I think this little piece is by SINER.
KOG- Killers of Giants; Founded by SINER in 1992, members include FISHE, FUTUR, KRYST, and TABOO among several other LA greats.
LTS, L2S- Last to Serve or Last to Survive; Founded in 1987 by SANE and MARK 7 this crew includes members like SINER, ZES, AYER, and PYSA among many many others.
Pretty sure this is by KOG member JHER 451.
I’ll admit that this is a really shitty picture, but this piece is definitely by SINER, also done in 2005.
Just learned that is actually by KOG member LOKUS.
By KOG member KLEAN.
Unknown artist.
Looking at the names of the members of the LTS and KOG crews, I think this is by KRYST, though I can’t be sure. One of the things I love about graffiti is how the artists take their craft of writing names to a level of abstraction. Most pieces are taken so far artistically that I can’t even make out what they say and that is the way it should be!
Here it is—SINER’s Welcome to Los Angeles piece that I had only seen in books! Done way back in 2005, you can really see it’s age in the faded paint colors and all the toy tags that surround it. Still, we found it!! So freakin’ exciting!!
