Tonight's going to be short and sweet. My parents are in town for a conference, so I've spent most of my time hanging out with them. But as always I want to keep my current momentum and at least get something up. So today's find isn't something I found much on but has been catching my eye for a couple of years.
When you zoom in on the bottom of the sticker you can make out the site menacethreads.com. The page you end up on has an image of a man wearing a shirt with the site's logo and the option to buy it for ten bucks. Heading over to their facebook page, there are a few posts from when the page was created in 2012 but nothing recent. If I had to guess I would say the site hasn't been active for a couple of years. Now that isn't to say the creators aren't still active in the sticker graffiti world. According to their page bio, the duo behind the sticker have been around doing graffiti since 2005 and felt that they were at a good place to take a next step. So the business may be inactive but I'm sure the people behind it aren't. What I like about this sticker is it's simplistic and kind of pop arty. Not quite Warhol but definitely along that line of realistic and cartoony. Just a closeup of a shocked girl's face. An image that easily grabs your attention yet requires you to really get up and investigate what it's truly about. I think what also draws me in is that it seems to exude an eerie vibe. I could easily see this as a horror movie poster or as a product in Hot Topic. Then again with a name like Menace Threads this isn't that hard of a stretch. Also you know me, I'm into anything kind of dark that allows me to express my inner goth.
