After a while you'll develop a taste for graff. You'll tend to learn what styles are home-grown from the ground up and what styles are overplayed. It will just take some time.

 

office depot?
no,they just have magnums...which although they look the same have some big ass differences
as for ups stores,yes they sell pilots,as i stated earlier :/

 

they have the jumbos or chisel tip? an cesk if your talkin about pilots at a office depot where do you live?

 

both last i checked,they're with the tape and address lables...

 

thanks man i kind of already knew that was the answer haha... and also im 16, and ive seen some nice shit comin from 14 year olds on this site, am i late? are there people who started older and got big? im gonna stick to it but i feel like if i started years ago i'd be so good already by now.

 

Balance-Most artists start about 13-17 I would guess. Just comes down to how creative you can get, and how often you practice.And looking at art in general will build your aestetic(sp?) eye naturally, so sooner or later you'll see the diffrence between good stuff and bad.
Kinda building off Balance but, about how long is the average time for someone to get good?

 

you basically just answered your own question, but...

(and there is a thread about this)

ive seen people writing for 4 years that absolutely blow, and people that have been writing for half a year that just have natural talent, and are ballin. probably like a year or two though on average

 

Ok, im overstocked on fat caps and i just wanna know...what arerosol cans, can i get skinny caps from, For example: you can get rusto fats off of elmers spray glue in any craft shop...but i cant find skinny caps on anything...

 

Just buy like 50 of the internet, it cost like 5 to 10 bucks, or go to a graff shop, it cost like 25 to 50 cents each.

 

wd40
Edit: u hav to get the wd40 thats have the size of the regular cans. also u can get that oven cleaner shit.

 

Alright thanks...

 

I just checked my local UPS store and they only carry King Size sharpies. This is getting frustrating, I guess I'm just gonna order it online. Isn't there that one pendepot website where the pens are mad cheap?

 

go 2 kmart bro. get bics. then empty em out like the recipes tellz ya. for paint markers go 2 the stationary part of a book store. they usually have them. its the only place that sells them in this country.

 

My problem isn't making ink, I know how to do all that. What I'm saying is I can't find any Jumbo Pilots. I've looked at AC Moore, Michaels, K-Mart, Staples, Walmart, Target, Office Depot and UPS today.

I know they are online, I just don't feel like ordering one off the internet and having to pay more. I guess I might have to though.

 

u check borders/chapters?

 

Nah. Why would Borders have Pilots and not office depot, staples, ect?

 

no idea. but like i sed. thats where i got pilots, pentel paint markers, and bottled ink. i checked all the places u wuld think to look. just go to the stationary section

 

Alright man thanks, I'll take a look.


EDIT*

Also, word on the street is you can get rusto fats on the elmer's spray adhesive. I got a couple and when i test sprayed them it wasn't really that fat at all. Am I getting the same caps? They have an orange dot in them. I used the cap from that 3M photo adhesive (its in the caps thread. its black with that yellow part on it) for a fill and the "rusto fat" i got off the elmer's for the outline on a throw i did. Ill have pictures soon.

 

the rusto fat i get off the elmers adhesive(a small blue can)...not really as "Fat" as Pink dot or Level 5 fat, but fills in ok for me, what can do you use it on, i mostly use mine on the Rust-Oleum metallic when im doin quick throws...


Hey, wd40 caps work...not as skinny as i expected but ill work wit em



Bags-how do you make your ink??...i have lots of try and fail attempts...i wanna make sonthing as permanent as i can get it..
