Stickerbomb - Artists and Makers Christmas Gifts Part 1

The graffiti movement is most interesting because it never sits still, with artists and writers on a constant quest to find a new medium to spread their message. And the fastest rising movement of the last few years has been one using stickers.

This is mass-produced graffiti, produced in open editions or in limited, hand-finished sets, and designed for rapid spread around the streets. In the wild, you'll find stickers equally shared between street furniture and nightclubs, mixed up with commercially-produced advertising.

Alongside the taggers and graffiti-style writers in Stickerbomb, there are some stunning contemporary artists.

Iloobia draws rough, primal creatures on the backs of old envelopes and on brown paper. Illustrations by Ores have a similar nightmarish quality.

Otek's illustrations have a loose, sketchy feel like a psychedelic Maurice Sendak. Meanhwhile, Slave produce neat, graphic illustrations and Flavien 'Mambo' Demarigny fills a page with warped corporate logos.

Stickerbomb is not only a record of some of the most interesting work around, but – with over 250 peelable stickers – another way of spreading the message. Expect to see the stickers here on schoolbooks and street-corners, laptops and lamposts.
