This toothy rose #sticker was found in the #Irvington neighborhood of #PortlandOR on May 28th, 2019. Love the complimentary colors against the mailbox blue. Artist(s) of both the #RoseTooth and sun sticker unknown. #StreetArt #StickerArt #Stickers #Portland
Some stickers affixed to the side of a USPS mailbox. The larger sticker is a combination of a rose and a tooth, with the upper part being a fully blossomed rose and the lower part being the roots of a tooth. The exterior of the tooth is a light blue, and the insides of the blossomed rose petals are a darker blue, but it is still lighter than the dark blue used for USPS mailboxes. This color scheme has 3 complimentary blue colors that scale from light to dark from the perspective of the the lightest blue in the foreground, and the darkest being the background. Above it is a small yellow sun sticker. It is comprised of dark lines against a yellow background. The dark lines are a ring of triangles pointing out to represent the sun’s rays, and in the center is a dark crescent along the lower half. This crescent gives it a slight three dimensional perspective to represent its spherical nature. Artist(s) of both stickers unknown. Found in the Irvington neighborhood of Portland, Oregon on May 28th, 2019.

“Wipe your feet! Are you giving ghosts a free ride?” This sign and #GhostBrush are located by the entrance to the #LoneFirCemetery the #Buckman neighborhood of #PortlandOR (a really cool place, btw). Also a www.instagram.com/noonesadhere/ #sticker #StreetArt #Ghosts #Stickers
Sign outside of the Lone Fir Cemetery in Portland, OR. The sign reads: ————— WIPE YOUR FEET! Are you giving ghosts a free ride? When you walk over their graves, the ghosts who reside there can cling to your shoes, then come off later and haunt where they are unwanted. Help protect this fragile boundary between the land of the living and the spirits of the dead - don't accidentally introduce invasive ghosts. PLEASE USE GHOST BRUSH BEFORE LEAVING THE CEMETERY Thank you, City of Portland Bureau oi supernatural Containment ————— Artist unknown. Photo take on May 2nd, 2025 in the Buckman neighborhood of Portland, OR The Ghost Brush sign in the other photo is attached to a pole with a shoe brush at the bottom to facilitate the removal of spirits who may have clung to your shoes during your visit to the cemetery.

Seen lots #stickers of this cool pup in various artistic party/dunce hats around the #Kerns neighborhood of #PortlandOR recently. They have various interior/fill designs. Artist unknown, a reverse image was no help. #StreetArt #StickerArt #sticker #DogsInPartyHats #DogsInDunceHats #StarryNight #Dogs
Sticker affixed to a natural gas meter. Sticker is on a cartoonish dog face that is yellow with a conical hat, a smiley face, and it’s tongue sticking out off to it’s left side of it’s face. The hat is reminiscent of Van Gough’s Starry Night, with a big swirl in the sky, only it is above a yellow field (which is the dog’s face), and green rolling hills in the background. The colors are filled in with large brushstrokes similar to Starry Night. Artist unknown. Found in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland, OR on May 1st, 2025. Two small stickers affixed to a crosswalk button housing. They are two variations of the same dog in a party hat featured in the first photo. Both feature the same basic design, yellow faced dog with a smiley face, it’s tongue sticking out on left side of face, and a green conical party hat. Each sticker has a slightly different design on the color fill. The one on the left looks like it was filled in with color magic markers. On the one of the left, the face seems to be made of a yellow lemon, and it’s hat is a green pile of something that looks kind of like yarn or a lumpy extruded material such as foam insulation. Artist unknown. Found in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland, OR on May 1st, 2025. A zoomed in shot of the previous photo of the two dogs in party/dunce hat stickers. See previous photo’s alt text for a more detailed description.

