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!

Graffiti action in the morning to start your day! Last Monday, October 17, 1AM had the pleasure of hosting a graffiti workshop for an awesome team of 12 from SAP Labs led by none other than SAP Lab-er Tim R. Their team arrived bright and early, fueled with bagels and coffee and ready to begin a day of graffiti festivities.
Eager to learn, their morning began with a history of graffiti lesson, followed by a mural walk tour around SoMa. After learning about graff art, it was time to gets some hands-on experience,.
With masks on and spray cans in hand, the SAP Labs team stenciled some dope looking tees and blasted out a funky fresh mural. Vibrant colors. Dots. Tags alongside the piece. What more could you ask for in a mural?
Thank you for being fantastic SAP Labs! Come back and get your paint on with us any time! To check out more pics of their workshop, click here!

Picture it: October 12, 2011. It was a hot and sunny afternoon, and there was a team of 21 from Splunk, Inc., geared up and ready for a Graffiti 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.

What a great week in graffiti! Still jones-ing for more? Don’t forget that “Fast Forward“, a group exhibition that captures the progressive evolution of spray can art, is still on view at 1AM through October 30th.
See ya there!
Mike Bam‘s show “Fast Forward” has pulled great artists from across the globe. One of the show stoppers is Suiko1, heralding from Hiroshima, Japan. He graced us with his presence at the opening and since it was his first time in San Francisco, Bam showed him how the Bay Area rolls. In the middle of a painting sesh, Bam asked Suiko some questions about his funk, steez and swag.
