My new Simkins' Swords - Trekell Starter Artist Brush Set is now available at Trekell Art Supplies! I handpicked these two brushes for their versatility, whether you’re laying down fine lines or blending smooth gradients. This set includes:

1 - Trekell #3 Round Crimson Taklon Brush – ideal for details and lines

Introducing...CAPITALS: Celebrating 30 Years in the Graffiti World

I owe much of what I do and where I am as an artist to the year 1992, when I became a graffiti artist and began painting letters on walls. Coming up with interesting ways to write these six letters became an art school of sorts and the friends and people I painted with were like my teachers and fellow students. The alleyways, freeways and underpasses were all my classrooms. 2022, marks my 30th year of being a graffiti artist and to honor the path it sent me down, I wanted to paint these six letters once again.
