KR / Craig Costello for Living Proof Radio. Full podcast episode now on Living Proof http://livingproofnewyork.com

KR / Craig Costello is an artist, retired graffiti writer and founder of KRINK. Having spent time painting graffiti in a pivotal era of both New York and San Francisco, KR upheld the long standing tradition of shoplifting materials to make your own markers and ink. His approach to graffiti played with scale; very large/legible 'KR's' done with paint-rollers in high-profile areas, along with street-level tags done with his home-made ink and markers. The spirit of innovation within KRINK has led to tools like the sprayer, dauber, fire-extinguisher, specialized spray paint, as well as classics including KRINK's chrome ink and the k-60 mop. His approach to graffiti and tool making has globally influenced the way graffiti is done today.

He has released a book titled “ON A MISSION”, a photo book chronicling Craig’s early years immersed in San Francisco’s graffiti scene
