Design History Post 2 - Oct. 12, 2009

For this post I chose the MTA graffiti street gang which ran through the Bronx during the late 1970's. Founded by Chino Malo the group predominantly 'hit' the 2 and 5 trains. Often they found themselves in competition with rival street groups such as 'Lee' and 'Blade.' I chose this group due to the use of color which includes one of the first instances in which I have seen pink used as major color in said 'graffiti scheme.'
