December 2007 Archives

So last week I went to my first sticker art show called Peel Here 07. The stickers ranged from fancy stickers printed on shiny origami style paper displayed in frames to sharpie doodles on those priority mail stickers you can get from the post office.

A lot of the stuff wasn't really my style. Maybe it was just me, but I couldn't get into the scary clown and one-eyed bunny illustrations. But it was amazing to see the range of stickers and how much they can mean to their creators and the people who see them.

One of the best features of the show was outside where they had set up a bus bench and newspaper boxes for people to sticker. Not that those kept people contained to only stickering the dedicated areas. For blocks around the show you could see small groups of kids lifting each other up to slap stickers up on street signs and light posts.

It was all very inspiring and made me want to make more stickers. And not that this show is representative of the sticker world, but in any case we need more feminist stickers!

I've been busy getting a new sticker printed and December seems to have snuck up on me. I hope those of you in the Midwest and New York are surviving the winter weather. I'm drinking some hot chocolate for you right now!
