I just started getting into graffiti type art (I’m doing a research paper on weather or not graffiti should be considered art) and i walk past this tag every day on my way to school cause my sister and I part a few blocks away. I always noticed that it wasn’t done with spray paint or a paint pen. I just learned today that it’s a paint stick. Idk why but I feel excited that I know that now.
thank you for the introduction to graffiti, i've had a client of mine talk about it in therapy, and it stayed in the back of my mind for the hugest time, one night, i came across this video, and 5 months since then, i've been gettin up in the streets, going outside, getting to know new places and practicing this wonderful art
Back in the day we made our own markers with any tube stuffed with school eraser strips, eraser strips used as tip and also as a regulator for paint! Worked everytime!
When I was younger I made myself a mop by popping the ball out of an old roll on deodorant stick, filled it with paint, then sticking a sponge in the end where the ball used to be. It worked surprisingly well.
YES, do the video explaining more in-depth the markers!!!!! it's really interesting how before writers used just pilots and shit that were used for shoes, and nowadays you have a lots of tools to write.
@Vloto yeah I'm one of those guys, I'm 50. I didn't know what to make of it when I first saw that firms were bringing out paint and markers explicitly made and sold for graffiti. It's weird living in the future , haha.
@@flordevloto9267 you know this symbol is really powerful. It gives good luck when ever it’s present just like the cross. You should look into all of the Celtic, Slavic, and pagan symbols and there meanings as well as the symbols used by dharmic religions and cultures like the how they swastika represents god, love, life and peace in Hinduism and Buddhism and it also generates good luck and good health. Also look up the algiz rune and some of the other ancient runes and why they were originally used and how most of them were demonized, it’s really really interesting. Edit: also these symbols keep away evil spirits and protect your from possession. That is why the crufix cross is always placed about door ways and in most rooms of the house so it is always present.
Hard paint sticks can also do good drips if you write slower on a hot surface. What he said about how much of the stick you want to use comes into play here as well.
Mops are my fave, I feel like Zorro using them. And I like the fact you can crontol the flow of the paint when tagging and allows you to chose how much dripping you want. Cizer is definitly one of the Paris most prolifig writer, it is nice you added him in your selections.
Thank You Dude! I've been teaching myself calligraphy and wanted to try some markers but had no clue what I should even been looking to buy. I really appreciate this content!
this might be a lame question but how do you peel the coating off of scrawlers?? every time i try, it doesnt work right and i get it stuck under my nails and the paint gets all over my hands
Nothing wrong with being 40..lol Been writing for years. Now it's in the blood. If I have to mark something at work it sometimes turns in to a nonstop..or just comes out. After years of writing you can't just have a marker in your hand and not have style.''Keep on writing ya'll"
It’s funny how some people are stuck in the tagging phase of graff. No doubt there are absolutely dope looking handstyles but to be stuck doing tags and slap stickers is a level under being stuck doing throw up’s and hollows. With that being said it’s best to be well rounded with a nice hand style a nice throw up and well a good styled straight letters. Don’t limit yourself to strictly doing tags and consider yourself a graff writer bro you’re a tagger and that’s it.
The only markers that I use are permanent markers , shoe polish , crayons and correction pens because these are the only markers that I can get in my location
@Rebecca Pryor yeah its like that some places, if you want to get good markers you have to go to an art store like micheals but theyre still very limited with what kind of markers they have
I feel like people need to understand that graffiti is not illegal, it is when you preform it in an illegal area when it becomes illegal. Graffiti is an art style and personally my favorite.
Gonna get some mops, slaps and solid paint markers since I've only had a big posca for a while due to my city not having graff shops and I'm super excited tbh
I always carry a 15-20mm pump action marker (sometimes stealth ink if I’m going day bombing) but if I’m going out to a abando or a legal wall or if I’m just going out all night I’ll normally bring A metal head and a mop
So now I know everyone on the scene in my town uses mops! So when I get started I'll hone my skills with yet a different instrument to kind of shake it up a bit.
The wool daubers go back to trades. I think some of these were a more industrial glue or rubber cement you may use on crafts like planes, but for dyes, the only thing I can recall is for dying leather. Which, I never encountered anything about anyone doing graffiti with leather dye, so, could test that out on surfaces and see how buff resistant they are. Would get dyes from a few brands, though, getting the same color from one brand tends to leave leather lighter or darker than other brands and may easily wear off on the leather for bad brands, so, like graffiti and other art paints, markers, etc., they do vary in quality.
@@yamahayou3852 take out the plastic ink holder things from some cheap pens or any pens, cut em up into relatively small pieces, put them in a cup and pour some nail polish remover or hand sanitizer in it just make sure it has acetone then wait a couple days and then it's done (that's how I do it atleast)
Back in the day we made our ink with carbon paper and Alcohol. BTW. I used shoe dye that had that cotton ball tip that you were referring to. The black was amazing for tags.
I'm 53. Not 40. And I appreciate ALL art. Graffiti included. As long as it's in an appropriate setting such as in urban centre's. I'm even a big fan of animation. Don't be such an ageist young fella
@@willchadwick4081 Wrong, Zero! I’m a Gen X’er! Jokes on you! I only wish I was a member of the greatest generation in humankind! Bahahaha! If anything, I would consider it an honour, pinhead! 😂
Yah the guy who made this video seems super ignorant and judgemental. Basically saying anyone who's older than him is a "40 year old". Who gives a f*** how old anyone is anyway?
Dude using one of your old flyers from early 00's.. I have one from when I used to come and buy fluids from you to import home to certain up people was wrecking Insides. Corio and black power was to fluid of choice.. Thanks for that👍🏾. That powder smashed out the stains for a number of years until new cars brought in...
Back when I was a youngin I was taking crayons and melting solid colors into a brick. Worked fit skate wax but also sticky as hell on multiple surfaces
All you need for the urban inner city street get up is a mop (even a bingo dabber from the dollar store) or pump maker, they take paint or ink. A plain cheap solid paint pen (markal b is good) is optional for ruff surfaces. making your own ink is very cheap or free, dollar store pack of pens ($2 max), any high % alcohol chemical ($4 max), this will be as effective on the street as any graff ink youll buy for 6x the price (the street is not a controlled environment or an art gallery). That's it, forget all the fancy stuff, brake fluid and fish oil is optional, don't worry if you don't have it, the ink yourve made will be as good or better (stainy) as any marketed graff ink already, any more potency is just a bonus. All you need is that pump maker or a mop and a bit of ink or paint (rusto is good paint, thin it with the alcohol chemical) but paint costs more, stains less and is slightly more difficult to get. Forget spray paint it's expensive and cumbersome for tags, for full peices obviously spray paint is the way, but tags are the future, thats just the way things have gone. Don't worry that you see tags in spray paint, these guys are older and you see it more in Europe, they are from a different era of racking the cans (from before all the anti racking mesures in hardware shops) and you'll notice many of thse guys have toy handstyles buy are just up a lot, they've almost all been to prison for racking, these guys are from a bygone era with way more pieces and huge throwies before the major crackdowns and they still move like that because culturally that's all they know, we respect them, they are the the pioneers, but unfortunately things changed, now the mops and your hand style rules, stealth is important, you can't have 8 cans in a backpack rattling with an anti paint fumes mask doing a 20ft throwie in the town center anymore, yes the older guys still do this but they also do prison time for it, and it's less effective than hitting 50 bus shelters with a mop, ride on a push bike. Get a push bike if you can, even people in cars have to jump out on foot to chase you, the push bike will win you 99% of chases, people often won't even try to chase to hard when they see the bike, literally dont get off the bike too often - even tag while on it ready to pedal away, plus you can step on the bike to get up high on the odd occasion to for signs, don't wear headphones, be aware of your environment and be safe people!

