MontanaCans Lookbook 2019

Every organisation that was built up on passion and a love of what they do, finds themselves more and more pro-active in their work each year. Montana Cans is no exception as we strive to make the best cans on earth. But that is no excuse to reflect on all the extra curriculum activities like collaborations, festival, project and artist support that happen through the year as well. After all this helped create history. The Montana Cans LOOKBOOK gives an outlet to remember, reflect and reward those who deserve a little extra attention with some extra glow of the spotlight. With great pleasure, we announce the online release of the Montana Cans LOOKBOOK 2019, looking back at some of the highlights of 2019. This edition delves into many projects such as the Montana Cans limited edition cans that featured Mina & Bruce (plus interview), Felipe Pantone, Most and Flying Förtress. We reminisce on the cool collabo's we were involved in with Happy Socks, Good Guy Boris and Reebok Sneakers. We get re-inspired by feature articles on artists IMAGINE, THE LONDON POLICE, FRAU ISA, 1010 and 1UP CREW. We take a look at some of the urban art festivals that raised the bar even higher like METROPOLINK, POW!WOW ROTTERDAM and the THE BERLIN MURAL FESTIVAL. With eyes wide open we scratch under the surface of some alternative disciplines within graffiti culture. The spotlight gets turned on ABSTRACT LETTERING, GRAFFITI ON FREIGHTS and CALLIGRAFFITI. We share some knowledge on the new products like the Montana BLACK INFRA colors and Montana BOLD marker line, which took the industry by storm. Just as the special moment that was the grand opening of the MONTANA STORE VIENNA with our industry partners CONCRETE, did. All this and more over 160 enthralling full color pages.

LOOKBOOK 019 THE Montana

LOOKBOOK 019 THE Montana BLACK INFRA UPDATE Since the beginning of time, man has been using color to mark his surroundings and record his path in life. Fluorescent colors which were a completely man made creation, took the playing field of color to a complete other level. Graffiti art was not immune to the alure and intensity that fluorescent colors can offer. But it took quite a while before the balance of beauty and science would occur, bringing with it paint in the quality that graffiti writers needed. Since the creation of the current quality Montana BLACK range, the INFRA colors have always been high performing fluorescent colors in the eyes of graffiti artists the world over. Without fail, they delivered luminosity, coverage and handling. But that was never enough for us. We wanted them to be even better! The new formula INFRA colors don’t just cover more surface area then before, they boast increased color vibrance and the same performance and handling that you know and love from the Montana BLACK range. But we didn’t rest on our laurels. We knew we needed to get the green light from some serious color users before we had a formula that was ready to hit the streets of the world. So we called in some of the best. SOBEKCIS, STAN NATS and ONE TWO SPLASH, to push the new BLACK INFRA colors to their limits to make sure they were as good as we thought they had become. The results are easy to see with some eye popping artwork with ultra intensity. The new Montana BLACK INFRA colors have more opacity for better coverage and an increased color brilliance, making the colors even more intense. So you can cover a greater surface area in a shorter period of time. The INFRA Fluorescent colors also glow under incident UV-Light. 154
