Stickers are back! The Stickers Stuck-Up Tour opens will get a summer preview tonight at the Big Screen Plaza, near the Eventi Hotel on the corner of 6th Avenue and 29th Street—though Streaming Museum (who developed the show) notes that the opening party won't take place until September. The plan is to have it tour throughout "the museum’s international network of screens in public spaces." more ›

This just in: the FML station stop lives on! A reader sent us this photo today taken yesterday at the 14th Street subway entrance (NW side). When the MTA was first alerted to the fact that their subway signage was mirroring an internet meme, they said they would remedy the situation with new "L" stickers, which they did... but it appears they neglected to remove some of the old ones. Either that, or one lone man is lurking around out there with a backpack full of "L" stickers and a dream. more ›

Stained glass, mosaics, tiled penguins... there's a lot going on underground (in fact, here's an entire guide to all the subway art you can find throughout the system). But this piece, well, wins. What a simple yet accurate reflection on the current state of city agencies and their budget woes. Sure, it's a minimalist approach, but it says so much. Just look at the edges—dirty and peeling, staring back at straphangers, as if mocking them for paying $89/month for this. For giant, fake, peeling tiles. more ›

A tipster sent us this photo of a car on Lorimer Street in Greenpoint slathered with "a dozen Deptartment of Sanitation notices." These are the stickers that inform the world that you are an inconsiderate jerk whose parked car stopped street sweepers from "properly" cleaning the street. As you can see, it's fitting that this snapshot of hipster Brooklyn comes with an ironic twist, as the vehicle in question is itself an official vehicle used by the Department of Sanitation. The tipster adds that "there is an understanding that you can kind of park the city vehicles anywhere so long as it's not in front of a fire hydrant or something." Looks like somebody didn't get the memo. more ›

Feeling cheated because you didn't get your "I Voted" sticker? We called up the Board of Elections to check in on this very important situation, and they told us they don't think New York City has ever handed out the little badges of civic duty. When's the last time you received one? Vote "yes" to bring them back in four years, but for now, you can make your own -- one Flickr user has provided a Hi-Res photo of her sticker, just print it out and tape it on! Over in DC, each jurisdiction has a different design! more ›

Someone is telling SoHo what they really think! Razor Apple reports on the "Fuck SoHo" stickers that have been popping up with more frequency in the neighborhood. They report: "Spelled out with misappropriated streetwear logos, these 'Fuck SoHo' stickers caught our eye recently, in part because we sometimes think the same thing. But who hates SoHo enough to print up stickers?" All signs point towards the Secret Society (especially this sign!), "the Queens sneaker shop located six miles from SoHo."

Tao Lin's promotional spam-mongering tactics have not made Gawker a fan of the author; last year the website addressed Lin, saying, "I know you're reading this. I just want you to know that because of your ill-conceived self-marketing strategy, you have 100% guaranteed that I will never read your damned book. You're maybe perhaps the single most irritating person we've ever had to deal with." They added that his stunts are "retarded" and "deceptive." more ›

Have you noticed any Britney Spears stickers on the subway or sidewalk recently? The simple black & white design is littering the city, and it's not part of Brit's plan to gain some street cred. more ›
