Mop Markers

Mop markers or paint markers came some time after the introduction to spray paint; however, they did not take long for their popularity to soar. These graffiti markers became a fast easy way for artists to express themselves. Their small size makes them much more convenient than spray paint, though they have limitations when creating larger works. There have been much advancement to mop markers; including a controlled ink flow, which was not possible with spray paint. Though graffiti art is usually associated with delinquent adolescents and vandalism, it has definitely made its voice heard in the art realm of America (PDF- Holliston Historical Society) (eHow- About Graffiti Markers).
