graf some Ghost

hey. i caught this a few other flicks of Ghost's work this summer off Haight and Stanyan in sf. good stuff. but was wondering, could this be the same Ghost with graf from Berkeley and SF at club Townsend back in 1992? 'prolly so.

just checking in- flix of tees real soon. sick as all get out handmade graf classics beyond anything you've seen thus far. limited editions. wait until hallow's eve. we're busting them out.

meanwhile we're wondering what to cover next in our upcoming September mixed magazine edition- letting Lyrics Born out of a parking space on College Avenue while he was in town for the Outlands festival, or catching King Britt at the Power to the Peaceful celebration in SF for free at the Polo Grounds September 6th...dag! or...maybe we'll be flashing some greasy goodstuff on the local roller derby scene- featuring tidbits on the East Bay's own Oakland Outlaws...or the custom moto cave Godspeed off San Pablo in Emeryville...whew.

Oh but, about Ghost...he's featured in the latest Juxtapoz issue featuring New York graf. But hey, we know better in the Bay.

"baby, get down up outta the dumps
let fun funk fanny flip flop
in ya' pumps punk crunk skip jumps!"
