Desa MTA is the tag of the legendary graffiti writer hailing Robert Morrissey from NYC. Nicknamed the “Million Dollar Vandal”, Desa became one of New York City’s most reviled citizens, a prolific graffiti writer. As Desa, the moniker that brought him this hate, Morrissey was infamous. Though there were graffiti writers who had done more damage, none matched Desa when it came to the wrath of the Vandal Squad. So notorious was this cat and mouse relationship that the newspapers frequently wrote about his escapades and a book was written about him – titled Million Dollar Vandal, which chronicles the story of Desa’s violent and tragic life, from his Bushwick childhood through to the present day with every bit of it punctuated with the graffiti that has brought him fame and a world of trouble. Desa is still active today, and deserves as much recognition and respect as any of the best.
