Katie Sokoler is doing her part to bring Pacman back to the streets where he belongs with her Pacman street art. This guerrilla art project is the perfect cure for sidewalk blues. I hate the sidewalk blues.

Katie Sokoler is a Brooklyn-based artist and photographer who seems to have a thing for retro arcade games. I wish I could see more Pacman street art where I live. Unfortunately for me, Qbert runs my town.
