To those who have recently browsed by here and found a malicious piece of code (JS) that would forward you to stupid places on the internet…I’m very sorry. The wordpress installation was outdated here and inevitably got hacked by some lame script kiddie. Anyways, it’s been all cleared up and fixed. Sorry again.
By the way, new updates and pics coming very soon!
This past Wednesday, authorities said they finally had arrested the MTA crew, including “Smear.” In a series of raids conducted Wednesday morning, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials arrested Cristian Gheorghiu (32), aka “Smear”, at his home in the east Hollywood area. They also arrested Shaun Alexander, 27; Sergio Ayala, 25; Eduin Miramontes, 23; Nicholas Rem, 28; Juan Rocha, 22; and Ryan Swenson, 27, also at their homes in the Los Angeles area.
According to the Los Angeles County Sherrif’s office MTA is responsible for some of the city’s most notorious acts of vandalism, most notably L.A.’s largest tag: the giant, half-mile-long “MTA” scrawl that appeared last year along the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River near downtown. (See figure 1.1)

More information will surely follow.
Blasting on the nightly news here in southern California on FOX, BUKET has been picked up by police. He was found, you guessed it, through his and others’ postings on YouTube.
A notorious graffiti vandal who features his work on YouTube has been arrested.
Cyrus Yazdani, also known by his graffiti tag “Buket,” was arrested Tuesday when he showed up for an appointment with his probation officer, the Sheriff’s Department said.
Yazdani was booked on multiple felony counts of vandalism for allegedly causing thousands of dollars in property damage.
So, a while back I went on a trip to Las Vegas and posted some of the pictures I took while we were driving around. Well, without even further delay, here are more pictures!
Here’s a gem that I found on the Las Vegas Strip across the street from the Miracle Mile Shops, which are next to the new Planet Hollywood (old Aladdin). It’s always nice to see the Vegas nick names living up to their meanings.
More to come shortly.
So, I’ve decided instead of continually posting about single news articles, I will now post a “weekly world news update” in which I will group all of the news articles I’ve come across to post into one giant news update. So, here we go!
Just getting mad won’t solve our city’s graffiti plague – You’re damn right it won’t. You guys up in Stockton need to wake up to the real problem, which the writer of this specific news piece tried to convey.
Cops Nab Bay Ridge Graffiti Perps – Police have not ruled out that the graffiti could be gang related because it included the characters “L2D.†…not always the case Mr. smart investigator! I swear to God I’d take all of your jobs!
More to come very soon.
If you haven’t noticed, the layout and system here has been upgraded as of recent. The new layout is more “web 2.0″ oriented and we hope you guys like it. Some design elements and other features are still being worked out so please give us some time to get things here just right.
I can’t believe this is the first time I heard about this story as it’s been on AMW’s website since February and was also aired on local network TV last week on the infamous television show.
Here’s the details:
Cops say Candy Ellen Srichandr is bad news: a graffiti artist and a stripper, they say she’s gone from defacing public property with her spray paint to taking part in a heinous murder. When gunfire erupted at a SoCal art show, a family man who Srichandr considered a rival was dead, and Candy was nowhere to be found. Now, police have put this Valley Girl where she belongs: in a cage.
That’s a direct quote from the America’s Most Wanted website.
The story will be airing within the next half hour on FOX 11 (channel 11 on basic cable) in southern California.
More quotes:
In the middle on the night on February 8, 2008, cops say Candy Srichandr was nabbed in Long Beach, Calif. Investigators were tracking her journey with the assistance of your leads, and they knew for sure she was hiding out in St. Louis and parts of Colorado.
It wasn’t until an anonymous tipster contacted a U.S. Marshal in Los Angeles to tell him that Srichandr may be hiding out at a residence in Long Beach. Our investigator and his team headed out to the location — but not expecting to find Srichandr.
They honestly thought she was still in Colorado. To their surprise, she was inside the residence, arrested her immediately, and shipped her off to the Van Nuys station in the San Fernando Valley. She’s locked behind bars, and awaiting her hearing with a judge.
More to come!
UPDATE:
I’ve been getting loads of feedback about this post and you guys need to calm down.
About posting images of graff when I find them: If you don’t want certain people to know where you are and where you’re getting up then maybe you shouldn’t get up at all? Don’t blame me for your own stupidity, you shouldn’t even be graffing in illegal spots to begin with.
About “name dropping”: I post the names of the writers where it’s already legible! If I can’t read it or don’t recognize the writer myself I won’t post a name. And isn’t having a handle enough to hide behind anyways? I mean, that’s what they’re used for, right? So, please, stop blaming others for your own stupidity. Pzz.
I went to Las Vegas and all I got was these lousy graffiti pictures:
GAMOS – Barstow Area, CA
DOC – Baker, CA
Indecline – Las Vegas, NV
JABS & Indecline – Paradise, NV
Much more to come!!
I’ve been surfing around more and more recently and have stumbled onto a lot.
Here’s a few:
A wannabe MS13 teen sprays cars, runs away, gets caught.
AUGOR’s There Will Be Blood billboard was just featured on the Fox 11 nightly news here in southern California. The image below is the only one I could find at the moment. Enjoy.
