Need Some Christmas Gift Advice - 12-09-2007, 10:55 PM

My roomates and I were looking into getting one of our other roomates something for christmas, and he's really into graffiti, and was hoping to get him some good materials and a new blackbook for him to sketch with. Any suggestions on what to get him (markers/pens? kind of paper? brands?). It's my friends and I so we're looking for some things to total between $60-70. Thanks for the help.

Graffiti Shop: the Graffiti Supplies store.

that website has a lot of graffiti related merchandise (clothes, dvds and stuff) or if if you really want, markers or spraycans.... if you want to get him some markers for sketching, get him the touch twin markers, ive tried them before and they pretty good....

Bombing Science: Special packages!

well that page has some special packages, you can get him the bomber pack, or just some markers, if he likes to watch graff vids on youtube, you can get him some dvds instead

for 70 bucks or so, a good set of prismas is within range. there are a number of artstores online that sell overstock pretty cheap. also, if he paints, painter's touch cans are the next best thing to montanas and are dirt cheap at home depot

Get him a few markers, spraycans(with a few caps), a backpack, respirator and a wall.

- STEAL his blackbook and burn it. this will help him by making him appreciate all his work a lot more. that makes him overall happier with all the work he does
- TAKE his spraypaint and paint on the walls of his room. this will show him that you and your friend love graffiti as well. it is always nice for people to feel at home with others that share common interests.

or take one of his pieces and get it printed onto a shirt, that'd be hella dope.
