New Wheatpaste Series Calls For A Revival of Philly Handmade Stickers
Post and photos by Streets Dept Contributor Eric Dale
Have you seen me? A new series of wheatpastes calling for a revival of Philly handmade stickers went up over the past couple days in various street art hot spots, and IT’S THE BEST THING EVER.
Full of tongue-in-cheek commentary and insider references, these missing posters are a veritable who’s who of the early sticker art scene in Philadelphia. Somebody wants to bring back the good old days, and I’m here for it.
The creator of the series wishes to remain anonymous, but a source informs me that they are not a street artist (well, until now!) The same source says there are now posters representing a total of 19 different sticker artists, with possibly more to come. I’ve only seen 12 so far, so I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye out for more of these!
BONUS: Click any of the following names to read Eric Dale’s pervious interviews with each sticker artist: Darkmeal, Aviz, FaithsFunnn, Void Skulls, Under Water Pirates,Taped Off TV, Sixteen Cats, and Bob Will Reign.
Absolutely love this.
