Hi,...

I hope this post is ok for the moderators!

I've just started a project called writershops.com with the intention to provide a list, which is the best and most completed list for graffitishops worldwide ever. But I need the help from all of you guys! Every writer know how userfull and essential such shops are, when you head to another city/country. The good thing on graffiti shops is; you can get in contact with other writers or get information about local spots/hall of fames, besides the supply of paint and caps.

Anyway, I've just put the site online today and there are just a few shops listed and I really need your help. Because I'm from Germany, there are mostly german shops listed. So don't expect too much atm.

If you want to submit your local graffti store: I'd be appreciated - but please do not submit online-only or DIY stores

this is my project site: http://www.writershops.com/

thx + cheers,
biophonc

Shops open and close like crazy so I hope you keep the list updated.

Thanks for choosing 12oz to sign up on and use your only post to hype your little project and simultaneously exclude our online store, classy.

Well, there are a lot of online shops and for some people *very* usefull, because there are no such stores in ther neighborhood. But, you can not go to an onlineshop and ask for local spots or meet writer. Thanks to such shops I've found cool spots and met cool people. _ Over here I have 2 shops just round the corner and another one 10 minutes away and whenever I "go shopping" I often see people from all over europe askin a lot of questions.

You won't find any public announcements for real writer corners or parties, so you have to ask someone. People on the net won't tell you names/numbers/places because they don't know who you are.

And yeah, I'll try to keep the list updated as possible, by implementing within the next few days a report a dead shop button and later a comment function for the people.

12oz; wasn't there a gallery up once?

However, it was not my intention to exclude your online shop because it's not good but it's virtual. So if you don't like this thread, feel free and delete it.

cheers, biophonc

yep. but wait _ no yards, but to know where a good track/line is, is also cool. I don't know, maybe because I was a foreigner. When I was new to berlin, I also asked for hall of fames here and at overkill for example they have printed maps with two or three hall of fames.

Sup people,

Im the editor-in-chief of Graffiti Pimp Magazine and i'm looking for Aussie Writers/Artists who want to make a name for themselves in the culture and break into the mainstream teen markets.
We will pay $50 to the author/artist any content PUBLISHED but in addition if you nominate yourself as being feature article worthy and we agree to make you our feature Graf Pimp we will conduct an interview with you and try to arrange a suitable pictorial showcaseing you in the act.
We dislike authority and will never roll on any of you, believe that.
i've been down for the cause since i was 15 (im 22) and only wish to represent my fellow hoods and bring what we all know is the most dope form of modern art to the masses.
We want your stories (alias only- no real name please if ill) we want your art to showcase(as above)
WE ALSO WANT SEXY FEMALES interested in graf artists who would like to pose for centrefolds, pay $150 if selected no cost for photography just send us a amatuar sample pic showing ur wares if selected we will arange a photoshoot to suit your schedule.
Sketch art welcome, piece and throwups chromes etc welcome, no tags unless they're real good.

A position exists for a permanant artist to do a series of cartoons published in each magazine 1 episode per magazine forever, if this is you and you want to get in on the ground floor of a magazine thats going up and up send us sample work and we can discuss our options.
The prices for submissions i've outlined are subject to change (thats going up in price not down, chill) as the magazine takes off i will be sharing our profits with the graffiti community, sponsering freewalls and events and paying contributors more.
email [email protected] and i'll respond within 48hrs to all emails.
release date mid 2007. I can tell you the business end is tight, printers, distributers are also on board. there is a mostly blank magazine waiting for your personal touch.
