I recently acquired some pretty big sheets of peel-n-stick sticker paper from work. (Thanks Stephen) I was throwing a couple ideas around like printing on the entire sticker as just one print but finally decided to print multiples of one design on a full sheet. I haven’t done the math just yet (it is too late in the evening) but I can fit a decent amount of smaller stickers on these huge sheets. I wanted to get them printed in time for the Holiday Art Sale at the Artsgarden on Dec. 11.

I am usually working with found objects, tools, etc. and not sitting behind the computer illustrating designs and such. Although I am usually happy with the end result, the process almost feels like homework sometimes. Maybe that’s because I have to sit still and be painfully tedious.

The design I came up with was based on a sketch I drew up for my forearm tattoo. Nick McNulty ended up adapting it and it looks even better on my arm with his changes. His design is more organic while mine is very static and symmetrical. I tweaked the levels on PS and added some text. I tried to have it a little rough around the edges so it would look cohesive with the rest of my art.

I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out. Hopefully they can get printed soon. We shall see. I will let you know when the final product is available.
