Time lapse of Graffiti Stickers placed in four different locations of New York City for 14 days. Each sticker was photographed everyday, from April 23, 2009 to May 7, 2009 to document the decomposition and decay of each.

SOME SERIOUS BAD NEWS
In case you have not being catching up to the news Mexico is currently under National Security Alert due to an outbreak of “Swine Flu.” It is the same flu that killed 20 million people in 1918. Right now 60 people have died in Mexico. All public sites, ALLL have being closed in Mexico and people are being told to wear face masks. Why the hell does this concern you? Well this “Swine Flu” has being found and has affected people in California, Texas and in New York. Experts say this can easily turn into an epidemic, I encourage you all to research on this. Its SWINE FLU, yes from pigs. So far I know that the precautions medical officials want us to take is to:
STAY YOUR ASSSS HOME IF YOU HAVE THE FLU its easy to catch this virus if you already have the human flu, the way it kills its that it turns into pneumonia and in just 48 hours its fatal.
PIGS SHOULD NOT BE TO BLAME if you eat pork and its cooked well there is no problem, and no pigs have being found infected by this- just people. But if you are physically around a pig, the pig is more vulnerable to the disease so be careful.
CLEAN YOUR HANDS wash wash wash…. think about all the places you put your hands and who put it there before, just be responsible
DONT COUGH OR SNEEZE IN PUBLIC you can infect and people can infect you, miss school and work if you have to, US National Security says to do so!
DONT KISS OR SHAKE HANDS yeah, enough said, dont kiss or shake hands- soap and water!
THE SYMPTOMS
Just like the human flu, swine flu causes respiratory problems, fever and fatigue, lack of appetite, coughing and sore throat. Some people have also reported vomiting and diarrhoea.
Potentially major problems can arise when human and animal flu viruses mix and lead to the development of new viruses which are resistant to immunity and can spread through the population, sparking a pandemic which is what is happening now. They say stay home if your sick and if you see that in 3-4 days you dont feel better go to the emergency room and PLEASE dont cough or sneeze in public. Or contact your doctor no matter what, if they ignore you contact another!!!
SOME GOOD NEWS:
Experts from around the world are working in close collaboration with the World Health Organisation to help determine what risk this situation poses to global public health and working on a vaccine and medicine to beat it.
CRAZY YES BUT PLEASE TELL OTHERS OF THIS
This could become the reason you die which will not only be sad but pathetic, take care of yourself!!!!!!
sticker idea: placing a sticker in 3 different location, photographs each 2-3 times a day and do this for 2 weeks- documenting the existence of the sticker

——————-STICKER SKETCHES———————
1. PASTE STICKERS ON A WALL OVER TIME AND DOCUMENT THEIR EXISTENCE: WHICH PEEL OFF, HOW LONG THEY LAST, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLDEST AND YOUNGEST STICKER TO GET ON WALL…(EVAN’S IDEA)
2. PASTE STICKERS OF A WALL, COVERING WALL AND DO SOME GRAFFITI ON IT…
3. MAKE STICKERS THAT MATCH EACH SURFACE THAT PRETEND TO BE SECURITY STICKERS: INSTEAD OF READING “stop graffiti” IT’D BE SOMETHING LIKE START GRAFFITI…
Graffiti takes time to perfect, but something just as illegal and faster is stickers. Grabbing stickers, graffing those and slapping them on a lamp post… The cons of these are that they can also be removed and way easier than the spray paint. This project is an exploration of stickers out there that are best suited for graffiti artist. That means sticker that last longer up on a lamp post, are not easy to peel off and can resist the more weather changes while up in a street.
First lets start of with the different types of stickers, these are the materials stickers are made from:
- Paper: most stickers are made of paper, these are usually glossy and thin… if you buy sticker books with butterflies and bees on them; those are all made of paper.
- Litho: the second most common material for stickers and labels, its is non-glossy and easy to write one… postal labels and sticky price tags are made of litho.
- Plastic: the same as vinyl, this material makes stickers more flexible and more durable and resistant… these are often found in clear and are sold as bumper stickers and for windows.
- Foil: this is the sticker with the shinny surface, the most flexible material Labels that utilizes that foil stock usually have shiny surfaces, yet these labels are also flexible enough to be used on curved surfaces.
- Cardboard: a thick, long lasting material, not very flexible and thick stickers often used on scrapbooks.
Now for the testing. Tricky thing about stickers is they are long lasting only on certain surfaces. For testing each sticker material was tested on the most commonly found surfaces of the streets:
- Cement: if on the streets you post on walls, staircases, buildings…
- Steel/Metal: as in lamp post, street polls, subway stations…
- Wood: like doors, coverings for construction sites, benches…
- Glass: post on windows, doors for banks and fancy stores, mirrors…
- Plexi Glass: or plastic, for light coverings, trash cans…
These are all store-bought stickers each made of the materials mentioned above:
I cut each in half for the testing:
In conclusion:
- Cement:
paper and its adhesive will not stick
litho stickers are harder to peel off
plastic its adhesive will not stick
foil, dont use foil
cardboard, will not last 5 minutes up
- Steel/Metal:
paper breaks off quickly
litho hard to get off but consider with weather, it will just destroy
plastic easy and clean peel off but will not destroy, weather resistant
foil, dont use foil
cardboard sticks well and does not peel off easily but consider with weather, it will just destroy
- Wood:
paper does not peel off easily, best use here
litho hard to peel of but gets destroyed
plastic, dont use plastic
foil, dont use foil
cardboard, too thick for this material… the thinner the better with wood
- Glass:
paper peels off hard and leaves a mess
litho peels off hard and leaves a mess
plastic peels off easy and clean
foil peels off easy and clean
cardboard peels off hard and leaves a smaller mess than paper
- Plexi Glass:
same as glass
this is my tape sculpture. i JUST finished it, its suppose to be a boy- kidnapped boy, the hand cuffs are missing. i dont think its very successful because tape is not very strong and i used my baby luis whose 10 and he was very tired of being mummified… so i tried to make it strong but sometimes it sinks. 
well here it is:
sorry cuz its so blurry, but plz say this was someone from this class!!!
btw remember this crappy thing i did, well a new poser was but over it!!!
and another thing, just the reason why i love will ferrel…
