KR, Craig Costello: Living Proof Radio. Ep-164

KR, Craig Costello for Living Proof Radio. Craig Costello is an artist, retired graffiti writer and founder of KRINK. Having spent time painting graffiti in a pivotal era of both New York and San Francisco, KR upheld the long standing tradition of shoplifting materials to make your own markers and ink. His approach to graffiti played with scale; very large/legible 'KR's' done with paint-rollers in high-profile areas, along with street-level tags done with his home-made ink and markers. The spirit of innovation within KRINK has led to tools like the sprayer, dauber, fire-extinguisher, specialized spray paint, as well as classics including KRINK's chrome ink and the k-60 mop. His approach to graffiti and tool making has globally influenced the way graffiti is done today.

It’s interesting how immersed someone can be in this brand with and without knowing the history, because the essence of it is so well defined.

Obviously anyone who has been writing for any substantial amount of time knows how simple (and cheap) it is to create your own inks, but it's a lot tougher to create interesting colors with just rusto paints - the wildest one they make is the Sunburst yellow. I've used some Krink stuff before and while the marker applicators totally suck the ink itself is pretty decent quality and comes in some really nice colors.
