while working on this project I AM and I were thinking ourselves rather clever and original, and imagined we were doing something for the first time!

As is so often the case, it turned out that we were not the first at the party. The knowledgeable and talented Luna Park relieved us of that notion!

Regardless, I loved this stick as soon as I saw it; sneaky. We had decided to ape the colours and culture of gate stickers in order to allow our art to get through customs unmolested, (Tags get stopped and deported, graff stickers are removed from the airport, but, for some reason, gate stickers are often allowed to ride first class, why?) Spazmat takes this one step further by completely copying the whole sticker, and just making a little addition. What I didn’t consider when I first saw it, but is really interesting in light of I AM’s encounter with Gates ‘R’ Us, is how this method keeps the phone numbers the same! I wonder if Spazmat knew that he was making a peace treaty with NYC gates by doing so!
