This beauty was on a Mazda Miata parked at Barton Springs Pool the other day. It's in really bad shape, which I'm kind of mystified by. I have a stickerloo on my truck that has been there for like six or seven years and is in better shape than this one. I can't tell but i think this artisan may have built this sticker on the actual bumper, instead of doing it on a substrate of another Waterloo sticker. This latter method is really the only way to do this and make it last.
Other than the obvious deteriorated state of this stickerloo, it is a fairly well-executed piece. It is not a necessarily challenging one since all of the letters are "stock", but the spacing and alignment is pretty good, at least until the last couple of letters. I think the technician who assembled this work did a reasonable job at staying true to the font, though I would have been more careful with the upside-down-d-as-p in the middle. It is not acceptable to just flip the letter and use it; you have to align it such that the body of the letter is in line with the neighboring letters. A solid effort. Would like to see this artist challenge his or herself to try engineer some new letters, or a longer piece.
