AZ, Phoenix: April 2, 2010 - Sticker Phiends III





STICKER PHIENDS 2010


Phoenix, Arizona (April 2010) - Street/Gallery artist "Mad One" will team up this year with Studio 8 to host the first ever "Sticker Phiends", a showcase of local and international sticker artists for a third year in a row. The show will feature stickers and other forms of street/gallery art. This year there will be interactive activities (Pay phone set-ups),a piñata full of goods, street/graffiti art movie screening(Day in the Lyfe), plenty of free giveaways, goodies like energy drinks, clothes, and limited edition screen prints/stickers produced by showcasing artists and much more!…. Make sure you have your ID if you would like some brew provided by our sponsor PBR.

There have been several Graffiti/Urban art themed shows throughout the valley the last few years. This is one of a kind for sure; its name explains itself "Sticker Phiends" an array of street/gallery artists throughout the world. Mad One, a local Arizona based street/gallery artist, had the opportunity to lock down many local and international artists for the show for two years in a row, and this years expectations are growing by the day. "We have artists ranging from New York to California, Israel, U.K. and beyond". "Sticker Phiends" is about the sticker/urban art movement and bringing awareness of stickers and how they have gone from the streets to modern forms of art being displayed in today’s galleries and museums. Mad One, a local street art advocate, has taken on the duty of creating this one of a kind show.

Stickers and sticker art isn’t just for skateboarders and bands/DJ’s anymore, it has become a new way of expressing yourself and getting your name and or images out to the public eyes. Letting the general public analyze your images and getting up where ever you can, you can find stickers on the back of street signs, electric boxes, and magazine kiosks. Most importantly putting them up where no one has before. Some artists just collect stickers, some represent just themselves. But either way you look at it stickers have been accepted and will be displayed as a new wave art form. Some of the artists on the bill will be coming into Phoenix for the show. I could mention a few names, but you will have to attend or stay tuned to find out who’s who and from where. Some of the artists will be in attendance as well featured art by artists: Disposable Hero, Griffin One, Dumper Foo, Dr.Nuse 89’,Blurble, Hmph, Mad One, BigFoot1, 2Rabbits, Obey, Sike',Flying Fortress,Robots Will Kill and many many others. Come support the movement and be apart of local history and national attention!
