Tag You’re It

Sheepz was the best! A lot of knowledge re the history, but kept it light. An amazing time tagging and spraying!
Fun afternoon
Wilson_L, Jul 2023
Super enjoyable afternoon with Sheepz. He’s super informative and friendly. We learned all about the graffiti culture. An eye opening view of a world that I had no idea existed before this experience. The hands-on graffiti was super fun and engaging. Highly recommend!
Awesome in Austin

What a fantastic experience and introduction to the elements of graphitti and the culture behind it. We just loved it! Sheepz was a great educator on the subject and we loved creating our own wall art!
Shining a light on a colorful art form

This was a great introduction to a historically misunderstood art form. A lot of interesting topic covered from history of the art, as well as the art itself and how to appreciate it.
The Writing is On The Wall!

Learning how to read graffiti was very fun and rewarding. Learning how to make graffiti was even better.
Graffiti art world
Anya_R, Mar 2022
What an interesting experience with a talented, knowledgeable, humble - I would dare say graffiti celebrity. Gave us insight of the life of a graffiti artist based on his personal journey. The topics were organic and based on what we seem to be interested in. Meanwhile I would book again knowing it will be totally different next time around. Plus the spray painting was fun.
The tag lagged
Mary_D, Jan 2022
Andrew was a welcoming and nice guy. We anticipated seeing and learning more about the graffiti scene in Austin. However, we just walked around the block to see a few graffiti works but hoped for more. The paint your own graffiti experience was fun. Would have loved for him to teach us a few techniques to try.
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Thanks for the review Mary. Perhaps we will put more emphasis on how long we paint. Some people are here purely for the cultural education, others for the act of painting. It does seem that particularly people coming through this platform tend to want to spend more time painting, which is wonderful. Thanks again.
Family fun

Andrew was great! Answered graffiti questions and ended with the group trying it out plus APES created a tag on a t- shirt for us.
