Sticker art

Sticker art (also known as slaps in a graffiti context)^[1] is a form of street art in which an image or message is publicly displayed using stickers. These stickers may promote a political agenda, comment on a policy or issue, or comprise a subcategory of graffiti.^[2]

Sticker artists use various types of stickers, from eggshell stickers to free paper stickers, such as the United States Postal Service's Label 228 or name tags.^[3] Part of their popularity in street art comes from being a faster, and therefore safer, option in illegal graffiti.^[4]
