12ozProphet
Writing and Content Direction
You can’t fake authenticity. You can’t lead a culture from behind a screen. You have to be there. You have to bet on what you believe.
I first learned about 12oz in High School, lurking in their forum for a more holistic graffiti education.
In college, I began contributing to their blog, part of a massive Complex Media Network that published an insane amount of content.
Since then, I’ve stayed involved - assisting in the direction and production of creative projects and building lifelong relationships with all involved.
12oz has taken a lot of forms, but in the end, it’s a passionate and opinionated crew that gets shit done.
