Sight UPN

We were recently sent in some pictures of Sight UPN's work. We were also informed of his situation. In 2007, Sight was arrested and sentenced to 8 years and 4 months in the state prison system. More than 8 years in prison for graffiti? That is ridiculous. Criminals for violent crimes get much less prison time.

There may be some good news. Sight is expected to get out early for good behavior. We are all rooting for him! Here are some pictures of his work.

Revok MSK - Almost finished Piece

Last weekend while we were filming in the area, I took a picture of this Revok piece. At this point it was still not finished. You can see the finished production on kzergabegallery.com. The design is based on a sketch by Sueme from Canada. On another note, Haste CBS was painting an amazing wall to the side of this. More coverage on that soon.

Egah UNR

I like it when someone goes crazy and takes over a spot. Tags after tags or throw ups after throw ups. This time, Egah UNR took over a good section on the Pasadena freeway. He had about 6 fill-ins in a row.
