Stickers

Built in

If you travel far enough, you will find places that mark the boundary between a trip and an adventure, and they bear the mark of every badass who was there before you.

Closer to home, the bathroom of your local watering hole hints at the sort of crowd who drinks there. You find pro-Palestine stickers at Cafe Engels, punk stickers at Clash, communist stickers at Kuckucksei, and cryptocurrency stickers at Hops & Barley.

"Stickers on a Berlin pub table"

I love how this sort of guerrilla art snaps me out of autopilot, and I wanted to make my own for a while.

Recently, a friend got me into watercolour painting, and we were talking about leaving our watercolours in random places for strangers to take home. Then I made this little doodle that I loved too much to let go. Instead, I put him on a small batch of stickers.

"Nicht schlecht" sticker

If you find yourself in one of my favourite bars, look out for one of those stickers.
