Graffiti around Houston

Mmmkay, this is gonna seem small and worthless. Truly. Because I can't really get out and about enough.

I live in Houston, mmkay? It's hard enough to find graffiti around here as it is, so I'm just uploading two (very poor excuses for) pictures this time.

However, I managed to find a much better example of graffiti. Rejoice all.



No Parking, Towaway zone. Graffiti and a sticker.



A spray-painted "Triple T" sign in a certain high school in Houston, Texas. Definitely graffiti, but nobody's complaining.



Environmental graffiti, power-washed into the sidewalk. Translation: "From Rock to Reggae, everything is in the earth."

Mmkay, I know you probably haven't heard much of environmental graffiti. Basically, advertising companies built a stencil, then power-wash it into the ground for a fee. They are hired by a large variety of people, and are able to get away with this because they're technically cleaning the part of pavement they're on. This is a huge loophole; also, in order to get rid of this particular piece of graffiti, the city will have to pay to have the entire strip of sidewalk it happens to be on cleaned.

.....better post than I thought it would be.....
