Name Tagging Martha Cooper

Name Tagging Martha Cooper

Got this book out from the library today with some really good examples of how "hello my name is" stickers have become a big part of graffiti culture. With references to the art of putting up stickers and how sticker art has grown and grown.

History of the Hello my name is sticker...

In the late 70's and early 80's writers began to tag on small name badges sold in stationary stores. The chummy "Hello my name is sticker" became a favourite with writers for its unintended whimsical connection to graffiti.
