So the boss-man VQ and I decided to have some fun painting today. Check it out!
This canvas was made possible by: some old spray paint given to us, and VQ digging into his deep, deep, very deep character repertoire!

Cutting!!! The non-painful kind…
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008
The technique you’re gonna watch (and hopefully learn) today is called “cutting.” It’s an indispensable tool in any graffiti writers toolbox. The man behind the video this fine day is a guest to our lovely site, he’s also the man responsible for that killer piece at the header.
His tag is FASM (it stands for Faith Alone Saved Me) and he’s a long time member of the very international Gospel Graffiti Crew. You can check out more of his work at www.gospelgraffiti.com or www.FASM.net.
And now for some schooling…

Hope you learned a little something new… God bless you all and have a lovely day.

Sketching Graffiti Overview
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008A few friends have asked how to sketch graffiti. I started sketching graffiti in Junior High School to keep occupied (I usually sat in the back of the class). So here is a quick overview on how I sketch graffiti when wanting to pass some time; the reason I mention that is to let you know that this is a more time consuming approach. Also, this type of sketching is for when you don’t have anything but a pen and a “whatever type” of paper (printer paper, napkin, math assignment, etc.) handy. I’ll only be using a ball point pen and and my sketch book(Sometimes I feel that using color in a sketch is a waste of time; markers, pastels and colored pencils never look as good as paint…this is just my opinion).
Now as a point, you should know this is how I do it. This is NOT the way I would sketch if you’re looking to develop a “line by line” lettering structure for your graffiti. I used to just draw any word that came to mind, in the past few years I’ve been sketching books of the Bible and reference verses. This one will be a quick sketch of Hosea 10:v12.
The graffiti Gospel…It REALLY is good news.
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008This week, instead of doing some sort of graffiti tip, demonstration, or overview; I wanted to let you see the beauty of the art being “drawn out.” That way, you can see what writing graffiti is like. I didn’t have time do a piece, tape it and get VQ to edit it because we’re flying to England tonight. So, I started looking for some good footage online.
In the beginning of my search to find just the right video, I had no idea that a one of this caliber was out there. In it, you’ll see the technicality of graffiti, all the while getting the Truth (his name is Jesus…). Check it out, and pay special attention to how the writers paint over and re-use sections that were previously painted. It’s solid. And props to the GG Crew for their impressive and blessed work.

Quick Overview of 7 Spray Tips
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008When I’ve tried to talk about graffiti to people not familiar with it, I’ve found most don’t even realize that there’s thought behind it and that it’s a proper art. Many feel that "writing" is always gang related, just like rap music is always about violence, sex and drugs. A couple years ago I was even chewed out at a national bookstore chain for asking where their books on graffiti were in the art section…
With that said, I’ve decided to do a quick overview on some of the basics tips used on spray cans. You should note that ClickPopMedia doesn’t support writing on public property, and feels that graffiti is a viable art form that should treat others property with respect. I hope you find this video helpful, and can use the information on it to worship God as you hone your gifts.
