The Sticker Church origin story, in one handy sticker + postcard bundle. All this *gestures around expansively* began with one idea: celebrate the launch of the Trans and Genderqueer Subjects volume, and spread some trans + genderqueer joy, with stickers. MxComan’s phenomenal cover art for the book was too good to not be sticker-ified. Original sets were given out free, in super limited numbers, this past spring and summer. Since then, things have gotten a bit out of hand in the sticker-verse, in the best of ways. Here, on sale for the first time, is the set that started it all.

For their very existence, pearls depend on grit. They are an act of resistance, of stubborn growth. After an irritant enters their shell, molluscs secrete layers of stuff that turns into nacre (mother-of-pearl), encasing the “intruder” in an iridscent prison. Don’t let their lustre fool you: pearls have seen some shit. And they have thrived because of it.

In the Middle Ages, pearls symbolized the soul, purity, virginity, and power. Fast forward to the late 1870s: Henry Croft, an orphan street-sweeper in London, festooned his suit with pearl buttons, becoming the first Pearly King, working-class royalty whose members dedicate themselves to raising money for charity. Croft needed a way to get people’s attention when raising money for charity. The pearl’s lustre did just that. Ethical aesthetics. Politicized radiance.

This is the lineage we point to, with this postcard. Miniatures from MxComan’s cover art for the Trans and Genderqueer Subjects volume - a non-binary saint in the roundel + their trans colleague in the rectangular frame - take centre stage here. May their lustrous light shine on us all.

Obsessed with this design? (We are too.) Both saints are available as individual designs on the collection’s sticker sheet, and together on wrapping paper.

Send some trans <3 direct to who needs it with this postcard. Or send some love your own way by putting this postcard up front and centre on your bedroom wall. Remember folks: glitter is a strategy. And those of who wield it weave powerful magics that cannot ever be fully suppressed. Once unleashed, glitter can never be contained - as those of us who’ve received a glitter-filled envelope know all too well.

This design showcases 100% real graffiti, spotted on a pillar outside the Houses of Parliament, London, UK. It stayed in place for about 6 weeks before being removed. The graffiti may no longer be visible, but glitter hangs in the air.

Obsessed with this design? (We are too.) Plaster everything you own with the sticker version, or spread the <3 with wild abandon courtesy of the sticker sheet.

Our most business-friendly manicule set. (We’re serious.) A bumper crop of 10 “just the facts” manicule designs from medieval manuscripts.

They say “no” is a complete sentence. Let your stickers do the talking with the bonus “nō” stickers exclusively available on this sheet. Perfect for making your feelings plain.

NB: The abbreviation “NB” comes from the Latin phrase nota bene, meaning “note well”. For this reason, manicules are also known as “nota bene marks”, as they direct you to pay attention to a particularly juicy bit of text. Plot twist: medieval scribes and readers didn’t actually abbreviate nota bene to “NB”. They used the siglum “nō” instead. The macron (straight line) over the “o” here marks a long vowel. So, e.g., the word “note” has a long “o” sound, whilst the word “not” has a short “o” sound. Reclaimed for 2020-something life, “nō” is pleasingly ambiguous: meaning both “NB” and “yeah, hard NOOOOOO to this right here”.

A motley assortment of weird/cute/expressive manicules. Sometimes a disembodied hand just won’t do. Make your point clear with the stars of this sheet: a finger-wagging saint, an unamused fashionista, a confused bro, a supercilious scribe, a snarling dog/hand hybrid (YES but WHY), and the cutest little doggo around. They’re all good stickers, Brent.

Some things never change. People like drawing dicks on things, including in the margins of manuscripts. We’ve sourced some A-grade medieval junk from marginal doodles, surgical illustrations, and bona fide penicules (penis-manicules, for the uninitiated) to create the phallic sheet of your sticker dreams. All the manuscript peen, remixed with references to monochromatic tribal and Victorian-era tattoos, Rococo opulence, Ancient Roman winged penis amulets and their descendants, the obscene metal badges that were all the rage in the Middle Ages. Phallic power for everyone, of every gender.
