I was headed home from work the other day and I caught the writing below out of the corner of my eye. I was on a one way street and so turned off and went up an alley back to it and took a picture. I got home and  saw my big ole fat thumb on the edge of the photo. So I went back the next morning to try again.<\/span><\/p>\n

It looks to me like an overlapped work judging by the background. The core area of downtown is pretty much devoid of graffiti. Lots of big empty walls and they are just blank. Actually I’m thankful. A little bit of graffiti goes a long ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you look closely though you can spot micro Graffiti. (I just made that name up. Feel free to use it though.) I found the above and the following in the “Blue Dome” District of Tulsa’s downtown, just east of the core downtown area.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was pasted on paper. I have no idea what it means, do you?<\/span><\/p>\n

More signs just a few inches tall on a street sign. I like how the colors of the sticker and the sign are similar. You can bet that the writer’s belt and shoes match, and his murse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the standpipes have stickers on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another example of sticker graffiti.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also found a micro poster on an electrical junction box cover.  I’m all excited about all this micro-subversion (another term I invented, please by all means use if you feel led) going on in here in Oklahoma. It is going on right under our noses. Ironically the micro poster and and micro graffiti above are all within about 100 feet of the first geocache that SuperPizzaBoy and I planted a few years ago Tulsa Time<\/a> which has been found 370 times so far. I hate to admit this but it is a “microcache” ( I didn’t invent that term.) Does that make me part of the microsubversion going on in the Blue Dome District? <\/span>

Check out Graffiti Wednesday<\/a> by my friend Jen<\/a>, she posts about Graffiti quite frequently on Wednesday. <\/span>

One last thing,  from the Broken Arrow, OK “Chalk it Up Festival” this past weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

 THUNDER UP!<\/span><\/div>\n

My apologies to Miami Heat<\/a> Fans. The Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> is the only major league professional sports team we have, if you don’t count the University of Oklahoma<\/a> Football Team that is. I’m a huge Thunder fan, have been for days.<\/span>

<\/span>
Let me ask you: Have you seen any micro-graffiti where you live? How about micro-subversion? I want to know!<\/span><\/p>\n
