Los Angeles is not the only city buffing commissioned art on legal walls. Recently in the city of Azusa, three graffiti artists (Sky One DTK, Scade CWA and Gino) put together a mural at the request of a local business. Within days of finishing the mural the city put the clampdown on the business owner to remove the mural. You just can't fight city hall, and so a thick coat of paint in the color that represents conformity in today's world, Palomino Biege, was applied. The hard work of the artists, who came together from different parts of the city, is lost forever.
