Augor defaced freeway spot fixed

I was getting tired of looking at the swastikas that were painted over Augor's piece on the 10 freeway. I cannot make out what the new one says, but I am sure glad the swastikas are painted over.

Ode to the Freeway Bombers

The smell of fresh paint and cars speeding by you at 100 miles per hour... This is the life of the freeway bomber. It is an extremely dangerous sport that only those that are truly insane participate in.

The only upside if you don't get killed is that you are guaranteed that a million people will see your work the next day on their way to work. Graffhead honors the important work of the Los Angeles freeway bombers!

Augor Freeway Spot Defaced

The Augor and Bonkers freeway spot from last week has been defaced with swastikas and racist terms. It is obvious that the Augor piece was specifically targetted because the Bonkers piece right next to it was not touched at all.

It is sad that it has come to this. If you think you can do better than go out and bomb the city and do it better than Augor. Cowardly anonymously writing over his piece with swastikas is plain despicable. At least claim your work.

Ruets Asylm Go Lakers

Too bad the Lakers lost this season. However, this awesome piece still stands strong. I found this gem on the Los Angeles 110 Freeway going south. It is fairly close to Chinatown. This was done by Ruets and Asylm.

Freeway Graffiti is a Dangerous Sport

Source: Los Angeles Times

Man, said to be tagging overpass, injured on 5 Freeway in East Los Angeles

Witnesses say he fell onto the interstate near the Main Street off-ramp with a can of spray paint in his hands.

A man apparently spray painting graffiti on an overpass fell Saturday night onto the 5 Freeway in East Los Angeles, authorities said.Several motorists told authorities that the man had possibly broken his back at about 9:45 p.m. and had a can of spray paint clutched in his hands as he lay on the freeway near the Main Street off-ramp, said California Highway Patrol spokesman David Porter.

Porter said the man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was being treated.The accident comes about three weeks after prolific tagger Cyrus Yazdani -- who goes by the moniker "Buket" -- was arrested for causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.Yazdani is perhaps most recognized for a YouTube video that shows him climbing and spray painting behind the Hollywood Freeway sign near Melrose Avenue as traffic speeds below.

More LA Freeway Graffiti

Some say the city of Los Angeles never sleeps. I am not sure if that's true. I do know that the freeways in Los Angeles never sleep. There are cars on the freeway 24 hours a day.

If you are a freeway graffiti bomber, you are never alone doing your missions. Someone is always watching you work. This is why freeway bombing after heavens (billboards) is the most challenging. You have to be crazy to paint on the freeways.

Here are some pictures taken on the Interstate 10 freeway close to Downtown Los Angeles.
