Praise for Izastikup
"Inspired by graffiti, posters, and the communal culture of the Web, stickers are gainign wide attention as an artistic phenomenon...A sticker can be created Monday morning in New York, e-mailed to a stranger in Paris and affixed to the back of a trash receptacle on the Champs-Elysées in the early afternoon..." Samantha Storey, New York Times, September 26, 2004
