A little more than a year ago we came across a
sticker here in Soho that’s still is one of our all time favorites. There’s
something about the image of Britney in the Elvis outfit with the very subtle
skull and cellphone that we absolutely love. Here’s some info on spazmat, the
creator of the skull and cellphone image.
