Anti Graffiti Coatings
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.

Graffiti Burners by Bjorn Almqvist
Graffiti Burners by Bjorn Almqvist (Dokument Press)
Burners. Is it a word that is still commonly used within graffiti nowdays? What is a Burner? Its a good question. By bring togther 100+ artists and asking them to provide a flick of their favourite piece and explain what they feel makes a burner, the author Bjorn Almqvist tries to find out. And what we get, and for me this is where genius of this book lies, is over 100+ differing answers. Some of these are quite insightful; “Forget about theme, forget about combinated colours with your partners – its bullshit!” says Func'88. Whilst others are a bit more tounge in cheek; “Have a good breakfast” states Stray. Some of the artists take you through the making of their piece and what their thought process was behind their burner. All of which makes for an interesting addition to the works featured and should maybe even makes yourself question what you think makes a burner.
This book has it all, an excellent introduction bringing back so many memories of seeking out graff, page after page of top pieces and some real insights from the various writers featured. But personally, the best thing about this is the fact that it clearly shows that there isnt a set formula for a burner. Each writer gives their own take on what a burner is. A burner “is subjective and not clearly defined”. What is a burner to me isnt necessarily are burner to you. And that is why the content of this book is so varied.
This book as the title suggests doesnt feature 2 minute silvers etc. However it is jammed packed with top end graff from around the world. If you are into style and burners, dont even think about it just buy it. Its that good.

Looking for something to do on Sunday?
On the 15th of May, Elph's latest exhibition One One Three Three at Recoat Gallery comes to an end. To mark the occasion Recoat are holding a closing party from 3-5pm. Elph will be in the gallery mingling with the punters and releasing a new limited edition screen print and the 2nd in his series of "Sketchbook" zines - pass him a beer and he may sign one for you. The plan is for him to deliver a short artist's talk at 4pm.
