   although its deceiving, its part of the game. writers do graff, cities buff them. Its always gonna be that way. as a writer you have to live with the reality that there’s always the risk of your hit getting buffed even the next day.

   It’s had its run. Like anything, it can’t last forever. You can’t expect graff to last, its very nature is ephemeral. You also have to respect and enjoy this ephemeral aspect of graff by accepting the fact that it’s gonna get buffed at some point.

   Yeah L.A. because that white sloppy mess looks wayyy better right? F*** the system! City officials should learn the difference between some asshat writing “F*** you” on a school wall or a self glorification masterpiece such as saber’s which is on the bank of a gross, garbage laden, dump of a river in bullshit L.A.

    to everyone saying that it is good that this masterpiece is gone or that “nothing of value was lost” do you honestly think a huge white spot in the middle of the disgusting LA river is better than a work of art that took months to finish

    It’s sad to say it, but this happens to all legendary pieces one day. It’ll happen to Cope and Seen and Daim and even Banksy.

    It’s sad to see this go, but the best thing to do about it? Get out there, paint, and show the system that we don’t give up no matter what those fuckers buff.

    its the ignorance of the people that do this sorta shit u gotta wonder what the fuck must they be thinking when there buffing it, honestly when someone puts in the effort to do this not just this massive burner but pieces everywhere because seriously think off the wall befor that shit was on there, like a drain or a messed up truck, wall under a bridge like there is nothing truly beautiful about these sorts of places. graff adds color style, something intriguing to the eye just open ur minds and eyes, try start seeing the world as a colorful place.

    to the incompitant asshole who got first post, “nothing of value was lost” even following your ignorant criticism, one can find that although you have appreciation for art. you must come to the conclusion that tons of fuckin paint was wasted… and as the user above me said… although its a shame that its buffed… it will never be forgotten. I dont tag/write, I honestly think alot tags these days are kinda trash… fucking kids are retarded… but this however, this is just art

    Although done illegally, it enhanced the ugliest piece of government construction in the world. Do you know why they don’t hit Golden Gate Bridge? Its beautiful. Why are the politicians that built the LA river thrown in prison for ruining the natural flow of a river? Now only homeless and gangs rule a river area that a whole city could enjoy with walkways, etc. Artists are merely trying to beautify the ugliest area in LA and the LAPD, City attorney waste tax payers dollars on this? Really a sad day. Only dictatorships like North Korea and China have gone after graffiti more agressively. Why let our democracy settle into this perversion of a police state?
