hi everybody. I'm new but I'm an alter so I'm not. I accomplished a lifelong dream last night and established my own graffiti wall. pretty excited to practice an entirely new art form.

lessons learned from day 1:

wear a mask. I blew my nose and was not happy with the result this morning.

graffiti has a lot more to do with layering and re-doing at this point. I have to do the bottom layer first and build on top of it to get the final clean result that I'm looking for.

cheap spray cans are cheap. I've watched a lot of graffiti videos on youtube where guys are using ironlak and molotow and they get this beautiful vibrant coverage full of excellence and then I rock some cheap-o krylon and results are shit. so i will have to move up after i power through these shit cans.
