Procreate App
The number one app for tablet drawing. Loaded with features and brushes, it’s simple and intuitive, helping improve your style without paper and pen. Check it out in the app store!
Skinny Cap
For those doing legal graffiti work, the skinny cap is the top choice. In the Hall of Fame, when you’ve got more time, these are the most popular. They provide a thin, precise line and tend to use less spray paint. Give it a try and see the difference!
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!
Kickit @ Dumbo Bologna
This Sunday, October 1st, catch us with our official stand at Kickit – Italy’s prime event for sneaker culture and streetwear. We’ll be taking over Dumbo in Bologna. We’ll showcase our new Streetwear line, and we’ve got some gadgets and vouchers for gems and credits. Don’t miss out!
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.

DB Robot
German railway company DB is testing a new surveillance system for train depots in Munich! They’ve introduced a robot equipped with cameras and AI to patrol independently and monitor parked trains!
Monochrome is Back
The famous Monochrome video series by Spraydaily is back on YouTube! Episode 101 featuring London writer TwoRise has finally been released! A must-watch, sponsored by Montanacans!
Wax Marker
The Wax marker started as an industrial marker but obviously evolved and made its way into graffiti! From simple Sakura, we’ve moved on to the colorful Handmixed, which, as the brand suggests, are sectioned and assembled by hand! They’re definitely among the coolest markers right now!
Paint Marker
The Paint marker is one of the most used! It definitely offers the widest range of colors available! On smooth surfaces, it really gives its best and unleashes all its power!
Ink Marker
The Ink marker is absolutely the most penetrating! As a matter of fact, porous surfaces are really the best suited for this type of pen. Truly a nightmare for every buffer!
Broad Tip Marker
This type of marker in highly demand by calligraphers and handstylers! Thanks to its classic chisel tip, it allows writing in multiple strokes with just a single marker! Definitely a must-try!
DHL in the wiewfinder
Lately, there’s a new trend among German writers! More and more DHL vans are being hit with ever more colorful and sick pieces! We definitely like them better multicolored than in their classic yellow livery !
Squeeze Marker
It’s one of the most sought-after markers out there! A real must-have for every true tagger! Its main feature is the iconic dripping line! One of the most famous exporters of these markers is definitely Krink, whose squeeze markers have won over half the world!
Los Angeles Skyscrapers
Anyone who’s scrolled through social media can’t have missed what happened in Los Angeles! Newscasts and online platforms are all talking about the abandoned skyscrapers filled with graffiti and used by base jumpers! Truly an open-air gallery!
Metal Tip Marker
This marker is the toughest one on the market! Its metal tip writes practically anywhere thanks to a ballpoint system just like any regular pen, but with much more powerful ink! They usually have a creamier mix compared to standard markers, allowing for raised texture lines that you can actually feel!
750ml Cans
For the real bombers, there’s an even bigger, high-pressure option – the 750ml. It lets you pack the most paint in a single can! The Maximo from MontanaColors, especially their limited edition collab with Krink, is a total blast!
600ml Cans
Need to fill space faster? The 600ml is what you’re looking for! Bigger but still easy to handle, it lets you carry more paint around. It’s got more pressure than your average spray, letting you use up all that paint inside.
400ml Cans
These are the classic sprays, hands down! Super handy and ergonomic, perfect for anything from tagging to filling or outlining! A good quality spray usually covers about 3 square meters.
Tell Me Why
Check out the new release on Spraydaily! “Tell me Why” takes us straight to the Czech Republic with tons of train and metro action, all in perfect Eastern European style and stunning locations. Definitely a must-see!
High Pressure Cans
High-pressure sprays are the real deal for hardcore bombers! They’re trickier to use but let you work super fast. But don’t think they can’t do fine lines – the best writers can still make magic even with these powerhouses! Top choices here include MontanaColors’ Hardcore, Kobra, and the super speedy Nbq Fast!
