“J.SON knows the origin of every tag and piece since the dawn of time. He's my go-to guy whenever I need clarification on an obscure graff factoid. Graffiti 365 is destined to become the Google of graffiti and street Art.”
—Martha Cooper, photographer and co-author of Subway Art
"For someone who was in the trenches, J.SON has a keen memory for pivotal occurrences and moments throughout this movement." —Lee Quinones, artist and actor “The good news is that Graffiti 365 is on its way. We’ve had plenty of graffiti books by enthusiastic fans but not so many from actual graffiti writers, those who have braved the gritty tunnels, run from crazy cops, and endured or handed out beat-downs to put their art on the trains. Graffiti 365, by the notorious J.SON, also known as Terror 161, artist, poet, graffiti bomber, is bound to be a winner.” —Henry Chalfant, photographer and filmmaker

Graffiti 365 delivers the first real insider’s view into the contemporary graffiti and street- art scenes, as well as their antecedents. A wide-ranging survey of the international graffiti movement, this book uses more than 600 rare, previously unpublished, and legendary images to introduce and describe important artists—from Blade to Banksy—and styles—from bubble to wild. Along the way, Graffiti 365 covers different eras, cities, legendary walls and crews, police and public responses to graffiti, and more.
