Hey did you know that as early as 1862, aerosol technology existed. American military later created aerosol cans that was used for insecticides when fighting in WW2. Did you also know that in 1947 a 27 year old inventor named Robert H. Abplanalp came up with the last essential part of what to become the prototypical form of aerosol cans, which is the crimp on valve. Like the coolest thing ever the man 
Edward Seymour came up with the brilliant idea of putting paint in the cans. This man made graffiti art possible! Amazing!  

So there are some essential materials that graffiti artists need, one of the obvious ones are spray paint. There are hundreds of different companies and thousands of different colours. What I learnt from my graffiti experience is that there are different nozzle ends. This helps you with controlling how thin and thick your lines are. Just because you have these gadgets doesn't mean your going to be the next Banksy. I'm not going to fib I suck at the whole freehand stuff. Thats why I stuck to stencils! Stencils are however time consuming to design then cut out. BUT the nice thing is it takes no time at all to spray and lots of locations can be hit with your design in a short period of time. I found that paper is the easiest to use, but they have to be replaced more frequently because after a night of spraying it gets kinda soggy and super stinky. Card board is great but longer and harder to cut out... yes I did jab myself a few times with the exacto knife :(

I'll have to admit I'm hooked! I will probably continue with this for as long as I can go!

So im thinking of trying out some stickers with my bee stenciled on it with my graffiti name, cuz i feel that the name is what sticks with people and can help a graffiti artist get noticed.
