Jason Wulf (known by the tag DG or DGOne[1]) was a Queens-based graffiti artist. He worked as a carpenter and sign painter.[2]

Wulf started doing graffiti in 1985, making images of cartoons as well as tagging.[3] Later in his career, he began selling commercial graffiti through art galleries. He was the founder of a graffiti crew known as "New Wave Crew"[4] and a member of "Mad Subway Demons".[5] Wulf continued to graffiti during the MTA's Clean Train Movement era, when tagged cars were constantly being removed from service, and he was arrested 13 times.[6] Wulf died in 2014, while crossing the tracks at the 25th subway station in Sunset Park.[2] To commemorate him, graffiti artists tagged walls and made murals across New York.[7]
