The featured image on the newest T-shirt shows a graffiti artwork Sarah found on a wall along a hill going from Hoboken up to Jersey City, across the RR tracks. It depicts two women of different races in profile, regarding the viewer with a calm yet purposeful gaze and surrounded by smoky, mysterious jungle imagery.

“When I saw this image, I immediately loved it,” says Sarah. “It conveys a feeling of everyday women going about their daily activities and represents those women as friends, looking like they have agency, looking like they have business to take care of.”
Sarah James Jazz Merch’s latest release celebrates Jersey City’s size and diversity, its hip people, and beautiful spaces. If you love the city, you can wear this shirt to show your pride in Jersey City’s cultural glory. In the store, you'll also find tees depicting New York City graffiti art.
You can choose the color of your tee from blue, red, purple, deep pink, and dark green and from sizes ranging from small to 3XL. Thanks to the shirts’ concealed-seam rib cuffs, the sleeves stay put when they are rolled up, and their shoulder-to-shoulder taping and seamless rib collars make for a comfortable fit regardless of your body type.
Jazz musician and photographer Sarah James was born and raised in the New York metro area by a family steeped in musical traditions. After traveling and performing around the US, she moved back to the East Coast to pursue a career as a jazz musician. In the early 2000s, she began photographing NYC’s graffiti art.
“I have about 20 images that I photographed in NYC,” Sarah says. “Each image tells a story, is edgy, and most, if not all, of them are no longer where they were photographed. Graffiti in NYC doesn’t last long - either the Sanitation Department comes along and tears it down, or people just paste, draw, or otherwise alter the images.”
If you want to help preserve Jersey City's vibrant yet ephemeral street art, then you'll definitely want to check out Sarah James Jazz Merch's new release, "2 Women Jersey City."
