Found this little sticker outside the market the lettering caught my eye. Definitely a practiced hand at work here — which makes sense if you’re going to go through all the expense of printing stickers. Practice, practice, practice before you print. I do wish the color wasn’t so faded. I bet the original blue was much more vibrant.

I do love these artist created pop up street galleries (as evidenced by this previous post). Plenty of great stickers and illustrations. All it takes is one person to start and others will join in on the fun. I just wish there was a museum tombstone with artist’s names.
Lower East Side, Manhattan.
Two large stickers (or maybe paste up) on the same wall from this artist that struck my eye. Something about the cartoon line work is so reminiscent, but yet I can’t remember what reference it triggers in my memory. Maybe it’s Stimpy from Ren & Stimpy?
Midtown, Manhattan.
A lot of clean lines and great detail in this illustration drawn on the classic, free medium of a USPS mailing label.
West Side, Manhattan.
Speaking as a rider of the New York City subway system, I think we commuters can all relate to this little photo illustration collage sticker.

Belated, obligatory, Valentine’s day post. I’m not sure of the quote/text origin. At least it has some custom lettering (I think, maybe it’s just an off the internet typeface). I like the “A”, like the “O”, don’t like the “B” as it’s really just a “3” and a little too sci-fi for the rest. Kerning could be better too, but…sigh…that’s a lost art these days.
Stuck to a street pole in Brooklyn, New York.
A colorful painted face with just a touch of abstract line work. Painted on a postal address label. It’s an old school graffiti canvas material (as it’s free and easy to share).
Red Hook, Brooklyn.
