Start Talkin' Smack

Tacky Smack Wall Adhesives

Grab your cannons, writers. We’ve got competition. Seems someone’s been dressing our walls with sick insides. We’re aiming to bomb and burn.

Wait. That’s not graffiti — it’s Tacky Smack. The locally made wall adhesives come in more than 60 kooky and creative designs like splats, mermaids, lips, disco globes, and hanging gardens.

Go abstract with a smoke or sunburst pattern or choose the more literal and whimsical Thoughts on Facial Hair. Put the Control Room motif in your utility room, Dental Fields Forever over the bathroom mirror, or Too Early next to your coffeepot.

Each adhesive can be applied indoors or out, without sticky gunk. And artists like Jeff Larson, Jess Thorsen, Lori Pomeranz, Josh Lind, and Matthew Bollen each contributed a handful of inspired designs.

Now tag, you’re it.

Available at Retrofit Home, 1419 12th Avenue (206-568-4663 or retrofithome.com); online at tackysmack.com.
