Hello all, I am new here and am in need of some help. Basically I have made a promise to my kids (8 & 11 year olds) that when we get our new house I will spray paint a wall in each of their bedrooms, that was months ago, we are about to move now and they have held me to it, I had forgotten all about it, the thing is, I have never sprayed anything before, I used to mess around on paper when I was a teen but I am in my 30's now, I am ok (ish) at art and can copy things pretty well. Were the hell do I start to learn how to do something that looks ok, I have a matter of weeks to learn. They want me to do their names, any tips and advice would be greatly received…

So I recently had a conversation with my art teacher about setting up a legal wall at my high school or some where else in my town (pop <40,000). She tried to set one up last year but was shot down. I really want this to work but I need help convincing people in my town that it would be beneficial to my community. A lot of people are worried that it will cause the spread of people tagging into the area surrounding the wall. I just want a place for my buddies and other people interested in painting to have a rad place to practice and not get fucked over by the cops. Will this work? Have other smaller towns tried this? How do you run a wall? Would I have to pain…

Ever wonder? I don't really care/believe in karma so it's not like it's a big deal to me. I do know there's probably some more environmentally conscious people on the site that paint that i wouldn't mind hearing some opinions from though.

it seemed that there were some people who enjoyed my stencil flix in paper chase so if anyone was and any questions about stenciling this should get you on your way.. peace INTRODUCTION Stenciling is the poor persons’ printmaking. It is the easiest and cheapest way to print the same image over and over on different surfaces and in different places. To start off, the three most important things for making a stencil are an idea, something to cut with, and something to cut the stencil out of. I cant’ help with the idea part, but you shouldn’t feel like you have to be an artist to do this. One of the great things about stencils is that since each print looks the sam…

So I've searched everywhere, I've checked every damn store and I can't find ink anywhere. I'm in the US and I've checked Wal-Mart, K-Mart, AC Moore, Michaels, Walgreen's, OfficeMax, Office Depot, etc. Where the fuck can I find big bottles of Marsh or Garvey ink other than online stores?

How many blind graffiti writers do you suppose there's been over the course of time? If I ever lose my vision I'd probably write on stuff a whole lot more... Who's going to fuck with a blind guy anyway?

New Zealand has just had it's 3rd graffiti book published and made available. Following "Artearoa" in the 80s and a couple of years ago, "Inform", "Characters of the graffiti world" by Kane "Scream" Smith has just been published and released. 'Characters of the graffiti world' is over 120 pages, of full-colour photos (and 4 interviews with prominent genre'ed artists) based on the charicatures and themework of the graffiti/aerosol art culture. Where-as graffiti usually draws one's mind to words and letters, tags and scrawls, this book is focussed more on the character-vased side of the graffiti culture and not focussed on the words or tags at all-it's about th…

Okay, so, How the fuck do I do flares. I tried googling it but all that came up was every writer that wrote "flare". Do I just start pulling away? Or tilt the can? Anyone have a video or anything that can help me? With a good handstyle they look dope as fuck. Or is it a special cap? If so how can I mod stock caps to help me out if possible?

ok so i generally try to find spots with a bush or a hedge or something to hide behind when the cars are coming, which has made it possible for me to not get caught because in that line of traffic turns out to be a cop sometimes, so if your doing fills or even hollows does being seen matter? i ask because there are alot of street side spots i wanna do, and i dont always have a lookout...is the stop go method good? or is it better to just go and let cars see you and hope for the best?

I am not involved in any form of graffiti or street art, though I am extremely fascinated by it. I would have gotten into it by now if not for moral issues, I guess you could say. I made a couple small stickers, but they still sit in my room. I am not interested in throwing up a middle finger to authority or working my way up the hierarchy of the graffiti subculture so I can spray paint a crown over my name. I'm not interested in stealing paint or breaking the law. All I'm interested in is the art; the one continuous flow of paint being sprayed on the canvas wall of an old building. I'm interested in the styles born out of the rush to get up as quick as possible…

So I want to start by saying that I'm not proud of this story. In fact I feel very stupid for it. Anyways... Mid-day on Easter my friend and I decided to go paint a chill spot that we had been to many times in the past. It's one of many abandoned buildings around Ft Worth, this being the most famous of them all. We always thought that entering/exiting would always be the most difficult part in terms of being spotted/caught. We thought cops would NEVER enter this place, it's enormous and there are a million rooms. How stupid of us. So, we enter thru the busted part of the gate and make it inside. Everything seems to be going perfectly fine. We go up the stai…

I went on this street art tour in San Francisco and wanted to post it here to recommend to all of you. I've been keen on street art for a long time and even started a street art blog, chronicling the scene in San Francisco but I never really got the opportunity to learn about the actual artists who work on the walls at night (not the ones commissioned by the city). I heard about this tour in the SF Weekly several months back and took it. Russell was like an encyclopedia of knowledge, knowing everyone from Dan Plasma (who's apparently very much hated in the city) to C4 to countless other people. He told stories about the dynamics and going ons between them and how th…

Got some new cans, had to check some caps out, so I pop it on and try to spray and this weird purple shit comes out. It was like glue or something. Held the can upside down to clear it out and then paint came through after a second or two. The heck was that stuff?
