Tripl a.k.a. Furious is currently working on his most recent project; Repainting Subway Art. This book, made by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant, is also known as the bible of graffiti and brought graffiti from New York to Europe. The original book was first published in 1984 and shows the rise of graffiti on trains. It's one of the most influential art books of its time and contains pieces of famous writers such as Lee, Seen, Blade, Iz the Wiz and Skeme. 35 Years later, Tripl is repainting each and every one of these iconic pieces on trains in Europe. Using the same colors, forms and shapes, he turns the original pieces into one of his own tags. Over 150 pieces have already been 'repainted' on trains mostly in Holland, forming his own version of Subway Art.
