Does any spot in NYC carry Garvey? Or can it just be bought online?

Sure we could do some tradin'. I don't get corio, 'cus it can't be racked. simple as that. Only sold in graffiti stores in Sweden. I get alkej instead. it's pretty ok, drips as a motherfucker and is quite ok. Comes in bottles of one liter though, which makes it kinda hard to rack from time to time.... Sweden has some pretty strong enviromental-laws so all nice additives and even my favorite ink was outlawed in the mid 90. However you can still order it from germany or the UK. Never tried that though....

to get satisfying results with a pilot you have to let it "drip off". i'm too lazy for that ;) Personally, i've never spent a cent (or a krona) for markers or ink. But If you have the cash, why not?

the grass is always greener on the other side, it seems :) I'm from Sweden, and i've been drooling over some of the shit you've posted in this thread (garvey, marsh and fiebings - never seen that shit ard here). On the other hand you don't seem to have as high standards in markers as we do. I use Artline poster-markers for all my needs and i must say they're great. i personally wouldn't be cuaght dead using a pilot, considering the time and effort needed to refill those. It would really be a great experience testing what you guys use. And i'd love to share my own experiences of how we do it in Sweden. :)
