Jocelyn Superstar: Bay Area Graffiti Book, Bombing With Tie, Amaze, Piece By Piece Documentary

Jocelyn Superstar's early passion for art and graffiti led her to San Francisco in the 1990s, where one of her first introductions to the scene was a lecture by Twist at the SF Art Institute. From there she started exploring her own work and bombing with spray paint and stickers. It wasn't long before she met famed writers like Amaze, and the legendary young writer Tie. Although Tie was killed at the age of 18, Jocelyn has worked to keep his legacy alive. Jocelyn has also documented the scene and co-authored the book "Bay Area Graffiti," which is high demand by collectors. She appeared in the 2004 documentary "Piece By Piece" where she spoke on Tie's life and legacy. Currently, she still creates art even while struggling with painful fibromyalgia. Jocelyn has many friends in the graffiti scene and still makes valuable contributions to the culture.

When I lived in the Mission in the 90s, I used to "follow" Jocelyn by finding her amazing stickers around town! I'd steal them off poles or where ever she put them. I finally got to meet her a couple of years ago. it was nice to put a face behind the art!!
