Balls to the Wall

Pop Cling Adhesive Prints

Generally speaking, you don’t do clingy. You got a restraining order on the dude who proposed on the second date. And moved out of town when psycho Sally single white femaled you.

But you might find yourself drawn to Pop Cling’s adhesive prints. Made of vinyl with a sticky back, the collection comprises limited-edition works by nineteen artists with various design backgrounds (cartoonists, doodlers, illustrators).

They’re a great option for peeps who appreciate art but don’t have the bank account to roll a collection just yet. Standouts include Skwak’s “InsectManiac,” a bright yellow, two-headed, unscary monster; Jessica Lopez’s “Mr. Sparkle,” a brightly colored creature that’s bordering on cute overload; and Jason Sho Green’s “Octopisland,” a predominately blue, psychedelic Noah’s Ark if you will.

And since they’re all priced under $100 (and some as little as $20), you won’t even resent their tendency to stick around.
