StickerCon: FROM THE ARCHIVES ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ฆ
An Art Market for Artist-Owned Works, Tools, and Studio Finds
This is a special StickerCon market where we invite artists of all levels to time-travel through their own creative history, intentionally curating and releasing selected pieces from their past work. This includes early experiments, retired or discontinued items, studio finds, test pieces, and creative tools that are no longer in active production.
This is a space for creative circulation, where past work is thoughtfully revisited and reintroduced, not simply cleared away.

Think of it as a time capsule of creative journeys. Youโll find a wide range of artist-owned pieces such as:
- Past works and early editions
- Retired or discontinued prints and merch
- B-grades, test runs, and rejected versions
- One-offs and limited pieces
- Comics, graphic novels, art books, and zines
- Posters, postcards, and paper goods
- Art toys, figurines, and small sculptures
- Handmade objects and craft pieces
- Design ephemera and process materials
- Creative tools, supplies, and studio extras
- Creative tools, supplies, and studio extras, such as items you no longer use due to excess, changes in process, upgrades in tools, switching materials or brands, or supplies that were ordered in the wrong size, type, or quantity
- Artist-owned apparel, books, and personal collections that have been part of your studio and creative life, whether kept for love, expression, reference, or inspiration
๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐:
- All items must be artist-owned and come from your personal creative library.
- Items do not all have to be works you personally created, as long as they are part of your creative practice and aligned with the spirit of art and making. All items must be artist-owned and legitimately sourced, including pre-existing or previously used pieces from your personal creative library. AI-generated works, stolen art, pirated copies, and unauthorized reproductions are not allowed. This market is for personal creative circulation, not mass reselling.
- For emphasis, bootlegs, pirated copies, or unauthorized reproductions are not allowed.

Not quite. This is not about casual clearing, bulk offloading, or passing things on for convenience. From The Archives focuses on intentional curation and creative circulation, where each table is a curated snapshot of an artistโs journey and every piece is chosen for its story, not just its availability.

Artists, illustrators, designers, makers, and creative practitioners of all levels are welcome, as long as the items are:
- Artist-owned
- Original or officially produced
- Part of your personal creative library
- Aligned with the spirit of art and making
- No mass resellers, no retail stock sourcing, and no bootlegs, pirated copies, or unauthorized reproductions.

From The Archives is specifically for work rooted in your past creative history. This may include pieces like older designs or versions, drafts, experiments, or discontinued concepts, such as B-grades, test runs, rejected versions, or items that were shelved due to changes in design, quality, or direction.
However, brand new collections or merch created as a fresh main release specifically for this market are not allowed. This space is about revisiting and recontextualizing past work, not launching something entirely new.

Itโs a space to look back with softness, not pressure.
To say: this was me then, and this is me now.
Every table becomes a mini time capsule.
Every piece carries a story. ๐ค๏ธ
