SMEAR arrested for 1km long tag, by Replete on Jan 31, 2009 14:03:27 GMT 1, Actually mate it's a lot less than 1km in length if you check the scale using the cop cars as reference and look at the area on google earth it's no longer than 300 metres in length. And it's not a tag it's a "blockbuster" which is an oversize "dub" done in a straight letter style usally painted in emulsion with rollers ;}
It's also nonsense about the removal cost as they wont remove it as they leave oversize graf in the river channel as there's years worth of graf still there in the same area.
Still impressive but no where as near as Saber's river piece (which is still there) as he did it on his own and took 40 nights and required knee surgery to do it.
Now that's dedication!

SMEAR arrested for 1km long tag, by Replete on Feb 1, 2009 2:48:39 GMT 1, ha ha I've been a computer nerd since I was 6 and proud of it.
And actually google earth is an essential aid to the graffiti writer (I use it alot) as you can use it to scout out new spots you want to paint and see all the ways in and out and the layout/security of the area.
Also most of these large pieces on the floor/roofs/and sloping surfaces are specifically a reaction to google earth as it's a great claim that your piece can be seen from space (well hi definition aerial photography to be exact).
For those that are interested the Saber piece is to be seen at coordinates 34015256 N 1181336 W and the MTA blockbuster is north up the channel after 4 bridges near the 1st st bridge. It's not pictured at the minute on google earth but will turn up in a year or so when they update the photos.

Wow! Relax. LOL...How old are you? I need no lesson kiddo. Not only do I know SABER but I'm older. LOL. There'z more reasonz to hate on SMEAR anyway.
I also never said anything about a "Tag". I just posted the links to the reports. I don't work for the LA Timez. I'm not your enemy. LOL
They actually reported it as being .5 miles long. I've actually seen it in person and it looks about .25 milez long.

SMEAR arrested for 1km long tag, by Replete on Feb 1, 2009 3:53:04 GMT 1, I wasn't getting at you in any way shape or form mate. I was responding to the article more than anything.
I'm so chilled light travels slower around me 
P.S The odd british sense of humour doesnt always translate so well in the US especially in a forum thread. ;D
