Quaker Then/Qaekr Now


The merchants along Indy's Massachusetts Avenue make efforts 
to restore and retain anchors of our past, as evidenced by
the overlapping generations of painted signs on the side of this building.
Not far away, a tagger calling himself "Qaekr" has called back
the familiar face from Quaker Oats advertising,
adapting the iconic portrait for the slaps he sticks onto
lamp posts, mail boxes, walls, and street lights.
While I didn't immediately see an example of the artist's
graffiti, photos of his work and the sticker from all around 
the Midwest have been posted on-line.
