    I just started getting into graffiti type art (I’m doing a research paper on weather or not graffiti should be considered art) and i walk past this tag every day on my way to school cause my sister and I part a few blocks away. I always noticed that it wasn’t done with spray paint or a paint pen. I just learned today that it’s a paint stick. Idk why but I feel excited that I know that now.

    When I was younger I made myself a mop by popping the ball out of an old roll on deodorant stick, filled it with paint, then sticking a sponge in the end where the ball used to be. It worked surprisingly well.

      @@flordevloto9267 you know this symbol is really powerful. It gives good luck when ever it’s present just like the cross. You should look into all of the Celtic, Slavic, and pagan symbols and there meanings as well as the symbols used by dharmic religions and cultures like the how they swastika represents god, love, life and peace in Hinduism and Buddhism and it also generates good luck and good health. Also look up the algiz rune and some of the other ancient runes and why they were originally used and how most of them were demonized, it’s really really interesting. Edit: also these symbols keep away evil spirits and protect your from possession. That is why the crufix cross is always placed about door ways and in most rooms of the house so it is always present.

    And I like the fact you can crontol the flow of the paint when tagging and allows you to chose how much dripping you want.
