Stickers can come in many different shapes and sizes and also vary widely in color and design. They are often stuck to items such as lunchboxes, signs, lockers, notebooks, walls, cars, or windows, used as name tags, and so on. R. Stanton Avery is credited with creating the first self-adhesive sticker in 1935.

The following is a collection of stickers I have discovered in my travels around the world.

In Chama, New Mexico, while on an Arizona Highways Photo Workshop, I found these motorcycles plastered with stickers from their riding adventures. The riders have spent a LOT of time and miles on these bikes.

In Gatlinburg, Tennessee we ate at a restaurant that seems to have invited folks to share their stickers on their windows. My favorite was the Hopi Radio sticker from right here in Arizona.

 

These two collections were found in New York City last summer.

These two were in Marin County in northern California.

The surf town of Bolinas, CA.

My hometown of Flagstaff, Arizona, and Arizona Snow Bowl.
