The perfectly balanced 60mm high-flow tip with extremly high output supports this technique.

This interaction enables the new MOLOTOW special ink to soak the tip fast and constantly. This ink called MOLOTOW-cocktail will also be available in the refill-line.

A nitrogen paint buildup and the special mixture assure a clear and high covering, permanent, highly adhesive signalblack "synthetic bitumen" ...coming soon....

Below a summary of impressions by Lars (Molotow TV host, Copenhagen)

"For many years I had dreamt of travelling to Moscow. A legendary city, the center of Eastern Europe, a place far away from where I came from and where graffiti was just starting to blossom.

The preparations for the trip was massive, it took me 5 trips to the local Russian embassy and countless hours waiting in line before I could get my required visa. When the plane landed in Moscows international airport, it became clear that this place was truly different. The special smell of Moscow in the air and the long, long lines at the airport for visa-check and registration. The Russian national sport must be waiting in line...

We, the Molotow TV crew, were picked up at the airport by our local contact, Dennis from the Sabotage agency and several things quickly became clear to us.

You need a local contact to make your way round in Moscow.

Moscow is incredibly big.

And the traffic is unbelievably heavy.

After spending a couple of hours in crosstown traffic we finally made it to the hotel and after checking in, with more Russian paperwork and waiting in line, we went to the metro and headed for the Red Square. The Moscow subway is absolutely amazing. I have seen many subways in my life, but this one was the greatest. Old, long trains, running constantly. Big worn down cars, running really fast in the old tunnels. Every station is unique and with great interior design. Marble and communist symbols are everywhere, yet there are very few signs to guide people around and its almost impossible to find out where to go if you cant read the syrillic alphabet. And the whole place is complete clean of any sign of graffiti or vandalism, both the stations and the traincars.

We made it to the center of Moscow and walked a few streets down towards the Red Square. The whole area had a great atmosphere and you could feel the vibe of power and historical greatness in the cold autumn air. After passing the KGB headquarters we were there, the famous Red Square with its big open space, the Kremlin behind the great wall and the trademark russian-style cathedrals. A breathtaking site.

The following day we hooked up with the crew from Code Red magazine and went to a local hall of fame called Aftersavotsky, siuated in an out of use carpark under the Ring 3 highway. We brought a bunch of Molotow cans with us and quickly arranged a little paint session with some of the best writers in Moscow. Zmogk from True Stilo crew, Aske from Code Red and a member of the KGM crew. The hall of fame had some nice quality graffiti already and these guys quickly started doing their individual styles. Right next to the hall of fame was a a big traintrack area where long, old freighttrains rolled by all day and there was even a few longdistance trains parked there. The track area in Russia is like a normal road for the local people, they cross it, walk up and down the tracks and even chill there, a very casual atmosphere. Not like the emptyness and high security of western Europes tracksides.

The three pieces started to come out, all three were quiet different. Zmogk was working on his trademark robot-style, using many colours and good technique. The KGM piece was coming more like a soft Scandinavian train-style and Aske was doing his piece like a logo with straight lines and alot of cutting all over his piece. Great variety for three pieces. After putting in the finishing touches and the Molotow TV tag, it was time for a quick photo session before we headed out into the busy afternoon crosstown traffic of Moscow.

The following day we went with Dennis from Sabotage agency to check out his latest graffiti project in Moscow. He didnt tell us much about it in advance, all we knew was that we were going to see ”a wall” he had organised with some writers painting. To our big surprise we go to a local Moscow neighborhood with normal residential buildings, quiet small for Russian standards but still around 4 stories high. Here Dennis organised, not 1, but 12 BIG walls or rather, murals.

It was amazing to see how the strangely grey, clean and dull Moscow all of a sudden were getting 12 huge colorfull murals with styles from all over the world. Several of the murals were already finished, and they looked quiet different. Some where abstract paintings, some where brazillian design, executed by local Moscow writers, some were being worked on while we walked around the neighborhood and one wasnt started yet. In the middle of the neighborhood there was a small fortress, or as we found out, a policestation with lots of uniformed officers chilling and smoking cigarettes outside, paying no attention to the artist painting away around them.

All the murals where done on big shaky scaffolds with a mix of spray and rollerpaint. Much to our surprise we suddenly hear some Dutch talk at one of the murals and we learn that one of the murals were being painted by a group of oldschool Dutch writers and artists from the punk scene. Dennis showed us around and told us about the different artist and we stopped at the wall his own crew was  working on, a very nice mural of Goldielocks, a beautiful lady with golden hair swirweling around the buildings facade.

We passed the 310 crew when they were almost finished with their mural that contained an interesting mix of pop-art, abstract art and photorealism. All the writers working on the murals seemed very happy about the job. The local residents didnt seem to pay the murals any attention except for one very angry man that tried to start a big argument with us while walking with his little daughter, I guess you get these anti-cultural citizens in every city in the world. The only locals that seem to enjoy this art-invasion of their neighborhood was the small kids that ran around shouthing and screaming, stealing scrapcans, trying to tag on the ground before puncturing them or setting them on fire!! When we left and walked back to the metro it seemed unreal that Moscow was being blessed with such a big artproject but with new times comes new things and there are definetely many more walls and buildings in Moscow that could use a touch of art and spraypaint.

The following day Dennis took us to the airport express train, a simple mission for him but for us it would have been close to impossible to find the right station, buy the ticket and find the right track because of the language barrier. The train was everything but express, but after a long picturesque train ride where we passed so many different train types, we finally made it to the airport and caught the plane out of Russia. It was 4 days filled with new experiences, great adventure and impressions to last a lifetime. We hope to come back next year for another mural event or for a graffiti jam.

Big shoutouts to everyone that helped us and showed us hospitality and love in Moscow!!! You know who you are!! See you soon"
