Theletters of wild style graffiti are very abstract and cannot be identified as letters easily. Lots of style elements, like arrows and big serifs are added to the letters and make the composition very complex. The shadows of the letters fill the spaces between the letters and make the whole piece look compact.
Our collection of graffiti letters currently contains over 150 images. Our aim is to update it regularly and provide many different styles as a source of inspiration.

Hi and thanks. Everything is fine, but of course, as for most of us, the pandemic has changed plans for this year and I should have canceled some trips and projects for this period, and its beginning coincided with my move to a new apartment, so this time was a bit stressful. I had an artistic crisis until June and I was not so active on the streets or at home with sketches or canvases, but I used this time for pondering about concepts of my style and ideas for the next pieces and canvases. The summer was more eventful with local jams and festivals and I returned to normal life more or less.
Originally, I am not from Poland so it is difficult for me to compare how it was in the beginning, but in my opinion, here is one of the strongest graffiti and street-art scenes in Europe nowadays. There are many local graffiti jams and slightly fewer international festivals such as Meeting of Styles, Street Wars, Frame festival etc. There are a lot of talented graffiti writers here in Poland.
In the beginning, I had different graffiti names but over some time, I found that those letters, which I have now, are the most variable and have a lot of options to build new shapes and keep flexible dynamics of the whole piece.
As I mentioned, for me my letters presented as one living organic form inspired by brain activity, where could exist mutations, diseases, hallucinations which I retranslate in my graffiti works with using some elements of Opart, glitch distortions, cloning letters and putting inside other letters ( or whole 2 pieces inside one)
With this style I would like to show versatility unlimited possibilities of working with the graffiti letters.
As for the colors, first of all I have always had a focus on outlines. However, when you collaborate with other writers and paint joint production, sometimes you have to use the same colors. So here always was a problem to me, because usual gradients and one color outline I have long ceased to interest.
In my case, I very rarely share my canvases or large-format works on social media and most of them are unseen. I sell my artworks directly to collectors when they are interested to get some of my paintings or sketches in their collections, and at such moments, I appreciate working with such people, because they got acquainted with my ideas and concepts, and also know exactly why they came to me.
Sticker art (also known as sticker slapping and sticker bombing) is a common type of graffiti where artists either write on blank stickers or print names and images on stickers and stick them up in public.
Stencil graffiti or stencil art is a style that uses a sheet of card, plastic or metal with shapes cut out of it. Artists then put the sheet on a surface and use spray paint to fill in the cut-out shapes, producing their artwork.
Growing up in London, I've always been fascinated by the graffiti that covers the cityscape. From seeing it around where I lived to reading it on the train lines, I was hooked straight away. For over 15 years, I've been painting graffiti and immersing myself in the culture. I graduated from the University of Sussex in 2019 with a BA in Sociology and Media Studies. My final year research project, entitled "Vigilant Vandalism or Mindless Mischief: A Narrative Analysis of Graffiti Writers in London & Brighton", exposed me to the lives of graffiti writers in the field and better shaped my understanding of the culture. I created Graff Storm in 2021 with the mission to help new artists learn more about graffiti culture, find the right tools and avoid toy status.
Although many may consider it disgusting, there are still people out there who see graffiti as an art form. It requires skill and the right type of materials in order to write anything in graffiti style. Now doing it on other people's properties not so good, but on a piece of paper, that's much better. In this video tutoria, you'll see how to write a name in an old school graffiti style. So good luck, enjoy, and please don't break the law by tagging up things that don't belong to you!

Start by thinking of the pea as a sphere, and your eyes should sit on top of this sphere. Adding guidelines can be helpful in finding the right placement for the faces. I usually work on a new layer for faces because I might need to adjust their size or position later.
You can also use the Liquify filter to slightly reshape the circle, adding some character to it. Now, duplicate it using a three-finger swipe, and position the second circle. Adjust the size as needed to create a dynamic composition.
Start with the green peas. Create a new layer and set it as a clipping mask. Use a yellow color and a soft brush to add some glow. Repeat this process for the pink letters, giving them a complementary touch of green.

Graffiti (plural; singular graffiti or graffito, the latter rarely used except in archeology) is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view.[1][2] Graffiti ranges from simple written "monikers" to elaborate wall paintings, and has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire (see also mural).[3]
Graffiti is a controversial subject. In most countries, marking or painting property without permission is considered by property owners and civic authorities as defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime, citing the use of graffiti by street gangs to mark territory or to serve as an indicator of gang-related activities.[4] Graffiti has become visualized as a growing urban "problem" for many cities in industrialized nations, spreading from the New York City subway system and Philadelphia in the early 1970s to the rest of the United States and Europe and other world regions.[5]
The term graffiti originally referred to the inscriptions, figure drawings, and such, found on the walls of ancient sepulchres or ruins, as in the Catacombs of Rome or at Pompeii. Historically, these writings were not considered vandalism,[9] which today is considered part of the definition of graffiti.[10]
The only known source of the Safaitic language, an ancient form of Arabic, is from graffiti: inscriptions scratched on to the surface of rocks and boulders in the predominantly basalt desert of southern Syria, eastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia. Safaitic dates from the first century BC to the fourth century AD.[11][12]
Some of the oldest cave paintings in the world are 40,000 year old ones found in Australia.[9] The oldest written graffiti was found in ancient Rome around 2500 years ago.[13] Most graffiti from the time was boasts about sexual experiences.[14] Graffiti in Ancient Rome was a form of communication, and was not considered vandalism.[9]
