A lot of graffiti artists, especially a lot of the older graffiti artists, complain about how
there are so many graffiti mops, markers, paint sticks, available to graffiti writers on the
graffiti market nowadays and how we used to have to basically make them ourselves. Number one:
those people are just playing cranky! Number two: i think it's great that so many of the graffiti
products on the graffiti market have been made, developed and sold by actual graffiti writers.
And because of that, i think most graffiti markers, mops etc on the market available to
graffiti writers are quite high quality, including those that were made by companies that don't exist
anymore or have gone under. So with that being said i'd like to bring you the list of the top
5 graffiti markers, mops and paint sticks that sadly no longer exist. So let's get right into
it! And don't worry. Because i've been reviewing graffiti products for over 8 years, as a series on
my graffiti channel here on youtube, i have all of these graffiti markers, mops and paint sticks with
me here today to also show you and i have actually done reviews on all of them as well. Starting with
number five on the list today. It has got to be the Junobo scrawl stick. This was a great solid
paint stick that actually even undercut the prices of Markal B paint sticks when it was around.
I have the original cardboard outer shell that they came in here. I keep this as sort of a little
collectible. I'm a bit of a graffiti nerd that way! And then they briefly switched to a more
colour coordinated version of that cardboard, before they got discontinued in 2017.
You can see how they were actually like hand cut even on these ones. There's the hand cut bit;
that's pretty cool. They weren't quite as good as say the Markal B paint stick and i
think because of that they never really found their place within the graffiti market. But i
still definitely miss them a lot. You can actually check out a comparison i did between the Markal B
and the Junobo Scrawler in the cards in the corner and in the description below. It was a long time
ago though, so it's a bit more of a rough video than my content is nowadays. Keep that in mind.
Number four on this list is a mop i'll be very surprised if a lot of you have heard of and it
is the Do 'Em Dirty Outdoorsman Mop! This was just a great standard mop; not as squeezable as some
other mops but still quite good. I had a review of this mop on my channel. At one point it was
actually my most viewed video; that was way back in 2013. But it was actually deleted by youtube
for spam. Like f**k off youtube. And number three on this list sort of goes along with the last one.
It is the Block by Block Two Ounce Mop, I believe this one is. They come filled with Block by Block
ink. I still have a little bit left in this as sort of a collector's item of block by block.com,
a Canadian company no longer here. Shout out to the fellow Canadian writers; i know we have a lot
of support from Canada on the channel where I am! But let me tell you this ink was really the best
smelling ink and it was super permanent as well, and super vibrant most of all. It came in a few
very vibrant strong colours such as the white that is still Block by Block ink that i have in here.
It's about half full - this red here as well. And to be honest, probably it's been about five years
now since Block by Block sort of disappeared and i would say that still today there's not
many graffiti companies that have replicated such a permanent, vibrant ink as Block by Block has.
So i really really miss Block by Block. And number two on this list, also mainly because of the paint
that it came stocked with, is the Junobo Two Ounce Mop. The paint just had a consistency that
was more precise than other paints, and i know that's a very weird way to describe the paint,
but i just found you had much more control over the dripability of it i would say. The
drips were always all in the right spots and the consistency of the paint was just wonderful. It
was almost sort of like the Grog paint is now, which is one of my go-to's these days. And the
bingo dabber style of this mop is obviously very very classic. And i think it's a bit of
a shame that other graffiti brands and companies haven't taken advantage of the opportunity to pay
homage a little bit to the DIY style of graffiti, when he used to have to use actual bingo dabbers.
And i don't know of any other graffiti brand other than actually Art Primo mops that use
this bingo dabber style anymore. So shout out to Green Ranger for you know bringing back the bingo
dabber! Bring back bingo dabbers! Junobo really nailed it with the paint in their mop but also
the squeezability of this mop is just perfect. I still use this today after having changed the nib
many times because it's just such a dream to write with and cause it really is one of my
number one mops. To be fair it, still may be possible to get these Junobo mops nowadays but
Junobo has pretty much been a complete ghost on all social media for the past three years
at least and all the major graffiti online stores have stopped stocking their products.
And furthermore to that point, the Junobo website, it's a very simple html website, shows the Junobo
scrawlers as still available to buy even though Junobo announced on their instagram in 2017 that
the scrawler was being discontinued. So i wouldn't get my hopes up exactly,
which is sad. :( But the number one best graffiti mop, marker or paint stick on the graffiti market
that was discontinued is hands down for me the Block by Block 0.33 ounce mop. This mop has a
solid body. It's not squeezable and as someone who personally usually goes for minimum dripping
on tags, just a personal preference, this thing was my lover. I do need to change the nib but i
still use this today. And it's honestly a great little design. There aren't many brands that
use a solid body type design like this anymore either. It's very hard to find. I can't think
of any off the top of my head right now. And finally just as an honourable mention here,
this is probably something most people wouldn't exactly consider to be a graffiti product,
although Bombing Science did stock this for a while, it is of course Witches Brew Ink. This
stuff has to have one of the most toxic sounding labels i have ever heard! It says danger: harmful
or 'fatal!' if swallowed. You can check a review of this stuff out in the corner there or in the
description below. As well it comes with this nice dauber. I'm trying to not get this on anything.
It smells amazing i will say. Obviously you shouldn't be huffing it. But yeah, check that
out. I bet most you haven't heard of this one! But yeah, that is my list and i may not link a
couple of reviews of these products in the video. If you do find them they are really really old, so
don't judge my content by my seven plus year old videos! Maybe check out some of the newer content
on my channel on screen now. Hopefully i'll see you in one of those videos! Until then, peace!
