How to book a graffiti artist in Australia

Whether you’re commissioning your first graffiti mural or briefing a large public art project, the process is straightforward. Here’s what to do — and what to look out for.

1

Define what you need before you reach out

You don’t need a finished design to get started — but having the basics ready speeds everything up:

  • Wall dimensions — width × height in metres (or your best estimate)
  • Location — indoor or outdoor, and which city
  • Style — aerosol lettering, character-based, illustrative, or open to direction
  • Audience — staff, customers, students, or the general public
  • Timeline — when you’d ideally like it completed
2

Request an itemised quote

Contact a graffiti art studio with your brief and ask for an itemised quote — one that separates out artist time, materials, concept design, and any access or equipment costs. Be cautious of unusually low single-line quotes; they often exclude design fees or project management.

Blackbook Ink provides free, detailed quotes within 24 hours. Get a quote →
3

Review the portfolio for relevant work

Look for completed projects at a similar scale and environment to yours. A strong Instagram feed is not the same as a track record of delivered commercial commissions. Ask specifically: have they worked on sites like mine before? Are these projects managed end-to-end, or individual freelance jobs?

Blackbook Ink has delivered 670+ projects since 2011 for councils, schools, developers and brands. Our portfolio documents completed work with project context — not just cropped detail shots.
4

Check insurance and compliance

Any professional graffiti artist or studio working on a commercial or public site must carry public liability insurance — minimum $10–20M for most council, school or commercial projects. For school projects, a Working With Children check is also required.

Blackbook Ink carries full public liability insurance and provides WHS documentation and method statements as standard on all commercial projects.
5

Agree the concept process before painting starts

A professional graffiti art studio will always produce concept mockups before a single can is opened. Confirm: how many revision rounds are included? Will you see the artwork on your actual wall at scale before sign-off?

At Blackbook Ink, every project includes a full concept phase with digital mockups on your wall at scale, with revision rounds before painting begins. Nothing goes on the wall without your written approval.
6

Understand exactly what's included in your quote

Before signing off, confirm what the quote covers. Common add-ons that aren't always included: concept design and revisions, surface preparation, access equipment hire, and protective topcoat for outdoor walls.
All Blackbook Ink quotes cover concept mock ups, revision rounds, materials, surface prep and installation. Any additional costs are itemised and explained upfront — no surprises.

What clients say

Real reviews from councils, schools, businesses and homeowners across Australia.

Brode was very efficient, responsive and professional and produced a wonderful, colourful and very detailed mural for our site at Roseville Chase Oval.

Joanna DurneyKu-ring-gai Council

The Rotary Club of Camden is pleased to support Brode. He was easy to deal with, patient and understanding and during a brief work-shop provided useful suggestions and ideas. His end product was outstanding and it has already received many favourable comments.

Chris EvansThe Rotary Club of Camden

Brode's art and creative flair has brought joy to the students and teachers at our school! Thank you for sharing your talent with our community 🙂

Melissa ParkerMadang Ave Public School

The rhino mural Brode created for us delivered well above our expectations and was the best decision we made for our new home. It brought the wow factor we were looking for, and we can’t believe how real it looks.

Cassy KingsResidential Project

The talented artists from Blackbook Ink recently completed a beautiful Australian native scene on an otherwise unattractive wall at our school. It looks magnificent and the students of our school just love it.

Bernadette RobsonSt Paul the Apostle - Winston Hills

Working with Brode and the team was a great experience! Highly recommend booking Blackbook Ink for your next corporate gig.

Hannah JenkinsCorporate Event

I engaged Blackbook Ink to complete a large mural on the exterior of the venue I manage. I could not be happier with the outcome and process. Blackbook understood what I was trying to achieve and worked closely with me to obtain a fantastic outcome. Happily recommend for any project, and I will be using again within the venue

A graffiti artist specialises in aerosol technique, bold lettering and urban visual styles rooted in street culture. A mural artist may use a broader range of mediums including hand painting, mixed media and illustrative styles. Blackbook Ink’s artists work across both — the brief determines the approach. See our muralist for hire page for more.

Yes — commissioned graffiti art is fully legal when the property owner has given consent and the artist carries appropriate insurance. Blackbook Ink is fully insured and handles all permissions and WHS compliance as standard. We only accept legally commissioned work.
