This original design takes the traditional Gadsden Flag and pairs it with the Beetlejuice Snake from the 1988 film Beetlejuice. NEVER TRUST THE LIVING is the declaration of the film as well as this bold, black and white sticker. The stickers are high-quality and suitable for use indoors and outdoors, measuring 3" tall x 5" wide. The perfect size for a water bottle or as a small bumper sticker, plus they make wonderful gifts! Each order contains three individual stickers.

There’s a great video up on SoundWorks Collection today featuring Beau Anthony Jimenez, sound designer at Naughty Dog, who shows off some of the ways the sounds for The Last Of Us 2 were recorded since there were no actual fungus zombies to stick in the recording booth.
Currently virtually on view at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California is artist Ermsy’s solo exhibition, “Took It Easy.”
Fascinated by American pop culture as a readily accessible, visual vernacular, Ermsy’s take on its beloved illustrated characters is both satirical and participatory. These adult-themed bastardizations of Garfield, Loony Tunes, The Simpsons, and the like, are simultaneously elated and anarchic in their absurd display of debauchery like tendencies.
Using familiar characters provides Ermsy with a set of pre-established imaginative boundaries within which to work. Like a hot-boxed descent into an alternate universe of nostalgic psychotropic Saturday morning cartoons, his world is a playful subversion of familiar, pop cultural fodder.
“I love pop culture,” Ermsy explains, “and I love exploring it.” His graphic exploration of pop culture uses popular cartoons in the same way that graffiti writers use letters. “Using well-known characters provides me with a base point, a frame to work within,” he explains. “With graffiti, the idea is to pick some letters from the alphabet, then go crazy with them or do whatever you want. Everybody starts with the same base point, and that’s graffiti. My starting point is to use characters in my artwork.”