“Thomas Jr:)”, “Mustachio”, “Balloons”, and an urban sproinger. There’s a handful of these #PlankArt pieces hung on in various places along SE #Ankeny in the #Laurelhurst neighborhood of #PortlandOR, pretty sure there’s more out there too. Artist(s) unknown. #StreetArt #Portland #Mustachio #Sproing
Small plant of wood affixed to a telephone pole. On the light blue colored plank is a person/creature. At the bottom it says “Thomas Jr.” with period on Jr. being comprised of one of the two dots of a smiley face :). They are comprised of the tips of paint brushes for legs, a triangular red piece of felt for a dress/shirt, corn cob holders stick into the wood and protruding out at an angle with the tips painted blank for arms, and a clump of matted hair for a hair with googly eyes and a red line for it’s face. The hair is long and curled over their face, partially obscuring it. Given the amount of hair and no actual head visible, they could be some kind of Bigfoot like creature, or a Cousin It (a la Addam’s Family). Found on SE Ankeny st in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Portland, OR on April 26th, 2025. Artist unknown. A plank of wood affixed to a telephone pole that looks like a face. At the bottom of the plank is a faintly written “Mustachio”. The face is comprised of a small carabiner being held in place with some screws, a frowning pink line for a mouth, a faded thick dark line for an mustache, a corn cob holder stuck in the board and pointed at a downward angle for a nose, the right eye is made from a large metal washer, several screws, and a metal nut for an eye, the left eye was likely the same but is now missing completely and only a faint circle and screw hole remains, dark downturned eyebrows expressing anger, and finally attached to the top if a long and narrow dark brown piece of wood that makes a hat or hair. It is almost entirely hidden by tree branches and leaves, and mostly faded. Found on SE Ankeny st in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Portland, OR on April 26th, 2025. Artist unknown. A small plank of wood affixed to a telephone pole with a small wood figure attached to it. The plank is pained with black and white rays radiating out from the center. At the bottom is says “Balloons”. In the center is a vintage toy called a Bill Ding stacking clown, which is a wooden toy first produced in the 1930s. The clowns have various notches and points of various sizes that allow you to stack up a bunch of them in various human pyramid like structures. This Bill Ding is a red one. Found on SE Ankeny st in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Portland, OR on April 26th, 2025. Artist unknown. A small plank of wood affixed to the telephone pole. It is painted green with some gold/yellow paint dripping down from the top to the bottom. In the center is a spring style door stopper, the kind that go “SPROING!” if you flick it with your finger. Found on SE Ankeny st in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Portland, OR on April 26th, 2025. Artist unknown.

Happy #Easter, having our traditional #EasterHamms with my friends. We’ve been doing this almost two decades now. #VeganEaster #Hamms #HammsBeer
Picture of a hand holding a can of Hamms beer. We enjoy these on Easter as a play on words about traditional Easter ham, and an alternative tradition for us vegans.

The #FaceEatingLoepards are already starting to feed and it’s only been a few (long) months. #Sticker / sentiment is as prescient as ever, those leopards are about to feast. Found today in #Kerns #PortlandOR. #StreetArt #StickerArt #IYKYK #Stickers #LeopardsAteMyFace #LeopardsEatingPeoplesFacesParty
Sticker found in a bus stop today (April 19th, 2025) in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland, OR. Sticker says “And those same leopards will eat your face”. This is a reference to a tweet during the administration of the 45th US president, which was mocking regretful voters who were sad the guy they voted for did the exact (awful) things he said he would, that they dismissed as hyperbole during the election. “‘I never thought the leopards would eat my face’ sobs women who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party”. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/leopards-eating-peoples-faces-party

#WashYourHands with… whatever this creature is… 🤷‍♂️ . Artist Unknown. Tiny bit of a #Skam #Sticker in there too. Bonus grout pun in the second photo. #BathroomGraffiti found at the #Rose&Thistle public house in #PortlandOR on April 27th, 2019. #BathroomArt #StickerArt #Stickers #BadPuns #DadPuns
Sticker art affixed on the “Wash Your Hands” sign in a dive bar bathroom. The main sticker is hand drawn in black marker on a mailing label. It looks like a naked women (or possibly a mermaid, the lower torso and below are obscured), laying on their side with their breasts exposed. However, instead of a human head, it has and entire small cartoonish fish for a head instead. The fish is perhaps a goldfish or beta. The arm (left) they are laying on, extends out reaching across their body towards their lower torso, the hand is disproportionately large compared to the rest of it’s body and the fingers are perhaps slightly pointed. Above the body is a large arrow pointing towards the fish head, purpose is unclear. Not sure if intentional by the artist/person who stuck it, but it sort of appears like it is laying under the water streams from the sinks that are part of the hand washing sign. To left of this sticker is the remains of a Skam (artist) sticker that was a play on US currency bills. See a previous post of mine for an example. Fish head lady artist unknown. Found at the Rose & Thistle Public House dive bar in Portland, OR on April 27th, 2019 Black text written with a marker in a horizontal strip of grout at The Rose & Thistle Public House bathroom. It reads “No remorse, no regrout”. Found on April 27th, 2019

Cute li’l doggo in a Halloween mask #sticker that I found today in the #Kerns neighborhood of #PortlandOR. Artist appears to be www.instagram.com/slick.zero/ #StreetArt #StickerArt #Stickers #Portland #slick.zero #slickdotzero #HalloweenDoggo
Sticker affixed to the shade of a garden light that is in an ivy covered planter. The sticker features the face of a cartoon-ish dog that has a white face with black ears. It is wearing a black pointed, but bent/folded over witch’s/wizard’s hat with a star on it, and a red devil mask. The mask has small horns sticking out from the mask, pointed forward, and above the eyes. The mask seems to be the signature trademark of the artist, as it and people posed with horns in the same way are featured on what little other art that I can see from their Instagram without a login. The name of the artist is slick.zero or slickdotzero (it’s stylized both ways on their IG account): https://www.instagram.com/slick.zero/ . The sticker was found in the Kerns neighborhood in Portland, OR on April 14th, 2025.

