Where can I buy "graffiti" markers?

What do you know about graffiti? Please read below!?

  • I've been a few places on this (somewhat green) earth and have noticed that graffiti is 1) everywhere 2) basically looks the same. I have a few questions: Where do graffiti artists learn their 'trade'? Where do they buy their tools? (ie- paint, markers, whatever... for that matter, What are their tools?) Is it difficult? (Judging by the stuff I've seen, it must be because there is a huge variation in ummmm 'quality'...) Have you ever 'graffiti-d'? Tell me anything else interesting about graffiti that you know! No, I'm not planning on doing graffiti...just curious! Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Graffiti is a really accessible art form for people who don't have a lot of money. All you need is paint or a marker and a wall. That's like, three bucks. A lot of people learn it from friends and just from experience. And you don't HAVE to have experience to do it-that's why it's everywhere. There's a large variation in quality of tools- the best aerosol cans are Montana Gold and Belton Molotow in my opinion.. you can get them at a few sites online.. or just Krylon at Home Depot. I would say it's difficult to do well but easy to do it poorly. Incidentally most people do it poorly. (Personally I've never tagged public property, but I do some of the same type of stuff on canvas, stencils and such.)

most artist including bob learn to graff by practicing drawing pieces and making different designs and then they learn can control and how to meld colors and use spray paint by practicing using it and trying out different caps and making pieces. the tools vary from person to person, some people just take a can of spray paint while others bring friends, walkie talkies, rugs and gloves. Bob brings paint and friends with walkies. recently it has gotten harder to get spray paint because of most states declaring war on graffiti, bob gets his from stealing it from people or getting people to buy it for him. Bob knows people that go out and beat up artist and steal their paint though. Other than the supplies are all house hold things you can get easily. As for the brand, bob and most of the people bob knows uses Krylon. The difficulties depends on the piece and your knowledge and ability to use spray paint. To do any decent piece you need can control, with no can control you dont got ****. Learning can control is not that hard but takes dedication. Pieces such as wildstyles (the ones that are barley legible to people who dont do graffiti, where the letter intertwine, stretched out and tend to have arrows) are extremely hard to do and take a very long time to do them and a lot of practice to master, Bubble letters are not that difficult, the straightness of the bubble and niceness depends on your can control, but anyone can do them. Coloring is easy if you have can control and the right type of cap same with shadowing. Yes bob has done graffiti before.
