Kwiz Hopper

In 2011 or so, I was shooting only film, and didn’t have a working digital camera. On a rainy day I caught a character outline on a hopper by Kwiz, circa mid 1990s. Being the local graffiti nerd I am, I was very stoked. I’m not sure if many freights were painted in Richmond during the early/mid 90s, but maybe a few. This one was probably painted by convenience, and looks like it was kind of rushed. A block away, there used to be a tag in red that might have been during the same time frame. (It’s barely visible in the last photo, underneath the word “BOX”.)
