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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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"
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.
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.
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'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

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?
@@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)
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
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 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
Osgemeos rocks! Brazil represents!! This video was really great man but you forgot about slimers. But it's ok, I dont see anyone using them nowadays lol
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...
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.

@@AtzeArno It was some old house paint we had sitting in the shed, I don't remember what brand. And then I thinned it down with alcohol I think.

My go-to has ALWAYS been mops. I love to process of refilling my mops. But lately I’ve been loving my metal tipped grogg and Krink.
Back in the day you used a hammer and chisel to leave a mark.🤣

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.
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
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.

3:46 Pump action markers for some reason reminds me of old japanese tattoo work
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.
Just bought a ton of new graffiti ink/markers after this video. Thanks homie
Mops and markers are my favorite in that order gravity fed preferred
Dude I swear this is at least the 10th time I've watched this video. Good job dude
I always wonder about all this. Thank YOU for this video

1 thing you got correct is the DIY back in the day.. i used to fill shoe polish with paint to make a dripper..
Nice, im actually heading down to art primo in downtown seattle here at noon when they open to grab some markers and paint
I'm always making my own markers and inks for those markers , it's kinda interesting to experiment
How do you make ur ink mate
@@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)
Thanks dude, this is a great place where to start! 🙏
My 1st paint marker was A white Pentel back in the early 80s
great video keep it going
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
Get a raise blade then cut the outer coat
Always a good video from you 🤚🏼
This helped a lot man thank for the opinion and some what of an idea
Idk what happened but I hope you post more
4:39 that's a great one liner!
what a coincidence i was thinking of a way for my "Zerg" (that i made up before watching this) tag to look good and i see this.
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 start using Felix Seal tht rubber spray I start using tht as spray paint
Lol

ur right about the dab one being for glue

thanks man , all your videos really2 helpful .
5:15 R.I.P smash ink
Hey! Ease up on the old guys. I’m 50 and have tags all over Perth. No one suspects me.. . It’s brilliant
What’s the chance Josler still gets up in Perth?
Osgemeos rocks! Brazil represents!!
This video was really great man but you forgot about slimers. But it's ok, I dont see anyone using them nowadays lol
Also if you can hit up "SNOT" that would be sick, love ur channel
Excelente video🔥🔥🔥
Which tip is better to use for tagging like where it looks somewhat to block letter or more really of thick lettering
Something worth noting is you can have a mop that's free flowing and not valve actuated.
15mm chiseltip pump markers are my fav
Could I use a magnum sharpie?
Awesome video. Subscribed.
Ooooi, muuuums when I saw the thumbnail I deadass thought those were lightsabers 😭😭😭😭😭😭 mans tripping 😭

Broooo I'm fairly new to graffiti and now I'm improving decently looking back 3 months ago I tagged a rough concrete wall with a posca 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can u do tags with just an alcohol marker?
Ono I dropped my Baguette no unfortunately
thanks these markers are good
edit: the markers that you said are way better than the cheap 2 dollar one
Metal tips are my fav
What about homemade ones bro? Im curious to know what u think about it!👊😎
YO! That old TWIST tag!! ❤❤❤
Very helpful man👍👍
When you take the top off your mop to use the nib do you check if the nip fell out because if you do check you are not a toy works 10/10 times
Nice tips!
