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.
They initially chose the name Mennesker Og Alkohol (people and alcohol) before deciding on an English-name with which they could use the same acronym.
In 2001, a man accused of being crew founder Mins was arrested when caught painting illegally in Copenhagen. He was only given four months in prison, as there was not enough proof that he was the person who wrote "Mins".
