This second batch was from the Limited Edition sticker pack that was up for awhile. I went threw probably 5 packs or so a few years back and dont even have a full set anymore (I know Ozzy is on my grille and there were a few others). Jason says they werent happy with the quality of these but I thought they were top-notch, nice thick vinyl. I dont like the re-issue of print images (even as offsets) but would love to see some of these brought back.

How cool would a HELLO print be? Imagine screened 36x24! I'd pay $100 for that even if the run was 1000. Easy.

Sorry, nope. It would be great though if this thread showed Studio One the demand for something like that.

could we not collectivly "commision" a run of these of say 300 and sell some through the website for server funds?
that would be sweet and not much effort to produce as the artwork is already there.......

Here's a couple old silkscreen stickers. The first is a section from "Giant NYC" (1997), and the other similar to "Giant Attention" (1998). They're quite large, the first picture gives you an idea of the size next to a ruler. They're printed over top of pre-existing Oakland Tribune stickers. You can faintly see the Tribune building through the silkscreen. The last picture is from the back, where you can get an idea of the original source.

I recently bought these stickers. For me it's more of a catagory of "will I ever get to own the prints that some of these stickers are?" A few of them are so great.

Those large formatted stickers on the San Francisco Times stickers came through me. My buddy was working for a thrift store up in the bay area when he was donated about 500 of these. I took them to Shepard and he stenciled over them and made these. For him it was the best of both a sticker and a mini sized wheat paster. He could just slap them and it was a very sizable instant image.

Hate to be a blaggard but it seems this site is also good for archiving information about Shepard so I thought I'd post.

Thanks, JG.

One of my favorite older stickers is the "warning you are under surveillance" I have one on the front door of my house. A neighbor told me the other day that he had never fully read the text of the sticker until the other day and for the past five years thought I really had a surveillance system.

Slapped one on my parents house way back, it's still on their garage window. Slapped one on my first house, sold that, wonder what the buyers thought when they saw it. I have one left I guess it'll go up in my current place. :D
