I just use poscas :/ would love to try out some different markers when I have money

check out ArtPrimo online when you have a few bucks to spend, they have an amazing selection of markers (& all things graff). Fast shipping too. They have a shop here in SF now, but even when I'm on the East Coast I order my supplies from them.

all about not dropping $100 for 25 markers...

I used to use a Grog 10, OTR streetpainter and flowpen, Sharpie Magnum and some poscas for tagging, but I don't do it anymore, just sticking with the paper and canvases

they are like that because everything on that marker is replaceable, they are also re-fillable without worrying about color differences because the ink is so nice. So, in essence they pay for themselves in the long run if you use them a lot.

vs.

paying like 3 or 4 bones for a marker that is "single use".

i keep forgetting most of you are across the pond but if postage is not an issue, check out oinkltd. they always have decent prices, and they have everything graffiti.

i like them cus i know the owner but didnt know his company was so big haha!

check em. Oink

I just made a sticker

awesome cedric

Yea, i really want some fresh paint Bants81, but postage would cost a bomb D:

I would just use sharpies first, then once you get in to it more, get some decos, then molotows

like these?

Yeah, but those are only really worth it if you're serious, or you need a specific color. For instance, I use sharpies/decos for most of my stuff, but I use a Molotow white, because its the most opaque white out there.

Simon, i got a pack of 24 sharpies for £10 at rymans, not sure if the deal is still on though :/
I luckily had loads of poscas when i started because I've always drawn stuff with them ^-^

if you are just starting out, fuggin like raw toy then please dont go out and spend a grip on markers you dont know how to use yet.

to me the object of sketches is just an outline of something you want to paint.

but, my advice to new writers has already been posted to death here.

if your going straight to lettering and thinking about skipping handstyle practice then do whats known in the graffiti world as a "simple" or a "straight letter".

stay away from fills, your not worried about that yet, just do simple lettering, make everything even thickness, and height, uniform, ect...

go around and check out graffiti forums and pick what you like and try to draw it. this is the only time in your graffiti career when biting someone elses shit is ok. just dont clam it to be yours.

Edit adding flicks.




"Blast" toss


Brush up.


old name handy rock.




Regulating, haha fuggin 07 on this joint!

The 1810 Mob is doing a gallery/instillation at ArtPrimo in SF starting next week. If you live in or near the bay area and you have an interest in checking out the world of graffiti art, I'd highly suggest checking it out. They are a large crew, a lot of different styles and approaches to presentation. I have no idea what's being shown, but I'm sure it will be worth catching. The Zipgun and "bathroom" installation they have going right now is surreal.

Made this sticker yesterday, it was my second sticker so don't hate

I like it, nice and simple. to the point. i know what it says.

my only crit would be some of your letter thickness is off, and the high lights are wrong/ missing in places.

Thanks! Yes I know, the T is a bit weird, and the highlights are weird, can you maybe show what I did wrong with the highlights?
