When Street Art is Attacked by the Government, Artist Tags the Sky

Recently, the Los Angeles City Council put a moratorium on murals, meaning that all public art, whether graffiti, tagging, installations, or legal commissioned artwork is now outlawed. Experts are calling the ban “unconstitutional,” but the council is still spending more than $10 million dollars on “graffiti abatement.”

In response, street artist Saber, known for the world’s largest graffiti, uh, installation, hired a skywriter to avoid the streets altogether. 

  Head to Juxtapoz and LA Weekly for details, but the best images I’ve found are at The Hundreds.
