The other day, Ted and I passed through Atlanta Bench on Marietta Street in search of some big, juicy, drippy graffiti markers for a special project. We were pleased to find a large selection of Montana paints, Krink products, and apparel by lots of local graf writers and artists such as Urban Medium. We spent some time talking to the store’s owner, Rich, and we’re looking forward to working with them in the near future. Also, we discovered a new ink called Soup, which is made locally right here in ATL. For any outside-the-box project, it’s definitely great having a boutique like this in our backyard.

I dropped by Motive807, Austin Texas’ world-famous streetwear & sneaker boutique, while I was in town last week. They carry many great brands and boast the best sneaker selection for a single store in the southwest. Fahad, the store’s owner, let me take some photos of the shop, gave me his thoughts on the NFL playoffs, and he suggested some Austin grub to check out. See store photos after the jump.
