When I arrived in New York, although I already knew how big street art was, it still amazed me and made me happy to see it in person.

As I looked at all the art I noticed the mass amount of stickers covering the posts and traffic lights all over the city, and I had not really seen it documented properly before, so I started. Walking the city for hours capturing the stickers that a lot of people in one of America’s biggest city’s fail to notice.

A lot of these stickers are very well designed graphically, and I try to capture them in a way that the background compliments this. Some are just plain funny. Sometimes they can be in awkward places so to document them I took a close up. I find it interesting to spot these stickers all over the city and see the length some artists go to have themselves recognized.

I have much respect for all the artists involved and it’s a pleasure to document it. I hope my photographs can make these pieces of art last longer than they might normally.
