Graffiti Utility Backpack Is Cheaper Than Posting Bail – LOL!
Carry your cans, without carrying the can
With Sprayground’s Graffiti Utility Backpack, you’ll never get caught leaving the scene of an art crime again. A zip-open section holds eight spraycans in their own individual compartments, and if you have an assistant wearing the bag they’ll all be right there in front of you, ready to hand.
Inside is a laptop pouch, plus storage for two more cans (pepper spray to help you escape, perhaps?) and your tips. There are even stowable skateboard straps so you can carry your escape vehicle with you (sorry, assistant. Thanks for your help. Sucka!).
So if you can manage to keep paint off the outside (and you remember to wear some latex gloves), you’ll be able to outfox the cops every time. After all, who would stop and search somebody wearing such a plain and stylish, 16 ounce cotton canvas bag, complete with stabilizing sternum strap?
The Graffiti Utility Backpack is available now, for $69. That’s a lot cheaper than bail.

graffiti writer sentenced to 180 days in jail
The graffiti writer known as Revok, whose work is displayed in the “Art in the Streets” exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art, was sentenced Monday to 180 days in jail after a judge found that he had violated the terms of his probation in a previous vandalism conviction, court officials said.
Jason Williams, 34, also known as Revok, appeared in a Van Nuys courtroom Monday where he was found to have violated his probation on a misdemeanor vandalism charge by failing to pay adequate restitution to his victims, according to prosecutors.
Williams was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport last Thursday as he prepared to board a plane for Ireland.
His arrest came amid controversy surrounding the museum’s “Art in the Streets” graffiti and street art exhibition, which the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have criticized as promoting vandalism and tagging.
Sheriff’s investigators said they are conducting a wide investigation into Revok.
“As a result of evidence discovered during his April 21 arrest, other incidents of vandalism were found in the county of Los Angeles,” said Capt. Mike Parker.
Investigators said the L.A. County district attorney’s office could file felony charges against Williams, who was arrested by a sheriff’s transit team that specializes in catching vandals.
The team recently arrested Cristian Gheorghiu, also known as Smear, another tagger-turned-artist. Gheorghiu received 45 days’ community service for violating his probation. He was arrested two days after The Times published a story on his life as an artist with tagging roots.
Revok is among the best known and boldest taggers in Los Angeles. Williams, a one-time member of the graffiti crew “Mad Society Kings” or MSK, was arrested in 2009 in Melbourne, Australia, after a series of highly publicized large pieces.
A resident of the Fairfax district, Williams was placed on probation for felony vandalism in Indio in 2009 during the Coachella music festival.
He also was arrested in November 2009 by deputies near the 33rd Graffiti Art Store, where images of his graffiti were featured. During a later search of Williams’ home, deputies found several hundred paint cans, a police badge and a fire extinguisher — a tool commonly used for applying large tags.
Graffiti Designs + Styles: Tagging, Bombing, Painting
Tag

Tagging is the simplest type of graffiti, consisting of the writer's street name in one color. Tags are basically the graffiti writer's signature; if they're associated with a crew, they might also contain the crew's name or initials. Tags can be seen everywhere and are done in spray paint, markers or pens. If a tag is put up over another writer's tag or piece, it's extremely disrespectful.Throw-Up

A throw-up is a little more complicated than a tag, usually having two or three colors, but not nearly as elaborate as a piece. A throw-up is something that can be done quickly and repeatedly, while still identifying the writer. They're usually done in bubble letters, often in one color with a differently-colored outline. When a graffiti writer goes out bombing, they're usually either putting up tags or throw-ups all over their area.Stencil

Using stencils is a quick and effective way to put up somewhat-complicated pieces very quickly. By holding the stencil against the wall and spraying, you can get a much more detailed picture than you would be able to with just a spray can. Even if you use two or three layers to make a more colorful and intricate picture, stencil graffiti can be thrown up in a matter of minutes. This is the type of graffiti that was made popular by the likes of Blek le Rat and Banksy and has now taken hold with graffiti writers everywhere.Stickers (Slaps)

Stickers are a quick and easy (some say lazy) way to throw up a tag quickly. Graffiti writers used to use the "Hi, My Name Is" name tag stickers, but these days it's also common to see them on the free address labels you can get from the Post Office. It's just as likely to see elaborate, professional-looking printed stickers with a message or image plastered all over. Graffiti artists like stickers because they can take their time on the art in private, then quickly slap them up wherever.Wildstyle

Wildstyle is a particular style of writing that was developed and popularized by graffiti artists like Tracy 168, Stay High 149 and Zephyr in New York City. It's a complicated and extremely stylized form of writing that, to the untrained eye, is not easy to read. Wildstyle writing features arrows, spikes, curves and other elements that non-graffiti artists may have a hard time understanding. Wildstyle pieces are often 3D and considered to be one of the most complicated forms of graffiti.Piece
(images via: fooishbar, ash-man, Marshall Astor & Caneles)
A piece (short for masterpiece) is a graffiti painting, much more complex than a tag and having at least three colors. Pieces are hard to do illegally because of the time and effort involved, so a good piece will gain a lot of respect for that particular graffiti artist. As graffiti has gotten more respect as a legitimate art form, a lot of pieces have been commissioned - or at least the artists given permission to put them up.Blockbuster

A blockbuster is used to cover maximum area in a minimal amount of time. Often consisting of large block letters, the blockbuster can be accomplished with paint rollers and two or three colors of paint. Usually a blockbuster is put up to cover up other work or block other writers from putting anything up on the same area.Heaven
(images via: two instincts & Liam d'Noit)
A heaven is a piece that's put up in a very hard-to-reach location, often near or on the tops of tall buildings or on freeway signs. Because they're so dangerous and difficult to reach, graffiti artists who manage to get a piece up in such a spot will usually gain some added respect from their peers.
