hey everyone is patashnik eventless and
welcome to NAB's kind of live one of my
favorite things about living in an urban
center is that there's art everywhere
you look I've always been a huge fan of
graffiti art but I've always been a
little too intimidated to try it out
myself so today I came to one of my
favorite neighborhoods in Toronto
Kensington Market to learn how to do
graffiti
so I am here with my friend Aaron aka
rock that's his graffiti name who is a
wonderful graffiti artist and is going
to teach me how to do this so how long
have you been doing graffiti art over 20
years really I started when I was a
teenager how did you get into it uh it's
like the best reason ever because my
friends were doing it and I thought it
was cool so you said your Ruffini name
is rock is that common like do people
have separate names yeah almost
everybody will pick like a different
name to do in their original name so you
actually made this mural about a year
ago right I tend to paint this wall once
a year once a year and this is seven
lives taco it is amazing and Kensington
is so cool I don't know if you've
watched our videos but I did do one
about pickle juice I'm thinking I'm
going to try to make a pickle on this
wall yeah we could do that yeah we can
do it I think so okay so you said the
first step is to shake our cam let's do
it cut to a montage
the caps you get with the can when you
buy them are these ones they're just
called stock caps or orange dot and
they're general-purpose not really good
for drawing this is a skinny cap or thin
cap which will give us a nice thin line
and then these are the fat caps that I
brought might call them Lego heads just
because they're yellow these are awesome
these are my favorite so we're gonna
start with one of those first thing you
want to do is just spray it in the air
and get the the paint flowing make sure
we see that right back in my face so
closer in line yep farther away bat
lines so when you go to dry your pickle
shape try not to let the can go up or
down try and keep your kit the can level
with the wall or Wow pickle awesome
you're painting right now like an
illegal graffiti artist this is one way
of doing it so you're feeling like this
yeah to go really fast so if you want to
look really crisp you stop at the end of
each line yeah and that prevents the
paint from less pooling in the corners
and dripping if you're trying to do it
really fast you wouldn't care all right
right okay okay let's just preface this
by saying we have permission to paint
this wall and we're not encouraging
anybody to paint anything illegally
correct okay I'm liking this a little
too much I'm having too much fun okay
it's kind of a good workout it comes
right to your iron
yeah three of them all back there yeah
exactly
hahaha nice he's gonna be like kind of
sappy mr. pickle Minh I love him yeah
