This sticker set was designed by Portland local Sean Randall. You can find more of his art and skate videos at
Here is a poem written by Sean to accompany this set:
“Hello, I Love you.
Outside the window another lost soul pipes on a penny-whistle in the freezing rain. Keep searching friend, Zion’s chock full of birds. Do you need a break? Do you want me to fix you a Poison Ivy sandwich? You never know how long this love will last. There goes the sweet locomotive now ! Right on schedule. Collect enough smiles and you’ll ride for free !”

This sticker set was designed by local illustrator and skateboard legend Gunnar Johnson. With influences from animated TV shows, skateboard culture, and street art, he creates grotesque characters with a gritty sense of humor. The exaggerated wrinkles, sagging flesh, and exposed bone make his characters unsettling, but at the same time hard to look away from. For more art from Gunnar, check him out over at and snag these stickers and more over at

The next deadline for art submissions is October 1st. We are looking for 4-6 cohesive pieces from each artist. Shoot us a DM if you’re interested in being a part of the next release!

Here’s a little about and her gnarly stickers: “Hi my name is Olivia and I am currently working as an art teacher and I absolutely love it. I studied art therapy and psychology at school and I started my art page about two years ago after deciding I wanted to share my angry/ therapeutic doodles with the world or a small potion of it. :) I also am a huge fan of Halloween and all creepy things.”

A little bit from artist about herself and her set of wicked cute witches: “Hi! I'm an art student at Maine College of Art, and while I'm still undecided on what I want to major in, I really love to illustrate and work with pen and ink. I personally adore Autumn and Halloween and I was very excited to work on a set of illustrations for these stickers!” @ Mocean
