Infamous With Style

During the SubSurface 2015 mural project, a group of artists that go by "Infamous with Style" celebrated 20 years of working together by creating this mural on the northeast wall of New Day Craft Mead & Cider building.

If you have some skill at reading the elaborately stylized lettering that surrounds the golden medallion in the center, you can find four names of the artists in the "crew": Dose (upper left); 6Cents (upper right and part of the FAB Crew who founded the SubSurface annual event); Sacred 317 (lower left and co-founder/member of FAB Crew); and Detour (lower right).

I struggle to be able to read the stylized writing, but once I know what it says, I can usually find the letters.

I am glad that Indy had an event like this to bring life and color into areas of town that were struggling with crime/vandalism. I am a firm believer that murals that require talent are the best deterrent to tagging as a matter of respect. No statistics to prove it, but the visual continuity of these murals is much more pleasing for me as a visitor to the neighborhoods.
