(SPOT.ph) Sprucing up your favorite objects with stickers—from your laptop, phone case, or notebook covers—can be quite addicting. After all, sticker-bombing your things lets you express yourself creatively. Plus, you can easily remove the ones you no longer like (and replace them with new ones—the cycle never ends!).
If you’re looking for more to add to your collection, you’re in for a treat! The very first Sticker Con MNL will be held on March 10, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at JY Campos Hall B in Bayanihan Center, Pasig City. Some very talented local artists will come together to celebrate their work and share their love for creating stickers.
For Sticker CON MNL organizer Grace Marcellana of Fandom Feels PH, stickers bring about a wave of nostalgia. “I have encountered a lot of people who would say that collecting stickers remind them of their childhood, and I actually feel the same way.”
She adds, “There are a lot of conventions—comics, prints, fashion—featuring talented Pinoy artists. I realized that it’s about time local sticker artists and makers take center stage in a convention that we can call our own, so I came up with Sticker Con MNL.”
Get to know some of the participating sticker artists—whose works range from cute to sassy, inspirational to whimsical—with this roundup!

Betina Continuado (@betsy.cola)
She describes her art as twee and sure—a bit girly, but also a whole lot of sexy, risqué even. Her NSFW sticker pack is just that: NSFW. Her body positivity sticker pack was created because she was tired of being ashamed of her body (yaaasss, queen!), and her roller derby girls and space cadets are hella sexy. Not surprising given she’s a huge fan of pinups from the ‘60s and ‘70s.
