I’ll be on a roadtrip through Europe from the 5. to the 16. of July. If anyone wanted to join me painting along the way, just drop me a line (graftrip at gmail.com). I plan on painting in:

• Munich
• Linz
• Vienna
• Budapest
• Zagreb
• Ljubljana
• ...

Sorry!

We’ll have a (hopefully) short downtime today because we’re updating our servers. Thanks for your patience.

Is anyone interested to paint a wall of ± 13 meters on 4 meters in Ghent, Belgium (indoors)?

It’s a commercial job which can only be done on one day which will be around 29-30th October. The price is open to negotiation.

If you’re interested, please get in touch with Joris directly and send us pictures when it’s done.

Sorry guys. The adding walls feature was broken, but we finally fixed this issue today. Thanks to all you loyal legal-walls visitors for letting us know!

We moved the site to another server today. Hit us if anything does not work as expected.

We were quite surprised by a comment that has recently been made on the wall in the Mauerpark Berlin, Germany.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about whether painting there is tolerated or not since it is not officially legal. The fact that it is a great spot (some of us once traveled there too) makes it worth to fight for it.

Feel free to join the discussion at the blog of “Freunde des Mauerparks e.V.” (German).

Here is our little hit list of the most requested walls on legal-walls.net

1. Hall of Fame New York
2. Southbank, London
3. Sydney University Graffiti Tunnel
4. Venice Beach, California
5. Southbank, London

• Yes indeed, Southbank is listed twice on our site.
• Most people reach our site from a search engine.
• Mostly they search explicitly for the wall like “graffiti wall waterloo station” or “legal graffiti walls new york”.
• The most exposed walls out there are requested the most.

We updated some stuff at our servers today which we kind of underestimated. However we ended up with about an hour of non-accessibility.

Sorry folks!

About one third of the walls added at legal-walls.net are located in Great Britain. Wow! Thanks to the second news entry on hurtyoubad.com this weekend no less than 10 walls have been added on Europes largest island. That’s a good occasion to take a closer look to some of the walls there…

Riverside park in Bristol

A quick search on flickr reveals quite a lot of photos. Definitively worth checking out!

Stockwell Skatepark London

This photo by Raphael Mizrahi gives a good overview of the walls around the skatepark.

Chillingham Road Metro in Heaton

Looks like an interesting set of walls. For more shots, check out the flickr search.

Due to to server problems at our hosting provider legal-walls.net has not been available for a few hours today. We’re sorry…

Today we reached the magic number of 100 walls!

Wow, what an eventful time so far… We launched at the beginning of this month and two weeks later the response is by far greater than we expected. Thanks to all of you who contributed walls and comments, to all of you who wrote about us and to all of you who visited this site!

All of this is only possible through you

We made some small improvements today. The most obvious one is that overlapping markers are now being grouped for better clearness. Moreover there are tooltips when the mouse is placed over a walls marker.

We hope y’all like it.

If you’re on flickr, join our flickr group!

Add your legal graffiti flix (please tag and geotag them) to the pool. That way we will be able to display photos of the walls listed here in the future.
