Monsters of Art, or MOA(S), is a Danish graffiti crew. The group was started by the Danish graffiti-artist Mins in 1991 when the original members were all teenagers.[1]
They initially chose the name Mennesker Og Alkohol (transl. people and alcohol) before deciding on an English-name with which they could use the same acronym.[2]
In 2001, a man accused of being crew founder Mins was arrested when caught painting illegally in Copenhagen.[3] He later received a four month prison sentence, as there was insufficient proof that he was the person who wrote the tag Mins.[4]
