Art Friday : Create Your Own Graffiti Masterpiece with Graffiti Studio 2.0

Thursday, October 25th, 2007, 8:51 pmRoys

Graffiti Studio 2.0 is a cool freeware application specially created by LRPD Vandalsquad for anyone who wants to experiment with graffiti art. As the official website has been online since 1997, I guess I’m late by 7(!) years in discovering this little gem :(

Anyone remotely interested in drawing graffiti should play around with this application because unlike real-life graffiti artists, they:

  • Need not look out or evade the police while concentrating on their work of art.
  • Need not worry about buying spray cans of the wrong colours.
  • Need not fear their artpiece being cleaned away as Graffiti Studio users get to upload their works to the Vandalsquad archives for posterity.

If you need inspiration, the archives and the most popular works are just a click away on the official site.

Some tips to get the most out of Graffiti Studio:

  • Tapping Q moves the spray can nearer to the spray surface, resulting in a thicker and smaller area of paint. Tapping A does the opposite.
  • Undo only resets the last spray. Therefore …
  • Remember to save regularly. There’s only one save slot so the newest save always overwrites the previous one so save wisely.
  • Don’t feel like a graffiti artist yet? Shake the can to get that familiar spray can sound :)

Below is one good reason why I should stick to writing posts instead of drawing.
