Turning a paper train into a custom graffiti piece! In this video, I check out my new Mini Spots graffiti book, break out the paint markers, and freestyle a PAGER piece directly over one of the trains printed on the pages. Then I test a brand-new airbrush to add shading, highlights, and depth to the finished artwork. These pages give you a miniature train to paint without leaving your desk. It’s a fun way to practice graffiti lettering, experiment with color, and turn a sketchbook session into your own little freight train painting project.
Watch the piece come together from the first marker lines to the final airbrush details. I’m building the letters as I go, working through the shapes, adding color, and seeing where the freestyle process takes me. The airbrush adds another layer to the experiment, giving me a chance to explore softer shadows and highlights alongside the sharper paint marker work. And because painting should be fun, we’re bringing a little Bob Ross energy into the train yard: relaxed commentary, creative detours, and a suspicious number of markers on the table.

If you’re into graffiti art, paint marker drawing, graffiti sketchbooks, miniature trains, or watching an idea develop into a finished piece, come hang out and paint with me. What should I paint on the next train? Drop a color combination or lettering idea in the comments. And let me know: do you like the paint marker look on its own, or the added airbrush shading?
