true HOLY FUCKING SHIT moment this morning: over the holidays, my sticker guys were having a special on red octagons, so I designed and ordered 250 "Slop Sign" stickers — but while I was in China, someone stole them out of my mailbox. Bummer, I figured; they probably trashed them as worthless. anyway while walking to the subway I FOUND ONE OF MY STICKERS STUCK TO A MAILBOX! Whoever swiped my stickers is sticking them up around the neighborhood! This is the best thing that could have happened!

In the interest of open culture (and in recognition of the fact that I’m not going to have time to reprint and sell these myself), I’m committing this design to the commons: print ‘em if you want ‘em, share ‘em if you get ‘em! /cc @klardotsh @maniaclives @voltagex @occult @apaleslimghost

@joeycastillo hah that’s amazing!

Also, would you recommend your sticker printer? If they do “split backs”?

Show threadjoey castilloFeb 25
@fluidtoons Sticker Guy is fantastic! Always love their work and quality is top notch. They don’t do split backs, at least on the 1- or 2-color vinyl stickers that I buy, but they make up for it by being super cheap! You’ll get a ton of stickers for not that much money, and you probably won’t mind peeling the backs. https://stickerguy.com/cheapest-prices/

You know what would be also fun to print is a full-size white letter L on a red background that could be stuck over the T on real stop signs.

@Mikal ironically this could literally cause Teslas to plow into pedestrians. https://www.thedrive.com/news/teslas-can-be-tricked-into-stopping-too-early-by-bigger-stop-signs
Teslas Can Be Tricked Into Stopping Too Early by Bigger Stop Signs

Tesla owners are saying that the size of stop signs affect where their vehicles are stopping at an intersection.

I wonder if we stenciled the word "Tesla" under the word "stop" if they would just sit there.