When you write with metal head I middle of a night on metal dumpster it sounds like the loudest sound🔊😅
you can NOT tag on wet surfaces with SOFT solid paint sticks...
With markals or ap hobos you can
Thats right streaks slide hard on wet surfaces especially glass I don't know y the fuck it says on that it will write on wet surfaces!!!
Exactly I agree
I have a feeling that you learned that the hard way 😂
Depends krink yes sakura solid no

Hi there. 40 something here. Just wanted to say great job. Lots of informative stuff. Keep writing!
daubers where originally used to apply leatherdye and thats probably how it has made it's way into graff
Never heard of those before until now.
3:46 Pump action markers for some reason reminds me of old japanese tattoo work
Useful content starts at 1:47

Which tip is better to use for tagging like where it looks somewhat to block letter or more really of thick lettering
Nice, im actually heading down to art primo in downtown seattle here at noon when they open to grab some markers and paint
Something worth noting is you can have a mop that's free flowing and not valve actuated.
Your lines are so smooth it makes me so happy but so sad cuz I have shaky hands
What about homemade ones bro? Im curious to know what u think about it!👊😎
Hey bro the ones that have different color ink coming, which ones are those? They look awesome leaving a trail of different colors.
Dabber my friends and I used were shoe dye, and a large variety of homemade markers & fat caps. Purple grocery ink ❤️😝
ur right about the dab one being for glue
