fanclub 13 sticker # 89
this street sticker was made with trash from the streets on a “GOD HATES” sticker (similar to a Hello My Name Is Sticker) I got in a cool pack of blanks from Con Artist Collective.
It was completed on 3/15/17 while sitting at the Starbucks on Belcher at SR60 in Clearwater, FL.
I stuck it up in a small Labeauratoire Sticker Bomb on an electrical box at the intersection of Post Street & Park Street in Jacksonville, Florida on 3/22/17.
After 7 years, “Ray Johnson Fan Club” becomes “FANCLUB 13”
I worked anonymously under the artist name “Ray Johnson Fan Club” for seven years making street art collages and sending out mail art. But in 2017, I officially changed my Nom d’Artiste to “FANCLUB 13” – still in reference & reverence for Ray.
from a post I made on this day:
“RAYJOHNSONFANCLUB becomes FANCLUB13. “Today is January Friday the 13th. Exactly 21 years after Ray Johnson dyed himself dead. In his honor I’m watching “How to Draw a Bunny” again, and I am officially changing my nom d’artiste to: FANCLUB13. I will continue to update my sites with the work I have already completed before today as #rayjohnsonfanclub. But henceforth I will work only under the name #FANCLUB13 and you can eventually see all my future work @fanclub.13 or http://www.fanclub13.com.
FC13 sticker # 87
my very first collage using the artist name “FANCLUB 13”
this blue, Hello My Name Is sticker was made using trash from the streets on 1/13/17 while sitting at Black Crow Coffee at 722 2nd St N. in Old Northeast St. Pete.
i was still struggling with how to make the imprint and just used a stencil. Was considering making the stickers with the large “PAY NO ATTENTION” but later decided to make the imprints the same for the stickers as they are for the “relationships.”
It was stuckup the same night on the back of a stop sign on 7th Street N. beside the Morean Arts Center.

Back in April of 2016 I had the opportunity to make a quick trip to Denver, Colorado for the first time. We stayed on East Colfax Ave, near N.Downing St. I sat several times at (what was then) the Sanora Cafe to work on my collages with trash found on the streets of Denver.
I also began my first Urban Price Tags here. Made and left four of them in Denver. I need to revisit this fun project soon. These little red price tags are “numbered” in a random fashion depending on what numbers I discover in my found objects. They could be a dollar or euro amount, a percentage, or just any kind of number.
