B999. 2024 Scripsit Vol. 46, No. 1: Calligraphy and Graffiti. This issue delves into an age-old controversy: Can vandalism be a masterpiece? The graffiti takeover of Oceanwide Plaza, a deserted 55-story skyscraper, brought mixed opinions among Los Angeles residents. One resident told the Los Angeles Times, "If it's done without permission, it's vandalism - even if Michelangelo did it." Meanwhile, Michael Delahaut, a 54-year-old long-time participant in the L.A. graffiti scene, marveled at the scale, stating, "It would've taken hundreds of writers, tens of thousands of cans. It's amazing. I've witnessed many graffiti moments, but this might be the biggest."

The discussion raises questions about urban gentrification and the role of developers who abandon projects. It challenges readers to consider who the real vandals are—the developers leaving behind empty buildings or the residents transforming them with color and creativity.

M2026. karin Real Brush PRO. These brand new Real Brush markers from karin are filled with the same non-toxic, dye- based paint as their original brush marker PRO! What’s new? A Japanese real brush bristle tip for natural marks and a paintbrush feel!

These markers are twice as efficient as traditional filter markers and feature incredible color intensity. karin’s color range is vast, but even more colors can be created through a variety of mixing techniques: 

Paint two different colors on a non-absorbent surface, such as plastic. Mix the colors together with the karin Blender, then apply the new color to your desired surface.
Touch the tips of a marker and Blender and hold both of them upright for 5 to 30 seconds for a color brightening gradient effect.

karin brushmarkers should be stored capped, tip-up. If you leave your marker uncapped for too long, close the marker and store it tip-down for approximately one hour to re-hydrate it.
