Vector Maestros Stickers

4/23/2024

0 Comments

Free stickers. That's right. I said FREE STICKERS.

Everywhere I go in real life, I have free stickers to share. In my art classes, in conventions and conferences and even on the street. I personally love stickers and collect tons of them. Tons! 
I stick them on the cover of my devices, my iPad, my Surface Duo and Samsung S8 have my mark on them.

I print my work as a sticker because I want to be able to share my work with others and most people like stickers. Instead of sharing a business card that someone will throw in a pile once the convention is over, I share a sticker and sometimes they stick it on their laptop right away! 

Then next time they need an illustrator, there I am, in a sticker on their device! 


Should you make stickers?
of course! Your art should live beyond the drawing device, beyond the drawing app and onto the world. 
Produce your art in real life and let the world know where your skills are. Give them something to remember you by. 

My art goes from paper and pencil to drawing app to the real world, somewhere, from art installations to murals and to t-shirts and stickers. Let your art be free. 


Make something with your art. 
These are just a few of my designs that I turn into stickers. I have made over a thousand of them and I have many more thousands to go. If you want to learn how to make your art into a sticker, check out my livestreams on Behance and join us on Discord, ask me questions and let's make something cool!

Next time you see me, ask me for a free sticker!
