Sticker For Walls Views
We recently showed you images of Shepard Fairey down in Miami installing his mural inside this yeara’s Wynwood Walls cafe (covered). Well, more images have just surfaced from the Wynwood Walls project, courtesy of legendary street photographer Martha Cooper. Apparently, right next to Sheparda’s wall will be one organized by “Stickers: Stuck-Up Piece of Crap” authors DB Burkeman and Monica LoCascio. The “Sticker Wall,a” which officially launches during Art Basel Miami 2010, will be a place where artists and the general public can celebrate sticker culture by contributing their own stickers throughout the year. And it seems that some sticker fans have decided not to wait for the launch and have already christened the wall.
For older children, you may want to try products from Storybook Lane, which offers a variety of quite realistic images in sticker art. The Play Ball line allows the child to use stickers of various kinds of sports balls to add some bounce to the room, including a border for the top of the walls, adding an element of cohesion.
Any 10-year-old going through the usual I want a pony stage would be happy to create her own stable with these stickers. Even if you have no artistic ability, you can paint the bottom portion of the wall green, and the rest blue, to give the feeling of an outdoor scene. The animal stickers will do the rest. Don't forget to get a couple of birds for the tops of the walls while you're at it.
