Graffiti Art



Graffiti artists create a 'Tag Name'

for themselves,

a sort of self-invention. Like other artists,

they want their name to be 'out there'~~

to make their name and their art

widely known and recognizable.


'Tag' to fit in a business-sized envelope. (above)
Used graffiti style lettering and images.
Craft acrylic paint, Zig pen,
and white gel pen. Inspired by

a graffiti wall with many layers of paint...






Back of tag.
Origami paper, scrapbook paper,
crayon resist & acrylic,
Zig pen & white gel pen.
The tag is to be removed
from the painted/stenciled
envelope below.






Letters stenciled directly onto
envelope painted with acrylics,
and also onto other pieces of
cardstock, then glued on.
Crayon and pen markings
added to background.






These are all part of the Scrappy Green Journal.
Elizabeth had included the yellow
Police Line tape, and I thought 
"Why not Graffiti?"
I drew the little 'cartoon kid', 
applied watercolor, then inked in.

Graffiti Dragon



Highlighter and marker in
visual art journal. Copyright DBC 2011.


Trying out "Graffiti style" lettering
and drawing. I was thinking of
'Puff the Magic Dragon'
but realized there could be
other unintentional connotations...
I'm not a tobacco (or otherwise) smoker,
so just think of this as fire-breathing
dragon smoke.
Very reminiscent of my art work
when I worked for a Tee-shirt
transfer company.








Not exactly like graffiti, but a fun experiment.
I wouldn't be fast enough to actually
paint a 'tag' on anything 
without getting caught...not into
danger, vandalism, or gang signs, 
but definitely intrigued by street art.


I often wonder what it would be like
to put my work over one of those
ugly billboards beside the freeway?

Anti Graffiti Coatings

Graffiti removal


Walkway Underpass Project:

Ecological Coatings EC-1800 Water-based Clear Anti-Graffiti Coating was the coating of choice to protect this 10,000 square foot Walkway Underpass which connects the residential side to the business side of town.

EC-1800 will not only protect the walls, ceiling, conduit and lighting fixtures from graffiti, but will also protect those areas from scuff marks caused by normal pedestrian movement through the walkway on a daily basis.

Additional graffiti prevention has been accomplished with the anti graffiti paint surface, brighter lighting fixtures and security cameras.

Our Anti Graffiti coatings and paints can be applied to stone, brick, block, tile, slate, wood, fiberglass, metals as well as over most sound coating and paint. Not only are these coatings the perfect choice for graffiti protection, but also excellent for areas where mar resistance is required, such as halls, doors, elevators and stairways. The low odor, quick dry formulation of our Clear coating enables it to be used safely in office buildings, schools, and hospitals.




Ecological Coatings Anti-Graffiti Coating and Anti-Graffiti Paint are water-based, green, low voc products, formulated for effective graffiti protection and exhibit high cross-linked densities, non-stick properties and excellent chemical resistance. Graffiti spray paint, permanent marker and pen sit on the surface of the coating but do not penetrate. Graffiti removal is simple using our Water-based, Non-toxic Graffiti Remover. Our coatings are permanent, so once graffiti spray paint or permanent marker is removed from the surface the coating remains, ready to protect against the next graffiti attack. Ecological Coatings offers a wide wariety of graffiti prevention products and customer support to assist you with proven technology and techniques to help prevent graffiti attacks in the future.
