A messy week of Vomit and Sticky Missions

(The content of this post isn't as gross as the title might suggest).

First up we have installations by Vomit on Digbeth's High Street; slick designs and great colours.

This week also saw the launch of the UK-only Sticky Missions run by Obit and Tags, it consists of 50 sticker-related tasks of varying difficulty and ballsiness and will be running for the next few weeks (deadline announced soon). Here are a couple of my favourite tasks:

13 - Create a sticker using only pasta
15 - Design an OAP version of your sticker - Bonus point if you get an OAP to hold it up
30 - Put a sticker on a random persons back - Bonus point if they're wearing a suit.
35 - Set up an illegal market stall selling your stickers bonus if you make £5
48 - Put a sticker on a naked person

So far I've got 13 points and 5 missions in progress. Here are three of my favourite creations so far:
13 - Create a sticker using only pasta

 17 - Make a zombie sticker

41 - Make a 3D sticker

And here's a few of my favourites from everyone else:
Mosa
4 - Dress your character as a nerd/geek

 Obit 
6 - A life size poster of your character stuck up with you next to it

6TWO4
14 - Make your character into your favourite super-hero or villain - Bonus point for anyone that designs Tags' favourite character HINT hes a villain

Obit 
14 - Make your character into your favourite super-hero or villain - Bonus point for anyone that designs Tags' favourite character HINT hes a villain

More on the competition's progress and whether I've given up next week.

I bought one of Obit's new Collective Sketchbooks zines this week and took it to explore some of Digbeth's finest sights:
It's great to have some of his brilliant drawings and he drew a Princess Vader in the front of it for me. You can buy one here but be quick because they'll no doubt sell out soon.

As well as making Sticky Missions stickers this week I did some knitting for 6TWO4 in return for the canvas and stickers he sent me, I'll be gluing it to some card and handing it over when he visits Birmingham to meet a load of the local vandals next month.
