Wednesday, December 5, 2007 – Graffiti Anger

In the alleys behind Melrose Avenue, the graffiti changes all the time – this is what the CBS Crew is up to now "Graffiti Alley" in the last month of 2007.  The mood has changed.

For reference you can look at this low-resolution video and get a sense of the place. And there is this short video documentary – "Want to see graffiti art in L.A.? Forget the wine, cheese and art-worldese spoken in trendy Culver City galleries. Hit the alleys behind Melrose Avenue to see the unabridged works of L.A.'s famed CBS Crew."

The CBS Crew – City Bomb Squad or Can't Be Stopped or whatever – is responsible. Don't mess with them.
