As in: Photos , The Street

Yesterday, I noticed this on my way to work:

Then my office-mate alerted me to a sticker I might like on the way from my office to my local neighborhood SUBWAY. I had my camera ready and documented a number of stickers:

Obviously, many of these stickers are the work of the same mysterious artist, who made most of her images on stickers, but also posted a large image of the most iconic character in the series. But what of the other images? Is this a meme? The public art sticker?

Could this be the model for an assignment? One can use the Web's knowledge of the power of iconicity to structure one's stickers, one needs to make stickers provocative enough to be noticed by the pedestrian, to make text/image glib enough and 'chunked' enough to be absorbed in passing. Is this mysterious artist writing the city? Is this different than graffiti? Jeff?
