Although I’ve been living outside of Philadelphia for about 6 months, it’s only recently that I’ve begun to get a handle on the street art in Philadelphia. The overwhelming trend here is stickering, particularly by artists who draw logos instead of names. Given that my favorite art book of last year was probably a book about stickers, this is a coincidence that I’m loving. I wanted to do a post or two about some of Philadelphia’s best sticker artists, but realized that I am definitely not an expert on the local scene. Luckily, El Toro was happy to help me out in compiling the majority of this list. Also, a big thanks to Damon Landry aka damonabnormal for being such a dedicated photographer of these stickers and allowing Vandalog to rely heavily on his photos for this series. So here’s the first of two posts on some of Philadelphia’s best sticker artists (in no particular order)…
