“To do something that big and bold”
“7 alleged members of L.A. tagging crew arrested”: http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jan/29/local/me-big-taggers29.
In the macho, braggart, narcissistic world of Los Angeles tagging, no one can match the Metro Transit Assassins crew
These are not kids from the streets
one of the suspects drives a $60,000 BMW while another wore a diamond-and-ruby-encrusted Metro logo pendant valued at $27,000
Authorities have long been frustrated by MTA
the taggers outdid themselves when they hit the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River in downtown’s industrial district
it took about 400 gallons of paint — 300 gallons of white and 100 gallons of black — to create three block letters that cover a three-story-high wall
The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that removing the MTA tag from the river alone will cost $3.7 million
MTA — also known as Melting Toys Away and Must Take All — has been generating buzz in the graffiti art world for several years
“There is so much demand for street art right now,” Gastman said
“It is definitely a statement,” Gastman said. “To do something that big and bold it takes organization”
