This Oklahoma Life: Everything Will Be OK
I came across this graffiti in Oklahoma City’s Paseo Arts District recently. It’s a graffiti stencil of a little boy laughing and across several buildings the message, “Everything will be OK.”
Is this guerrilla art? Graffiti? I think it’s both!

I think these words are so powerful. I started documenting graffiti for a lot of reasons, and through this journey, I’ve come to see it so differently. These words are Biblical: No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us…and dozens more. Happy New Year!!
I love this! My friend makes fun of me because I always say, “Everything’s going to be okay”. She’ll tell me her problems then she will say, well I have friend that says, “everything’s going to be okay. So funny. Happy New Year friend.
No, I have no idea. They were all in a two-block area of OKC’s Ward 2 – on the fringe of an arts district called Paseo. They reversed the stencil of the laughing boy in a couple places. I think as a collection they do make an interesting statement. It’s almost personal. I wish I knew what was going to be OK. “Everything will be OK.” It’s a bit of a mixed bag in terms of presentation in the concrete jungle.
Amazing that you found these in so many places? Do you know the story behind it?
