hey,
anyone know of any designated spots for graffiti artists in dublin? or even any common places where taggers and graffiti artists hang out in dublin?

Why do you want to know? You won't really find any of them hanging out.

If I did see them, I'd probably try to fire bullets at them. Graffiti is one thing that i really disagree with. It's one thing to make "art", it's another to force it on other people. And "designated" spots are no excuse...

Graffitti "artists" should be rounded up and forced to erect huge billboards advertising consumer goods and services. :mad:

Even better, get them lowlifes to remove chewing gum off the streets.

I personally love admiring the graffiti in places. I mean the good stuff, though, the ones that are real pieces of art. Not just the random scrawls.
I never knew there were designated places... it's a good idea, though.

There are no sponsored graffiti writers in Ireland.

There is a big difference between scrawled Tags and proper graffiti. I think when it is done properly, it looks great. Otherwise its cack

I dunno about dublin but there is some good graffiti in cork - the car park on white street. It's changed every 6 months or so. 1 guy did a black and white portrait of Roy Keane (god knows why - he may be a corkonion but the guys an idiot!) but it's really good. I studied art in Crawford college for 2 years and was disappointed I couldn't get into photography (was full)so failed as that is where I get my inspiration!. Ah well...not sure if this helps.

No its a grey area (i think that is waht it is called anyway) which means that it is not actually legal but the guards do not seem to care. This is what I have been told by a few of my freinds who are a bit more into graffiti than I am.
