i think the costs of the sign is a little ridiculous. i'm thinking its just propoganda to make people afraid to go graff.
but he should have known the risks, but RIP. From the pics it seems like he was very good at it though.

Graffiti has been apart of american art and culture for over 30 years. Doing it in its original location(urban landscape) will always be part of its culture. It's like Street Drifting. Yes there is events but there is still nothing like a good street session.

I got the word that it was Merk but it wasn't Merk from FDC it was someone else who wrote Merk. Apparently what happened is the writers word warned about doing the signs on the highway so they greased the metal poles so they slip and fall off. This is word through the grapevine through some writers.
Tragic.
I think his family should look into that. Because that would mean a big lawsuit to the State!
naw its merk
what they said happened is that after he threw up the tag he stepped back to look at his work and fell off.

if it is indeed merk from fdc, sad to hear. and although the only time i met him he wasnt so cool with me (cuz ive been writing merik for idk, 6 years now) my blessings go out to his family and friends. graff opinions should not have a part here, he died, dont fill with tax dollar crap. although i know that from now on anytime i write up ima get hated on for having a similar name but w.e.

So you come on here and post an article on a public forum and then tell people to only say nice things because you happen to have met the guy???
Seriously fuck off.
The guy died doing something he clearly loved. Rest in Peace.
He also cost the rest of us lots of money, using funds from the highway fuel tax money to replace expensive signs rather than repairing things that could make the roads better and safer.... endangering other peoples lives.
So youre cool with a big flashy tag on a sign that will last for maybe 2 weeks, but I am sure you will bitch that someone wasnt doing their job when your homeboy bends his new set of Works on the badly maintained roads in South Florida....
Again, FUCK OFF.
You should probably look into killing yourself.
Fuck people who think like you.
Maybe he shoulda thought about his son/daughter before climbing up on a sign over a highway..... I feel bad for the child, not the guy

i agree with most of what you said here minus the rip part to him.... shouldnt have been doing it, thats the cost for doing something illegal
i dont know whats worse. how u can talk down about people u didnt fucking know. i posted cuz i know there where people here who knew him also. being a hypocrite im willing to bet u have street slide or something along the lines that wasnt legal.
i find it fucked up how one dip shit can post something who in other words have nothing to do with the topic. but to show how much of a dick you are in life post something like that in a r.i.p topic.
on closing i hope u die doing something stupid on the street so i can go piss on ur grave for being so argent.
