Over the last 2 decades the Carswell family have dedicated their efforts to the preservation of the culture and art called graffiti. Since it’s inception graffiti has been fighting for its life and its creators have been struggling to be heard. Despite being the only modern day art form originating right here in America, we were destroying our American art story as fast as it was being written.

Preserving and protecting this art form for future generations became the inspiration for The Dogtown Collection. By historically recreating their most famous art pieces from walls, subways, bridges and freight cars and being commissioned to paint them onto canvas. The Dogtown Collection was built by the most influential artists of the genre from early New York pioneers to Los Angeles stylists. 50 years and thousands of examples of talent, stories and art work are forever safeguarded within this collection.

Parts of this collection are currently on display at APEX Everett in Everett Washington where it is being used to educate individuals on the societal impact that the rebellious art form called American graffiti has made in the landscape of our world and why we should be striving to preserve this part of our culture.
