Here is an older, so-so sticker that I put up in NY and someone buffed by simply spraying the bottom part of the phone kiosk silver!

A solid plan, but something kinda funny happened: the absorbent sticker paper contrasted nicely with the non-absorbent ink I printed with, so the image didn’t really get buffed, it just got a shiny new monotoned colour scheme!

Also funny: the payphone kiosk will certainly outlast the sticker, and when it goes, as all stickers will, there will be a much longer-lasting little square of contrasting silver tones remaining- preserving in hard-wearing enamel paint the evidence of my stickers presence, and by extension, my presence.

Kinda judoesque. My enemies energy turned against them and used to further my own goals.

Also kinda Goldsworthyesque. Reminds me of my favorite scene from Rivers and Tides: We see Andy having a eccentric “Andy Moment”, lying in a rural street, peaceful, seemingly enjoying the summer rain on his face. Then he stands up, and you realize that he’s also been using the rain to print a temporary silhouette of himself onto the street. A basic self-portrait that will begin to fade the moment he stops making it. Magic.
