Produce stamp

   ART CREEPS INTO THE PRODUCE SECTION
This is an Art Creeping piece by Kalynn Campbell of Los Angeles, California USA.
His idea centered around the idea that food bought at the market, especially produce, has been handled by strangers (maybe with questionable intent) prior to being bought and eaten.

"I printed a dozen 'stickers' (just white printing paper), cut them in shape and lightly coated the back with honey - sticking them to a piece of wax paper which I carried into the store in my back pocket. The hard part was putting them on the fruit without drawing attention from nosy mango buyers.

It's pretty subtle and most likely overlooked by the consumer, but I wanted to match the original label as close as I could and let the art 'blend in with the crowd'. For those who do notice the counterfeit labels, it will be a reminder they really don't know who has handled their food."

Vanity can be good

ART CREEPS INTO YOUR NEW CLOTHES TO TAKE AWAY YOUR GUILT

From an Art Creeper in Sweden:

The idea behind this creeping piece is partly about "Jantelagen", a concept deep-rooted in Scandinavians telling them they should not think they are anything special because that would be vanity.

Small cards of this ink drawing were placed in pockets of new clothing at several clothing stores in Sweden - it says to the finder "IT'S OK TO BE VAIN".

 It is a reminder that we are all beautiful and it is OK to feel beautiful. It's OK to buy that new outfit if you makes you feel good. Sometimes it's important to feel special.



The WOW! Signal

ART CREEPS IN FROM OUTER SPACE 

Art is about communication.
Behold a tiny voice on the wall, hand-carved from a pencil eraser.

This art creeping piece is a symbol of communication and making contact
The sequence of letters and numbers is from the "WOW! Signal", an actual signal of contact received from space in 1977. 

It now speaks from the wall of a 'Radio Shack' (what better place?) where it was stamped by an anonymous creeper.
