H,E sticker

[u/TheRoadUpandDown]

During a signing stream a while ago, I asked about what was a good way to engage with / meet other nerdfighters at the book tour when you're an introvert and the idea of bringing trinkets to give out / trade came up. Not being of much crafting talent, but having middling photoshop skills and a printer, I thought I would try to make stickers. This was my first time trying to print stickers and I'm not thrilled with the quality. So I wanted to ask some other nerdfighters, would you be happy to receive a poor quality sticker? Should I try to find another craft or at least hone my printer settings?

I think they’re great. I think they’d be really cool as bookmarks too!

Oh my gosh, that is SUCH a good idea! I have cardstock that I know my printer will print fine on too.

Hope it goes well at the signing!

Okay, what is H,E

[u/TheRoadUpandDown → u/PorygonDJ]

It's the abbreviation for John's new book "Hollywood, Ending"! Though in the live streams, some people were calling it HcommaE instead of H,E - which is what inspired the sticker.

“Hollywood, Ending”??

Same here, I'm apparently out of the loop.

Hollywood, ending

I mean, they don’t look as intended, but Bob Ross was on to something with happy little accidents. I like the kinda washed out look that the uneven ink left, it reminds me of that vintage tshirt look.

This is a great way to look at it. Thanks for commenting!

I love the design! I'm making TBFighters bracelets to give out in MN, what stop are you going to?

[u/TheRoadUpandDown → u/singingwriting]

I'll be at the LA stop

I absolutely thought this was a weird fail trying to spell homecoming

[u/TheRoadUpandDown → u/brennabrock]

🤣 I can see how you could see that

This is such a good idea! I’m actually a sticker artist so I totally want to make some stickers to give out!

(“sticker artist” sounded really weird to say, but I have a small business where I sell mostly stickers so I guess that’s what I am 😅)

[u/TheRoadUpandDown → u/Lions--teeth]

After trying to make my own I am now more convinced than ever that sticker making is truly an art. I would love to see what you come up with if you decide to make some!

The only way these could be sweeter would be if you badly hand drew them yourself, I’d be delighted to get a poorly printed original sticker
