The Best Drip Ink in Graffiti: KRINK

  • Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
  • We caught up with Craig Costello, graffiti artist and creator of KRINK, the notorious brand responsible for drip style markers, mops, and fire extinguishers.
    As a punk kid growing up in Queens, Craig would scavenge for supplies to paint the walls and buildings of New York. His desire to create larger pieces and invent unique graffiti tools led to the development of his internationally recognized ink and paint brand Krink Inc. Craig's signature style morphed out of his modifications and innovations with paint tools; using a fire extinguisher filled with paint and paint markers rather than spray paint, his style became an instant hit in many cities around the world.

    It's sad because he grew up in an era where you had to steal your paint and whatnot; it was cheap and he recognized that. KRINK is overpriced as shit, $13 for a squeezer (5:15), keep in mind they are only about 2.5 inches long and don't hold a lot of paint. He knows graffiti grew up in a poor environment but still makes his items overpriced.

      It seemed like,
      Jackson Pollock accidentally figured out how to drip paint just by using a piece of wood on canvas laid out in the studio floor and Krink used the same idea for graffiti ; only he figured out how to be Pollock on the wall by using the fire extinguisher as a painting tool!!
      Am not sure how good he is in drawing... but am sure he is one heck of a businessman.

      TheHumbleCrab Like many things it's easier to define what it isn't rather than what it is. And despite the effect that you two easily-insulted people got from my comment, I'm actually pretty open minded. I was more or less just attacking the pretentious manner in which he described his art. Sure, it's technically art. But I was making fun of how he was basically saying that the reason he started doing this drip and dry bullshit is because he didn't have the talent to even draw letters and lines. But I think you know what I was saying and just figured it was a good opportunity to show a small section of the internet that you "get" art. But here's the best part: No one fucking cares, and no one is impressed.

    Art is subjective .. the blue and yellow theme I liked .. the differing textures where need for blocking out in order to draw the eyes to a common point excites me .. sometimes it’s best to be your own biggest fan and critic .. I leave myself,my ideas and creations out for both ridicule and appreciation .. if I offend anyone and they offer me negative feedback I know my approach to that design/creation is mine and only mine for me to criticise ..

      Anything can be art. Just cause you say its not dosent mean it isnt. You might not enjoy this kind of art but stop being closed minded. You could say this is bad art but if you were walking down a normal street and you see a blank brick wall then you are not going think twice about it but if you see drip art on that brick wall its going to catch your eye. Its going to make you stop for a second and think about it. I would much rather see a colorful wall that is out of the ordinary than a blank wall of nothing.

      +VerminBourbon Yet this guy didn't move on from tagging. He just squirts paint until it runs and drips... and sells his own paint. I bet you anything that when he "Made his own Krink" it meant he bought paint, put it in a different bottle with his logo on it, and resold it.
      He says "I tried drawing letters or straight lines and it drove me crazy." So all those people making a living by doing murals... they are infinitely better than this douche. It's probably a good thing he made a paint label for himself. I doubt he would have made it as an "artist." You're right. We all have to start somewhere. He just never moved on.

    I got a little afraid while I was watching this video because almost at the end of it I was kind of getting the meaning of this dripping art and was thinking it was a really awesome message and exhibition, to see the drops of paint as life and freedom and was feeling I was getting attracted into them as if some sort of ulterior meaning was calling me back in. For a moment I thought I had become some sort of imbecil hipster, scary shit! >.
