Augor, Nekst on Western

Mark Mauer
This wall was a jumble of tags and terrible stuff until Augor and Nekst got a hold of it. So hey - it looks like L.A. graffiti is now a national story, and pretty much every commenter on the LA Times website wants every street artist locked up or shot......

CBS Dragon
