Seedy little alleyway corner. It was gross even getting back here for pics, but it still is slammed with street art, and some tags running since 06!

Huge tag combo going on with this dumpster behind Fairfax.
Love the way this looks with so many different handstyles, and not a lot of capping.

JR Tagged Downtown
In addition to being hit up on Melrose, this JR mural also got tagged up downtown.
What happened on Melrose brought up a lot of discussion about the whether it was a good addition or pure vandalism. It seemed nearly everyone agrees that if you're going to hit something like this, it'd better be a fill in.
But what we haven't heard anyone say, is that these tags violate one of the biggest unwritten rules of graffiti, and that is, if you're going to go over something, you've got to do it bigger and better.
Tag, You're It
Cool effect with a grip of tags slammed on this dumpster in downtown Los Angeles.
See a lot from Cost Krew on there along with a ton of others.
Banksy's Caution Tagged and Removed!
When we saw the earlier pics of Banksy's being defaced, it made our stomach drop. This one makes us sick to our stomach. Click the jump below for more pics and info
We feel as bad about this one as it possibly could be. We were stingy with the location, and thought that by not publicly putting out the location we could help this get documented, saved, and preserved. Unfortunately, it seems everything went wrong and it got tagged, and chopped out to be sold before most people could see it. Fuck.
The piece reportedly got tagged by someone who rolled up, got out of a car, tagged it, ran back to the car and drove away.
And a short while later, some workman showed up and sawed the piece out of the wall to be put up for sale.
This is as bad as it gets. First of all, we hate to see the bullshit tagging like this. It is the worst part of graffiti culture, and a part that we have never understood. It is incredibly smile minded to think that defacing something or ruining something somehow gives any credibility. It only shows you are a hack. You haven't brought anything to the table, the only contribution you have made to the world is by ruining something that was once beautiful. Well, everyone's already forgotten your name, they just remember that some asshole defaced a Banksy. Hope you're proud. We love tagging and love getting up, but shit like this happens too much, and gives graffiti a bad name in general (and most writers would agree).
Secondly, we thought that by protecting the location, we could give it time to get the site protected for more people to see. Unfortunately, instead of preserving it, the owner chopped it out of the wall. And folks won't get to see it after all.
And finally, we feel like real assholes for not posting the location earlier. We have learned a big lesson in the role of this blog, and if we aim to get the information out, we can't cherry pick and while we might be in touch with the pulse of the streets, we can't ultimately control what happens on the streets.
Such a sad story, and we pledge to give the location details on any and all locations from here on out.
Double Fuck~
