STICKERS

byrd Woden

Its about Art making. It’s about the maker. I prefer hand made stickers (not that I dislike vinyl stickers).

But a well made sticker, surrendered to the world by one, found by another is a choice thing. The effort of production and distribution being met by the effort of discovery.

So to my mind there is a difficulty in settling on a single sticker and reproducing it ad nausea for years. Finding a balance between leaving enough to signify a brand, and being able/bothered to produce the numbers. Being in a sense stuck with this image while pursuing others relentlessly.

FlyingFortress achieves this in broad nuanced strokes. Framing his ‘brand’ as an army of bears, leaves room to vary production, share exploration, and include artistic growth.
Shepard "Obey" Fairey has moved in this direction, but began by the drear process of ‘branding’ an aesthetic by repetition.

Locally Shida was doing a great job of balancing repetition of style and variance of content round Brisbane, back when i was paying closer attention to that scene.
And as for noise right close locally, Sydney syder Mini Graff has volume and variation on her side. While the Sly Crue seem busy with pure text and a very workman like approach.
