OIN TOGETHER ENTERPRISES (BROOKLYN)
The Golden Age of Graffiti (“GAG”), a subdivision of Join2Gether Enterprises (J2G), announces the release of a first ever, Bobblehead Dolls, of the renowned Graffiti artist Blade I (see attached ad). The creation of the bobbleheads are collaboration between Blade I and GrafKing Shadow, a member of The Rebels (Graf Crew 1973-1979). Shadow is featured in Stations of the Elevated, Manny Kirshner’s groundbreaking graffiti documentary, and is recently seen in Graffiti 365 (p. 167) at the most famous Graf high school ever — Art & Design.
J2G is a community-based organization in the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill area of Brooklyn. We are merchandisers of retro/Americana clothing and items of memorabilia, blending old and new elements into a fashionable statement with a nostalgic note. Through sales of the bobblehead dolls, we plan to raise funding for youth-oriented (anti-felony) art programs. Apart of our goal is to give graf a Positive image.

Vancouver is very interesting! Feels like Montreal minus the Rain, French influence and amount of graffiti.. Did not see one single mark left by any Americans! Most of these pictures are from Gas Town!!! If you want some culture shock, check out the lower east side of Gas Town, Just keep your hoods up and don’t look anyone in the eye!! Enjoy!!
