Yesterday I went by Tulsa’s only (as far as I know) permission zone for Graffiti, Mad Mike’s Liquor Store in  east Tulsa near 11th and Mingo. I went there this past March and was amazed by the graffiti. I was interested to see how much was new.

I’m guestimating that about 60% of the graffiti from March had been painted over. I’ve found that graffiti doesn’t age well. The colors get dull and flake off fairly quickly so turnover is a good thing.

My favorites of the new stuff is the Hulk. He’ s not as cuddly as the Hulk has become in popular culture. I love how his hands are coming out of the wall.

I also liked this piece although it seems a little disturbing.

There were several pieces with writing. I have no idea what any of this says but love the colors and vibrancy.

The one above might say “Peace” maybe, what do you think?

I noticed some partially painted over work like the above in my last visit. It is hieroglyphics to me. But I like it for some reason.

I notice that some work had been added to since my last visit. Yesterday’s “Sunday Demons” is above, March’s is below.  the outline of the demon has been filled in with white paint.

Some work was similar in style to what I saw in March.

The above is evocative, so is below (from March, now painted over). The colors are totally different.

Here are the tools of the trade.

Blame my friend of JenX67 has got me interested in graffiti. Check the link to see what she is up to.
