JOE – JUNCTIONJOE (TORONTO)
EDITION 01 // LIMITED TO 11
THESE ARE NOT TOYS.
Produced in an ultra-limited run of just 11 pieces, this 1:20 replica container is a heavyweight print of freight train graffiti designed to last.
The Artifact: Preserving What the City Erases
Graffiti is temporary. Buff jerks, weather, and time eventually wipe away even the most iconic pieces. This edition turns JOE’s work into a permanent physical artifact—a tangible slice of Toronto’s graffiti history that you can actually hold onto and keep in your collection.
Painting since 1993, Toronto’s own JOE (aka Junctionjoe) brings over two decades of dedicated street presence and deep local roots to this release. Known for his clean, timeless letter structures and sharp execution, his style reflects years of grinding in the city's alleyways and yards. This piece brings that authentic Toronto lineage directly into your home.
Built for the Collection
Whether set against a row of blackbooks, placed beside your caps and cans, or sitting on a clean shelf as a sharp contrast to non-graffiti art, this container anchors any room. It’s an immediate conversation starter—the kind of piece guests will want to pick up, check out, and ask about.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly am I receiving when I buy an "Edition"?
Our Editions are high-fidelity, 1:20 scale replica shipping containers made of durable plastic ABS and alloy. Each one features vibrant, UV-printed graffiti from world-renowned artists. Think of it as a museum-quality piece of street history designed specifically for your shelf.
What is the difference between an "Edition" and an "Original"?
An Edition is part of a limited-run series featuring high-quality digital prints of an artist's work. An Original is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted piece. Our artists use the same materials and sprayspaints on these 1:20 scale canvases as they do on real freight trains, making each Original a unique, textured masterpiece.
How large are the containers?
Each unit is built to a precise 1:20 scale. The dimensions are approximately 12" x 5" x 5", providing enough surface area to showcase the intricate details of the graffiti while fitting perfectly on a standard bookshelf or display case.
Are these pieces part of a limited run?
Yes. Every Edition is produced in strictly limited quantities to ensure its value as a collectible. Once an Edition is sold out, it is gone. Each piece represents a specific moment and collaboration in graffiti culture.
