Found this sticker in the parking lot outside a small town supermarket. It’s big at about four inches square. There’s a disconnect between the professional vinyl color printing and the childlike illustration and type. I have no idea what it means beyond the obvious video game reference, but I do love the pencil scribbled response. When graffiti causes a response, it transforms into a conversation and eventually into a historical timeline.
Saranac, New York
Found this sticker posted up on the west side last week. Really vibrant colors and gradients in the illustration. Still not sure it’s a cat. Maybe an owl? Or a viper? For scale, it was about 3″ x 3″.
Manhattan, New York
Found this little sticker outside the market and 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.
Westchester, New York
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.
West side, Manhattan.
