Twelve Ounce Prophet #2

Twelve Ounce Prophet Issue 2 comes from the early run of the influential New York graffiti magazine created by writer and photographer KLAR. Released during the mid-1990s, the issue captures the energy of the era when street bombing and train writing were still defining the city’s graffiti landscape. The magazine mixes strong photography of subway pieces, walls, and tags with features highlighting active writers and crews pushing style across New York and beyond.

Like the rest of the early Twelve Ounce Prophet issues, it blends raw street documentation with interviews, scene commentary, and blackbook sketches. The pages showcase classic East Coast graffiti styles alongside emerging international influence, reflecting how the culture was expanding worldwide. Issue 2 helped cement the magazine’s reputation as one of the most important graffiti publications of the 1990s, bridging traditional print zines with the global graffiti community that would soon move online.
