You might notice there are no ads on allthoseshapes. Keeping it ad-free so as not to be hypocritical. Damn poster boys steal heaps of art/graff walls and the public lets them cause advertising is more acceptable. allthoseshapes is not a business and needs a little help so now we’ve added a donate button. Fragments and Modulations the two follow up street art books were meant to be out by now but seeing as they are self funded and allthoseshapes are always out taking photos instead of working earning money, they have not been possible.

If we’ve helped you get artists or youre an artist who has got gigs via allthoseshapes and you can spare some coin, please do! If you like what allthoseshapes does and can help, yeah please do! If you want to sell copies of figment at your event or in your shop, please let us know!
