Latest in a string of MCA memorial billboards popping up in the Los Angeles area is this by legendary graffiti writer, designer, and 12ozProphet blogger Haze.

“I was recently asked to create a memorial piece to honor MCA as part of the billboard project currently going on in LA. The piece just went up yesterday at Santa Monica and Vine, and is the third in a trilogy behind Kaves and Shepard. I was grateful to be given such a public forum to properly celebrate the life of my friend and collaborator Adam Yauch, and hope that these memorials will reverberate among the community that continues to mourn his passing.” -Haze

Also involved in the the project is was another member of the 12ozProphet fam Kaves; his piece shown below.

The Real Deal

Founded in 1993, 12ozProphet was established with the goal of raising the bar for the graffiti world while integrating its distinctiveness into the wider world of popular culture, art and design. In the years since, 12ozProphet has evolved to become a platform for many of its most authoritative voices.
