Essential tools for Graffiti: from Spray Cans to Markers

Graffiti writing, one of the four core elements of hip hop, is a powerful expression of urban culture, recognized and celebrated even outside its original subcultures. Lettering and street art are universally understood, but the roots of graffiti writing trace back to the late ’70s and early ’80s in the United States. During this time, gangs began to battle through their tags, marking trains and walls with Spray Cans as a way to claim their territory and showcase their style. Montana leads the way in spray paint innovation, offering an unmatched variety of colors and formulas, alongside other key players like Grog, Molotow, Krink, and the emerging Hand Mixed, all of which have left an indelible mark on the graffiti scene. Every spray is only as good as the Spray Caps used with it. Caps determine the flow, thickness, and precision of the paint, making them essential for achieving anything from detailed lines to bold, wide strokes. Beyond spray, Markers are a fundamental tool for writers, allowing for detailed sketches, quick tags, and bold signatures on any surface. Our catalog offers water-based acrylic markers, ink markers, and enamel markers from leading brands like Grog and Molotow, ensuring writers have the best options for any creative challenge.

To enhance the experience, Gears and accessories are crucial for safety and efficiency. Protective masks, professional gloves, and suits are indispensable for long sessions. We also offer tools like brushes and calligraphy markers to explore mixed media techniques, combining traditional artistry with graffiti aesthetics. Zig’s Japanese brushes or Sakura’s calligraphy tools are some of the top choices for artists seeking precision and creativity. Graffiti writing is not just a pastime; it’s a visual language, a form of artistic expression, and a way to connect with the urban environment. Selecting high-quality tools, from spray paints to markers and beyond, allows every writer to push creative boundaries.
