Sketching Letters

A team of 5 from Microsoft came to the gallery on the evening of October 26, stoked to learn about graffiti art. Curious and inquisitive, they asked some wonderful questions during the history of graffiti session. Following the history lesson, they then got to see some murals firsthand, and attempted to decipher some funky fresh wild style lettering.

After learning about graffiti art, it was time for them to try their hand at sketching letters and spraying. The Microsoft crew had a playful attitude and they executed their pieces with finesse and fun.

Thanks for having a workshop with us Microsoft! You were a fantastic group and you made our jobs so easy and enjoyable, ^_^. Come back anytime! Click here for more photos from the Microsoft workshop!

But before they could start spraying, they took a history lesson or two from local graff legend Nate1. After that, the whole Splunk team scoped out the local murals around SoMa and then the spray paint fun began!

There was stenciling tees, there was spray practice, and of course, the painting of the mural. With spray cans in hand, the Splunk team painted a piece that was definitely “greater than”, ^_^.

A big thanks to Christina N. and Jeff I. from Splunk for coordinating the workshop with 1AM and thank you Splunk team for being such an awesome team to work with! Click here to check out more pics of their workshop.

Splunk mural!

Facebook drip!

With one man down and another member swamped in meetings, the 5 remaining Facebook crew members continued forward on their quest to learn about graffiti art. Led by General Amber S., they made it to the corner of 6th and Howard to partake in a bit of aerosol action at 1AM gallery

History of Graffiti, Mural Walk Tour, Stenciling Tees, to Mural Production: the Facebook team met every activity with spunk, vigor and might! They were complete graffiti naturals, taking to the spray can like pros and blasting a dope mural on the wall. 

Thanks for being such a cool and fun group to work with Facebook. Welcome to the wonderful world of graffiti, and come back to the gallery any time! Click here to check out more of their workshop’s pics!

Our Belgian friend, BUE, landed in San Francisco and stopped by the gallery to say hi.

BUE and KEB went to the roof for a freestyle collaboration.
