One of the best thrills of street art is walking by a piece a dozen times before realize it is there. Here are a few pieces of unauthorized signage that might just pass at first glance, and then once you get the joke, it’s totally obvious.

This piece by D&D, perhaps the kings of this sort of work, has been up since 2003.

Of course, there are hundreds of these sorts of signs. Leave your favorites in the comments section or shoot me an email. I’d love to do a Part 2 of this post.
