Label 228: A Street Art Project

Label 228 is a digital PDF compilation of street art created on priority mail labels. This illustrated art book is available as an instant download.

Compiled by Camden Noir, it brings together artwork made for public display on small, portable labels. The collection includes paintings, drawings, stencils, poetry, and other contributions.

The digital edition preserves a 208-page illustrated volume originally published by Soft Skull Press in 2009.

Book Overview

Label 228: A Street Art Project gathers street art created on United States priority mail labels and displayed in public spaces. Camden Noir launched the project by inviting artists to submit work made on Label 228 stickers.

Within six months, Noir had received more than 500 labels from artists around the world. The project later grew to more than 1,500 labels from over 600 artists. This book presents a selection of that work.

Why Label 228 Matters

The project records a form of street art made on an inexpensive, mobile, and disposable surface. Its compact format gave artists a way to create and exhibit work without painting directly on walls, vehicles, or other public objects.

The collection also provides a more permanent record of artwork that could otherwise become weathered or disappear from public view. Its open submission format reflects the book’s emphasis on artistic freedom.
