No way that was done by a bunch of amateurs. The amount of time to paint something like that would have taken several hours. Nice job though.

My guess is that was done by 2-3 people in a 40 minute session maybe less. Not "professionals". More like kids who were high on more then just paint fumes.

I personally do not like it but interesting viewpoints to consider having trains painted up. The kids who painted it up would never petition to ask to paint up a train because they are drug users. Not career artists.

People who start their careers in art doing vandalism probably will be in deep debt from the get go and need to find something else.

The property damage was probably near $100,000 or more.

I don't like the front tag in orange. The hooks in their writing in orange = criminals. Amateur. I'd rather have better talent in NYC.
