Angelenos prattle on about their "richly diverse" environments, except when those they've defensively dubbed with diplomatic euphemisms show up for a picnic and an afternoon of spray painting. Once upon a time, the local police would have pulled over a carload of Tatums, Smuks, and Mireyas before they were two blocks from the freeway off-ramp, but that isn't done anymore, and you get to share nature equally.CMCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554338.post-72391919710084915572009-09-24T08:26:12.452-07:002009-09-24T08:26:12.452-07:00I meant to blog about this, but the good news is, ...I meant to blog about this, but the good news is, I hiked up there last weekend, and 99% of the graffiti in these pics and videos has been covered over. It might seem just as bad to hear about rocks being painted over to "remove" the graffiti, but it really is so much better. Since the abatement, a few minor new tags have re-appeared, but it's significantly better down there now.Jeremiah Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730077455720344996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554338.post-62335749002291084302009-09-24T02:10:05.501-07:002009-09-24T02:10:05.501-07:00So sad, too painful to see the whole video.So sad, too painful to see the whole video.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365916250882259461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554338.post-36327197786661388102009-06-14T13:05:43.064-07:002009-06-14T13:05:43.064-07:00@Isaac: hahaha!

Some of the other large multi-color tags are Tatum, Smuk, Mireya and a aborted attempt at Voner. Vonbon/Voner, Cupcake and Caspar are fairly prevalent as small tags. There are also a few groupings with other tags mixed in like Bugs. I also note that there are at least two instances where 09 is written.<br /><br />In design school I read a few books about "subway art" which featured many dozens of photographs of quite accomplished and sophisticated graffiti compositions. With regard to the artistic merit of this defacement, it all looks very crude and ham handed, leading me to think that this is a bunch of rookies. So even if it were not painted on the most inappropriate location possible, it has zero artistic merit. My instinct is that this was a bunch of high school kids.Jeremiah Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730077455720344996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554338.post-41826127879286535202009-06-14T12:53:48.830-07:002009-06-14T12:53:48.830-07:00Hey man, its art.