Hey look, a big ass shoe. Also, a cool mural in the background. No idea what’s up with the shoe but some people walking by said it’s been there a few days. #Mural is on the side of the Musicians Union Local 99 building in #PortlandOR afm99.org #BigAssShoe #afm99 #afm #Murals #StreetArt #shoes #Kerns
A massive prop shoe laying on the sidewalk. It’s several feet in length and probably about a foot wide and a few feet tall. It looks sort of like sports cleat style shoes, which makes me think it’s from some school’s mascot. The lower part is mostly black, with a silver x on the side. The upper half is bright yellow. Someone else, presumably, tagged some graffiti with a red pen on the yellow. Very curious. Found next to the Musicians Union Local 99 in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland, OR. The Musicians Union Local 99 “is an organization of over 500 musicians in Oregon and SW Washington. We are affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians, which comprises over 60,000 musicians in the United States and Canada.” Per their website: https://afm99.org/about-the-local-afm/ A mural on the side of the Musician’s Union Local 99 building in Portland, OR. The mutual depicts a collection of images of multicultural musicians from different regions of the world, playing various instruments unique to their locales and cultures. Unsure if this is the work of a single artist or multiple people each doing their own section. Photographed on April 10th, 2025

Can’t tell from the photo if this was giant #sticker or a really clean #pasteup, either way it’s really awesome. The “Long Gone Rek” sticker above is is great too. Both artists unknown. Photo from March 11th, 2019, in #Buckman neighborhood of #PortlandOR #StreetArt #StickerArt #stickers #Portland
Photo of some stickers and/or wheat paste paste ups on the side of a utility box. The main sticker/paste up is an anthropomorphic chicken like creature, that has human legs with pants and boots on, a curly orange tail, a yellow egg-shaped body, an orange beak, and a yellow spiked Mohawk. It has sunglasses on and is wearing a headband with red, white, blue stars on it. In it’s right hand, it is holding and electric guitar, in it’s left hand is raised in the “Rock On”/devil horns gesture. Above is is a small sticker with a face wearing a mask like the one Anthony Hopkins wears in Silence of the Lambs (designed for prisoners to prevent them from biting people). It has 3 black spikes of hair on an otherwise bald head. In its hand, it is holding a bloody heath, and its face has some blood on it. Around it, it says “Long”, “Gone” and “Rek”. Both artist are unknown. Photo taken on March 11th, 2019 in the Buckman neighborhood of Portland, OR.

I found this #gasmask #sticker on February 10th, 2019, in the #Buckman neighborhood of #PortlandOR. Unsure on the artist, reverse image search didn’t turn up anything. Love the design and color choice. #StreetArt #StickerArt #Stickers #Portland
A pink background sticker with black lines affixed to the pole of a street sign. It depicts the head and neckline of someone wearing a vintage style gas mask and space/hazmat suit. At the bottom of the hose is the number “13” written on the tube. They are wearing an aviator style helmet/skullcap that also says “13” on it. What you can see of their face behind the mask (eyes and brow line) has many curved parallel lines, giving them an almost mummified/inhuman like appearance. There are tubes connecting from the side of the mask down into the chest region on the suit they are wearing. Artist unknown. Found in the Buckman neighborhood of Portland, OR on February 10th, 2019.

