Launching the Furry Sticker Photo Gallery!

This post was written for the August 2026 edition of Midway Menagerie, a furry blogging carnival.

Where is furry? For me, the natural answer is furry conventions. My first exposure to furries was vlogs of Anthrocon, most of my interactions with furries (until this year) were at conventions, and I generally feel more comfortable talking to people face-to-face than online. But furcons only last a weekend and then I have to return to normal life. It's a harsh cut from a place where I belong in the community to a place where it feels like folks barely tolerate me.

Since I moved to the city a few years ago, however, I began to spot signs of other furries who lived nearby. Some furs had slapped stickers of their sonas on utility poles and street signs across the Boston area. I found more and more stickers as I explored the streets. Each time I passed one, it lifted my spirits. Even if I didn't know who stuck them, I knew that people like me lived nearby, and I felt the distant warmth of community again.

As some stickers became landmarks to me, I felt greater and greater awareness of their temporary nature. Stickers only last so long when exposed to the elements, and at any moment someone could tear them down, whether in the name of cleaning up "vandalism" or out of distaste for furries. So I decided to document the stickers, snapping photos whenever I came across a new site.

My plan was to one day make a website where other furs would appreciate the art of public stickering. Maybe some folks would spot their own fursonas and know that someone else had seen them and known what they were looking at. And when the stickers finally fell to exposure or human activity, they would still have a place on the Internet. As a matter of fact, just today I learned that a friend's sticker, which had become a minor landmark amongst my friend group, had disappeared from its pole. So now I'll give it its new home.

My furry sticker photo gallery is now available on this website! You can find it here or on the navigation bar. Please give it a look and feel free to leave a comment! My original hope for this project was to hear others' thoughts about the stickers and this collection, so I'd love to know what y'all think. :3

This will be an ongoing art project, so please check back occasionally to see what's new!
