Gloves
Gloves are a trusted companion for any self-respecting writer! They ensure that there are no paint traces left on the hands in case of any mishaps. Lately, there have been new types available in the market that offer better grip to the spray can, available both in disposable and multiple-use versions!
Mop
The Mop is one of the writers’ most favored markers, but it’s also one of the most delicate to use! It’s characterized by a super solid line and often has stylish drips. However, the tip is very delicate and should be used only on very smooth surfaces!
R.I.P. Tracy168
We are deeply saddened by the breaking news. One of the legends of the 1970s graffiti scene, tracy168, has passed away. As early as 1975, he was considered one of New York’s kings due to his innovative style, which many still emulate today! We will never forget you!
Wholetrain
Wholetrain: Toughest trainbombing move. Cover the whole train, no blanks. Hard execution, time-consuming. Letters can be tricky due to length. Power move: Combine wholecars with different writers.
Wholecar
Wholecar: Huge piece or a combo of many, covering the entire train. No blanks left, it’s the piece plus the background, all over that ride. Ladder often needed ’cause spots get tricky. Not for everyone, takes serious skills!

Top to Bottom
The Top To Bottom, aka T2B. You hit up a train or subway car from head to toe, covering the whole height, but keeping the sides empty, like, no paint there! Sometimes, the outlines on top might be missing for practicality’s sake. So, grab that ladder, your freshest colors, and a boatload of patience!
vandaleak new feature
Vandaleak’s brand-new feature is live and kicking! Once you’ve updated the app, you’re in for a treat – during your action, you can now record your screen for 30 seconds of the highlights you choose! Just hit that top red button and save the vid when you’re done with your piece. And don’t forget to drop it on social media, tagging our official profile!
End 2 End
End 2 End, or E2E, is all about a lineup of pieces by multiple writers or just one, connecting across the whole train’s width along with the background. Often, these writers work together using coordinated colors for a super smooth and visually stunning result. Remember, the eyes gotta love it too!
BackGround
In the graffiti game, the background might not always steal the show, but guess what? Sometimes, it’s that little extra something that takes your piece to the next level! You got options, from basic bubble fills to those super intricate joints with epic landscapes and mind-bending gradients. So, set your imagination loose, let those creative juices flow, and give your piece the backdrop it deserves!
Bloop Festival 2023
Just one week left till the Bloop Festival in Ibiza – our longtime partner! This marks their 13th year, and while the years pass, their approach stays true – a blend of anarchic vibes and urban art mastery! No doubt, this event is an absolute must-attend!
Mode2 & Teach new expo
You gotta check out the Unframed Art Gallery by the end of July. They’ve got a super dope Expo going on featuring works from Mode2 and Teach DDS. The opening night is on May 5th, and the artists themselves will be there, live painting! This exhibition is a must-see for all you graffiti and street art lovers out there.
Outline
The outline is like the skeleton of a dope graffiti piece, giving it that sick contour and separating the colors inside from the background. Usually, we use tight caps to get those clean, precise lines. Some graffiti styles, like 3D, ditch the outline altogether and still manage to look fly as hell.
Masterpiece
A masterpiece is the utmost expression of style and technique in the graffiti realm. It’s the most elaborated and calculated in terms of lettering and colors! Usually, it is also accompanied by a puppet or an intricate background!
Todd James Sculpture
For the exhibition that recently opened doors at Nanzuka Underground in Tokyo Japan, Todd James aka Reas decided to launch a new sculpture in PVC and ABS! Pentagon Pile Up will be available on the Gallery website during the exhibition. But bear in mind that they come in limited edition series of 360 pieces so it won’t be a piece of cake getting one!
