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!

SAP Labs stenciling tees
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!

SAP Labs team in front of their masterpiece
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.

Galileo student getting down!
Last month, 1:AM had the honor of being asked to host a 2-part, after school graffiti workshop at San Francisco’s very own Galileo high school! We pounced on the opportunity to work with kids and help beautify a school. Really, how often does one get the request to spray a mural inside of a school, and to top it all off, alongside part of the student body
After school session #1: The Galileo team, comprised of 8 Galileo students and led by teachers Nate1 and Mario, took to the practice boards eagerly. At the beginning of the workshop, everyone’s spraying skills varied across the board(pun intended),
but at the end of session #1, the students were fading and spraying their own letters and characters like it was no one’s business! Needless to say, 1:AM instructors Nate1 and Mario were impressed.
After school session #2: THE MURAL! A handful of passionate, student artists spent some time sketching out concepts for the wall and presented them during the workshop. We were all blown away by the creativity and talent that these students have.
Using some of the elements from their pieces, the whole team came together to create a mural for their after school room. They came up with a dope mural that shows love for our wonderful city, and school pride.
Shout out to to Lee for contacting 1:AM about hosting a workshop at Galileo, our fresh teachers Nate1 and Mario, and last but not least, a shout out to the remarkably creative and inspiring kids at Galileo for making this mural possible. You guys were a true pleasure to work with! Keep on drawing and painting!
