Can you guess what this is?
I’m surfing the net, and I land on this story at The Blaze about “Stickerman”. Now, I could be writing about more significant things like Jim Hoft does at his Gateway Pundit newly relocated site, or I could be catching up with the latest juicy political tidbits at The Other McCain, or reading the latest snark from Ace at the Headquarters, or educating myself with the latest on the Gunrunner scandal at Sipsey Street… you get the idea. But for now, Stickerman has my attention.
So… I’ll take a break. A coffee break. You can take one with me.
Now, I’m thinking maybe Stickerman has too much time on his hands? Or maybe he’s just doing what he loves to do, same as I do here everyday.
Anyway, I’m grabbing some of the pix and copy from The Blaze — and just to be polite and considerate, I’m encouraging you to head over to read all the other amazing information there. Really good stuff.
Barry Snyder is known in the art world as ‘Stickerman,’ to me he is a genius and an example of the American spirit. He has created something beautiful out of almost nothing, finding a way to feed his body and his artistic spirit at the same time.
For years I loathed the tiny stickers found on virtually every piece of produce sold in this country. These nasty and sneaky labels frequently found their way into my mouth and I would end up spitting out half of a sicker and renewing my one-man campaign to have them forever banned. However, public support never gelled and I abandoned the fight, but not before discovering Stickerman and the beautiful side of produce stickers.
Barry ‘Stickerman’ Snyder viewed those little stickers as the paint he would use to create beautiful works of art. The Colorado native has been creating sticker mosiacs for years, using nothing more than the produce stickers.
OK… back to work.
