Guerrilla Art on the CTA

This really cracked me up, as noted over at the CTA Tattler:

Pac-Man-like graphics pop up on CTA emergency signs

"Today on the train somebody wanted to take a picture of the cartoonish emergency exit instructions. There are four pictures, but someone has cleverly (in the same style as the originals ) replaced three of the pictures.

"One picture shows the train flooded with water, the other (2nd from top) shows the figure crawling on the floor and one figure emerging from the box next to the door and the lower picture shows a giant hand shaking the train as it approaches the platform. This was done on one car only, however, cleverly done."


Check out the links for some photos of the graphics.


Update
Also, Anna notes in the comments at CTA Tattler:

There's at least one more set running on the Red Line (noticed at Howard one night when the laughter was sorely needed). They are as follows:

#1: Tiny ninja cutting off figure's ear
#2: Car filled with figures, one figure crowd-surfing
#3: Extremely large hand picking up right hand car
#4: Conductor with devil horns and pitchfork looming over the damned (on the track)
#5: Figure jump-kicking the train off of the track.

Guerrilla art on the CTA. Who knew? At least it's funny and creative, unlike a bunch of spray-painted gang signs that deface public property only to "mark turf."
