Blacktop Graffiti Magazine is back!!!?????? IT IS!!! Scroll down.

Is it????? I'm looking in to getting my 'zine going again. I hated that it died. But finding advertising was a pain. I just couldn't get the money together for printing. So it went belly up.

But I got a lot of people tell me to do an online magazine. I'm a print purist. I love the feel of a magazine. BUT!!!! I really want this to work. So I was thinking I could do both. A print and online magazine. I could make it available really cheap online(like a buck or something) and then have small amounts printed up. Of course the goal is print only. It's all up in the air at this moment. I'm just looking for some feedback.

Here is a link to issue #3 to see what it would look like. Let me know what you think. Or if your independently wealthy and want to invest! HA!

Very nice Randy!

 

Wow - very Kool. hope that you can find someone with $$ to help with it. not everyone on here are low buck guys, like me

 

Maybe think about going to a little book size!

 

hi that looks badass why dont you charge the owners a fee to put there cars in it a small fee to have your story & car in a mag i know i would do it !!

just saying !!

 

I've thought about little book size before. Printing is just too damn expensive. I could have gotten done in China for dirt cheap but that just didn't feel right at all.

oldschoolgasser55 that's an idea but it would the same as pay to play in the music world(ask me how I know!). KILLER build though!!!!!!!!!!!

Any other ideas? Would people pay $1 or 2 for an issue?

 

Kool and very creative.

 

Very nice! Love it!

just checked it out.. I like it.. the online version is pretty cool too.. hope it works out for you.. Id support it

 

Very cool! We need this!

 

Don't know why, but I can't see the preview you linked to.

 

How do you get only the people who pay for it to view it? And how do you keep them for sharing it with others for free?

 

Issue #3 has been out for a couple of years, so I'm just letting people take a look. I'll charge for #4. I'm still working out all the details. Thanks for the great response!

 

Ok, thanks! I was considering the same thing for a book and was curious how to keep people from abusing the priviledge and sharing without others paying for it.

 

Hi Randy,

I remember you magazine frome years ago. I subscribed and loved it. I know that I was approched by some of your contributors and sent in loads of photos and a story on my '40 coupe.
hope to see it soon in #4.

Good luck and I'll be there for you!

I loved your magazine and purchased each issue even bought some shirts to help keep it alive, also the best was page 26/27 of #3 that is TimmP and Me checking out the 32 at the drags.
Anyway I think it is a good idea to bring it back I just have a problem reading while on the throne my damn computer is so heavy....maybe an I-pad is in my future.

 

OK folks it's on! Give me a bit to get the website up and running. The hope is get limited print run but it will also be available online for a buck or two. I'm thinking of having the print version be slightly different to make it worth it.

For everyone who subscribed, your subscription is still valid. That was the worst part about dumping everything, I felt like I screwed people. I'm not like that at all. So you will be getting your moneys worth!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone. It's good to be back!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

awsome

 

I liked it a lot.
Let us know how it turns out.

 

cant waite to see more sign me up!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats awesome , congrats

 

Alright it's back! The first three issues are available free as a digital download(you can also purchase a print version if you want). The print version prices are high because it's print on demand. I'm hoping to change that in the future. I want to get Blacktop Graffiti on the newsstands!!!!!!!!

So tell me what you think and I'll let you know when the website is up.

Excellent,loved it. Exterminator

 

Randy, this is awsome! So what is going on with #4 is it completely new or will those who sent in everything be in this issue ? I am just wondering either way I am glad that your up and running.

 

If you had anything that was suppose to be in issue #4 send it again. My hard drive crash took everything!

 

Nice mag - cool cars and no nonsense. Good luck!

 

Awesome, very cool!

 

Website is up. Pretty basic for the moment, I'll be updating a lot over the next week.
