art known as train painting, the last antidote to blatant advertising. (…)‘
