A few years back we bacame borderline obsessed with
two series of small handmade stickers that were put up around our neighborhood
(Soho, East Village, LES).

The first series had to do with religion
and baseball. Each sticker showed different people (Jesus, Khomeini, etc) in
baseball uniforms with religious symbols in the bottom corners. In all there
were maybe five or six that we found. The stickers lasted for about a month or
so and then were gone and never to return.

The second series, which went up right around this same
time, told the story of “The Fats.” Each one was different and each one carried
the story of the Fats forward. The Fats lasted a week or two and then were gone,
never to return.

Of the millions of stickers we’ve seen, these two
series still have stayed in our minds. To this day we have no idea who did them
or what they meant.

If anyone has any insight into them, please let
us know. We’d love to learn more
