Holy shit I was thinking of doing a thread like this so I’ve been saving them up!!

Billy bat graffiti rife in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. There’s at least 7-8 billy bats up on Venice. This strip of road is gentrifying pretty hard but I’ve seen graffiti and stickers increasing as well… perhaps in response?? This person is into the bats

From the LA River bike path

There is a rideshare pickup location at LAX which is covered in stickers. People from all around the world are leaving their stickers here. I left one of my friend’s stickers and one of my own

Someone has been putting this dull nerd ass sticker up in extremely boring residential neighborhoods on the west side. I have seen multiple. It’s such a rock bottom dumb use of some pretty large and expensive stickers that I kind of love it. I would hate to meet whoever put this up though

Found this car in Culver City… now THIS person I wanna meet


Found this one in Vancouver when I was there a couple weeks ago

This pole in Culver has been getting more and more anti-car stickers over time. The secret car hater hangout

The center of the LA sticker blast zone is the Arts District in downtown LA. It’s so covered in stickers it’s kind of hard to find any good enough that stick out. The next time I’m there I’ll keep my eyes peeled for good ones but most of them are just black and white tag names unfortunately.

i dont have a picture of it but in dublin i lived next to a home for retired priests, and on a wall outside their house someone had written WEED WEED WEED and next to it was a message saying “hash / weed is for losers !” in a different, much smaller and neater hand. i still think of that… one last effort at reaching the youth
