    I was wondering if theres any other things that are needed or just useful for graffiti artists, I have like 30 cans, a bunch of mops, some scrawlers, caps and respirators, blackbook, blank stickers, slaps, stencils, homemade ink, like is there any other things that could be good, or anything anyone suggests from there own experience?

    Ladders really help, Cap cleaner (both to clean caps and get minor paint stains off stuff you didn't want to get painty), more caps than you can shake a stick at. Something resealable for mulsh, and something to put that resealable container in as it goes everywhere! Screwdriver for opening mulsh(I have lost so many keys its not funny) Bottle of water, Gloves, baby wipes and a Thermos flask for a brew.

    Don't get me wrong, not all necessary, but if there is space in the car.. it l come in handy at some point.

    Mulsh is emulsion, or roller paint. I only really play out with Tins caps and Mulsh. You can draw with Crayola if y have to. I've got a decent selection of promarkers for my bb.

    You have more than enough to get started. IMO all you need at any given time is one thing that can write on things

    good man, also remember that just cos youve used a letter and it doesnt mean suit the rest of them doesnt mean you should discard it, you could use it for another tag, btw whats in that picture? and how much was it all, having an art-supplies-gasm from it

    what are scarwlers those solid paint sticks? and why do you need 10 mops?!?!?!?! gmme one ;)

    is it corrugated cardboard? cos thats shit man you want the cardboard which is more like thick card if that makes sense? if not some plastic sheet, i pinched some from college cos it was sat there doing nothing and iits the bumb, its near enough invincible, i think its called PVC sheets, but im not sure. do you know what a art portfolio is? the cheap tacky versions of them use it.

    also ive remembered that post office places like royal mail and usps give out things with lil plastic sheets in them, try those?

    Yeah they are Junobo paint sticks, buttery as shit on just about anything they write on, and you need mad mops for the different sizes, different paints or inks, homemade projects involving ink or homemade nibs, you need lots of everything man, selections half the fun, I dont know what carboard it is but its not normal its thicker and harder to bend lol

    here in canada the post office doesnt even give free stickers, but I have a couple meters of clear sticker cover sheet

    Some mops look good with paint, others inks, some come out too drippy or thick, you gotta play around and find whats right for you, but Junobo paint sticks are fucking amazing
