New York based artist Krink has very recently launched his very own app for both the iPad and iPhone, creating plenty to navigate through for users. With the ability to choose your own marker, write on any photo from your library, and be able to upload it to Instagram or Facebook once completed. Completed, high-resolution “Krinked” images can also be printed for a more personal touch, you can download the app from the iTunes store.

Craig Costello sits down with VICE’s ‘Art Talk’ series to talk about his graffiti and the development of his internationally recognized ink and paint brand Krink. His signature style morphed out of his modifications and innovations with paint tools; using a fire extinguisher filled with paint and paint markers rather than spray paint, and became an instant hit in many cities around the world. Catch up with Costello as he talks about the rise of the KRINK brand and its growing take on the art culture. Click here to watch the full video.

The collaboration between Uniform Experiment and NYC based artist KRINK has just been announced. Obviously we can’t deduct anything from this short teaser except for that there’s KRINK’s trademark paint dripping down pebbled leather. UE is probably my favorite “street” brand right now being designed by Hiroshi Fujiwara, I believe that it’s the best representation of street fashion currently.

Craig “Krink” Costello is one of the most visionary and inspirational street artists working today, and is also the creator of KRINK, a line of the finest quality handmade inks and markers, beloved by artists and vandals alike. He recently got the opportunity to work with G-Shock to create the exclusive DW-6900KR-8 watch, and here’s a video where the famed artists speaks on the collaboration and how it is working in New York.

G-Shock x KRINK Video Interview is a post from: SLAMXHYPE

Casio G-Shock presents a new collaboration with artist/entrepreneur Craig Costello, aka “KR”, founder of Krink (High quality art supplies). Unsatisfied with existing commercial art products and tools, KR revolutionized the art-supply market by hand-making his own inks and markers and offering them to artists worldwide. Krink products and aesthetics are now a mainstay for young artists globally from Moscow to Tokyo. Krink’s reputation for high quality is unsurpassed and the Krink brand has become synonymous with DIY culture. G-Shock has been an avid supporter of underground culture, so it was only fitting that they would join forces to create a collaborative timepiece, the DW6900KR-8. While staying true to the G-Shock toughness and technology, the DW6900KR-8 carries the tradition of Krink’s minimalist design aesthetic, the DW-6900KR-8 has a metallic matte silver finish (Casio pulled it out of it’s library especially for KR) and for the first time in G-Shock history, the watch will bare a full mirror face and LCD display. Craig also omitted all technical type from the inner ring on the face of the watch, making this piece the cleanest look G-Shock has ever produced. Each G-Shock x Krink timepiece has a custom-made “silver on silver” commemorative tin for its collectors.

“The new DW6900KR-8 watch is the epicenter of where art, fashion, and functionality intersect” said Shigenori Itoh, Vice President of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “The G-Shock x Krink collaboration allows our consumers the opportunity to indulge in aesthetically pleasing watches without compromising the G-Shock functionality.”

“Here at Krink, quality should never be compromised and is always worth the extra cost and effort” said Craig Costello a.k.a. Krink. “Casio mirrors the same philosophy regarding their G-Shock line of watches and it’s been a pleasure working with them on a solid product. G-Shock took the extra time to find the right finishes and subtle details that compliment this piece.”