Found these amazing #stickers on January 31st, 2019, in the #Kerns neighborhood of #PortlandOR. Tried searching for top artist and didn’t find much. Really excellent design! #DesignerRepublic vibes. Lower sticker: Make More Art: www.instagram.com/mostmotivate... #StreeArt #StickerArt #Portland #2MA
Stickers on back of a street sign. The upper sticker is a highly stylized image of a space suit helmet on the ground in the lower left corner, visor is closed and facing to the right. In the visor’s reflection is a rocket taking off, its trajectory slightly curved with the surface of the visors. Smoke and fire are erupting from the bottom of the rocket, and align with the shape of the lower edge of the visor. In the background, the helmet appears to be laying on an alien planet with curving topped mountains, there is a large planet or sun in the sky, as well as some distant stars. Above the drawing it says “Godspeed” large dark font. Overlaid on the lower side of this text is the word “Godspeed” again, now in red Japanese characters. Artist unknown, possibly someone named Godspeed. Second sticker is from artist Make More Art, depicts several characters gathered together, looking towards the perspective of the viewer. In the back left is a whale with it’s tale to the left and it’s head towards the center. It has human like features, such as m eyes, hands for flippers, a large nose, mouth, and short styled hair. It’s eyes are kind of baggy, and it has something in its mouth, possible a cigarette. To its right is another whale, tale to right face towards center. It has a goatee and long beard dangling below it. It has 3 human like eyes. Below the whale is a religious figure, like a priest in an ornate headdress and outfit, with sunken black eyes. In front of the priest is an army soldier yelling off to the right. To its left is the Planter’s peanut Mr. Peanut character, on the brim of his hat it says “Mr. 2MA”. He is leaning on a big wall of text that says “2MA”. To his left is boy with devil like horns, and gigantic upper teeth, so big you cannot see his lower jaw or head, only his neck can be seen below his teeth line. To his is Alice from Alice in Wonderland, drawn like the classic Disney animated version. She is wearing Dia De Los Muerto makeup.

Came across this #Sticker from 😸 @acabcats.bsky.social 😻 a few days ago in the #Buckman neighborhood of #PortlandOR. #AllCatsAreBeautiful #StreetArt #StickerArt #Stickers #Portland
Sticker on the lid to an in-wall fire department water hookup on the side of a building from @acabcats.bsky.social that depicts a couple of cats laying on a cat bed and on each other. Below them it says “All Cats Are Beautiful”, which is a play on the ACAB acronym that is usually associated with “All Cops Are Bastards”.

A thread of #SoccerScarves from my collection, mostly #TimberFC related, but not entirely. This first set is from an old fan made merch group in the #TimbersArmy called the #CascadiaEntertainmentSystem. #Nintendo #SuperMarioBros #Zelda #MarioKart #rctid #PortlandTimbers #FootballScarves #MLS
3 soccer scarves made by the Portland Timbers fan group called the Cascadia Entertainment System. This group cranked out a lot of Nintendo x Timbers themed merchandise in the mid 2010s, though it is long since defunct. From top to bottom: the first scarce is black with Legend of Zelda Tri-Forces on each edge, on the left is 8-bit Link from Zelda 1, on the right is 8-bit Zelda, in the middle is 3 hearts (depicting the health system in the game; the second scarf looks like the side view of a Super Mario Bros 3 like level, on the upper left where the score would normally be it says “Rose City” and in place of the timer it says “1975” (a reference to when the club was first started), on the upper right is says “Kings of Cascadia”, in the main section is is a series of Mario platforms, pits with water and Big Bertha fish trying to catch Mario, Mario has just punched an item box and instead of normal Mario item, a double sided axe has popped out; the last scarf looks like the overworld map on Super Mario Bros 3, a line connecting several boxes representing levels that end at a castle, only in this case the levels have the initials of teams that Timbers had to go through in the 2015 playoffs (Sporting KC, Vancouver Whitecaps, FC Dallas), the castle at the end says the initials for Columbus (which was the team the Timbers beat in MLS Cup), at the far end of the level path is Providence Park (home of the Timbers) with the words “2015 Champs” and a Mario Super Star on it, beyond the Columbus castle is a trophy with a Mario Super Star on it representing the MLS Cup, on the right side is a winner podium that looks like what you see after a completing a cup in Super Mario Kart with an angry Donkey Kong wearing a D for Dallas shirt on 3rd step, an angry Princess Peach wearing a yellow dress that says “CCSC” for Columbus Crew SC” on the 2nd place step, and Mario (or Luigi?) wearing a Timbers jersey and green hat and holding a bottle of champagne standing on the first place step. Back side of scarves in previous picture, from top to bottom: the top (Zelda themed) scarf says “I can’t help falling in love with you”, which is a reference to the Elvis song that the Timbers Army sings at the 85th minute of games; the middle scarf says “Gut The Fish” and has a picture of Mario in a frog suit chasing after a Cheep Chomp fish, this is a reference to the “Gut the fish” phrase used when talking about beating the Timbers biggest rivals, the Seattle Sounders (aka the Flounders, as they are called among some Timbers fans); the bottom scarf looks like the animation that plays on the title screen for Super Mario Kart with a side view of two karts racing among a Mario level background, in the cart that’s behind and on the left is a yellow Wario (depicting Columbus), on the right in the lead is a green shirted Mario (depicting the Timbers), between them it says “New Record!! 00’27”00” (representing the goal the Timbers scored in the MLS Cup final in the opening 27 seconds), and in large text in the center it says “Onward, Rose City”
