Vintage Spray Paint Cans For The Graffiti Pack Rat

vintagespraycans_main.jpg
We can’t front—we’re hardly graffiti experts over here at Complex (please don’t try us when it comes to comic books and rap though). Still, we have more than a healthy respect for the culture, so when we stumbled across this collection of rare spray cans this morning, we had to share.

Grotesk, a Swiss graphic artist based in BK, just posted a collection of old spray paint cans from 1974 to 1988. Apparently his father is a model maker and serious pack rat who photographed the old cans that he had around his studio—kind of like a dead stock treasure trove for aerosol aficionados. Hands down, the vintage cans are way cooler than your Don Mattingly rookie card, or your low-run Elvis stamps. Peep more of the collection after the jump.
