Montana Paint Co. Event- Los Angeles

333.saber.1.09.web

First of all, it was an honor to paint with Vulcan. He is one of my all-time favorite writers from NY. Secondly, Montana 94’s are the shit. Straight up, no bullshit, I am happy to use any paint available including mud if it be so. Coming from the days of watery Krylon, chunky solid Rusto, and moldy house paint, its a privilege to be able to use paint that has been developed specifically for writers and artists.

But….. If only there was a manufacturer in the United States? cheaper.??? I had to buy some paint recently at some bourgy art store and three cans cost over 30 fucking dollars. That means an average piece would be over $200! I never let my lack of funds or access to European paint keep me from producing more pieces. Hopefully these competing European spray paint companies could open their eyes to the profitable leviathan sleeping on the Western Hemisphere. It’s unfortunate that the American brands of spray paint won’t acknowledge that the graffiti art culture could be a huge market for them. We are the ones burning through cans, not DIY hipsters and little old crafting ladies.

Buy the way, painting at paid event is not a crime!!!!

Please find something else to do ….

  4. It is good that someone very big has spoken up about this. Hopefully someone will notice. If I’m doing a canvas or anything real pretty I always use fancy paint. I’m 15 and it really puts a damper on things when paint is $10.00 bucks a can and the lady at the art store won’t go down on me buying multiple cans. And then she sells caps for $6.00 a pack. Thats 6 caps! In all situations I hate raking paint because I live in a very very seriously very small town in Tennessee so I know wal mart and the hardware store notices it. Its makes me a nervous wreck everytime I go in, And if you get caught now days the charges are rediculous. Paint companys for the love of the sport please go down.
