Graffiti Supplies Masks

Can you do graffiti on paper?

I wanna start doing graffiti, with spray paint, but i dont know anything about this type of stuff...
so can u do it on paper, cuz i dont wanna do it on walls,
i was thinking about typing a bunch of poster boards paper together, cuz i want a bunch of room
do u think it would work, just to tell you im going to use spray paint, also can u tell me what supplies im going to need, like a mask since im a beginner and im 13... any supply in going to need
any addition info about graffiti would help ^__^
thx

Yeah , you can do it on papper, just remember that papper has a quality about it that really soaks up the paint and may bleed out the colors if you saturate a spot so keep it moving and practice what we call "CAN CONTROL". If you use Poster Board, paint on the "slick" (shinny) side.
Keep your cans @ room temperature and when your done using them, ALWAYS tilt your cans upside down and spray out left over paint that collects in the CAP till it's just aerosol that comes out and not paint, this ensures a "clog free" cap that's clean to use again.

Yes, please do sport a mask and don't feel that it's not cool to sport one. A lot of veteran artist I know, wish they were a lil smarter about that and are paying the price today with health issues.

Later on when you feel comfortable with your skills, try "piecing" on ply wood. Just make sure you seal the wood with a coat of white latex paint like you use for house painting, it helps "primer" the surface for a cleaner application of you spray paint.

A tradition for "GRAFF ARTISTS" is to have a "BLACK BOOK". It's a black hard back cover drawing pad where a lot of your concept pieces are first drawn out and usually a few reserved pages are left for fellow artists to rock a piece or leave their tags in. It's a gesture of brotherhood within the culture to share pieces in another artist's black book.

Have fun and don't do anything stupid. "DREN" a.k.a. "KUTZ"

How to Use a Spray Paint

Art with spray paint is an new urban art form that utilizes spray paint as its medium. It is an art form that often depicts science fiction scenes or fantasy environments; the art relies highly on random effects produced by the spray paints. It is similar to graffiti in the fact that it incorporates the use of aerosol paints, but it also differs in the fact that the art is painted on more traditional art surfaces like poster board rather than walls or trains. Also it is often painted for commercial purposes.
Usually a glossy white poster board is used as a painting surface, though; almost any flat surface can be used. The artist will usually perform in a well ventilated area but will still also suit up with a gas mask and a pair of gloves to minimize exposure to the harmful vapors and irritants (For a list of materials click here: spray paint art). Layers of paint are sprayed down unto the poster board surface, usually in order of lightest color to darkest. The artist will then take a magazine page and place it unto the fresh paint. After a second or two the artist will remove the magazine to create a random texture.
Afterwards they will usually lay down any predefined stencils; the stencils can be anything from intricate cutouts to ice cream lids that are used to make planets (To see examples, visit awholenotherstudio.com). After desired stencils have been laid the artist will then proceed to add the next layers which will be seen as the back ground. After a background has been laid the artist will go on to create the bulk of the picture consisting of anything from a mountain range and a forest to a futuristic city.
Art with spray paint is usually performed quickly in front of a large crowd in busy metropolis areas. A full sized painting can usually be made in 15 minutes and then sold to bystanders at a price usually around 20 dollars. On busy days an artist could earn anywhere from 200 to 1000 dollars, which massively outweighs the cost of paint supplies (40 -50 dollars). Overall, this art is relatively simple and is even often considered low art because of its lack of detail.
