#228collection

Here are some recent additions to the #228Collection! #AllTheArtistsAreTagged, well, most of them at least! Need help with the second from the left, top row, and #Taki183 and #HarshD30 are #HashtagOnly! #HalopiggCollection #228 #label228 #228label #stickerwars

Finally organizing the additions to the #228Collection from @muralfestival! I think I'm now at over 800 artists that I've met in person and gotten a tag/doodle/piece from! #HalopigCollection #AllTheArtistsAreTagged (at MURAL)

My next trip to Vegas took place in February of 2015. I was on my way to my first @powwowworldwide and decided to stay in Vegas for a few days first. As I was boarding my plane in NYC I walked through first class to get to my seat and what do you know I see @flavorflavofficial himself! At this point I was already deep into collecting artist tags/doodles/signatures on postal labels aka the #228Collection, and I knew I had to add one. As I walked past Flav I tried to grab a blank sticker and a marker to get him to sign one but I ended up taking too long and holding up the line. At this point Flav says to me, “Go sit down, I’ll come see you during the flight.” At this point I go take my seat and proceed to fly to Vegas thinking that was likely the end of my PE story. Then, at the very end of the flight, Flavor Flav starts walking back in coach asking, “Yo, where’s homie at?” At that point I put my hand up, he came though, and then proceeded to sign a blank postal label on his one of his world famous clock necklaces. I’m so glad I caught this picture, I wish I knew what was going through that woman’s head in this flick.... shout-out to @roscoesofficial and @geedupco thanks for sponsoring #FlavorFlav! The #228label can be seen in the second slide, it’s one of a large handful of non-art celebs I’ve gotten a tag from. #HalopiggCollection #getupgetgetgetdown911isajokeinyourtown #Flav #PublicEnemy #geedup #roscoeschickenandwaffles #streetartspringbreak (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWgmjVn7bL/?igshid=sndwc8i4zjph

Last weekend in my IG stories I asked you all who you wanted me to post. @Mr_Aryz was a crowd favorite and I eventually posted three out of the five walls of his that I’ve photographed! Here is a flick of #Aryz in action in #DowntownDetroit. I was in town for an @obeygiant solo show at the @librarystreetcollective and Aryz just so happened to be in town painting. Funny story, I briefly met Aryz and had him rock a sticker for my #228Collection. It was the only tag I secured on that trip and I totally forgot about for months. Then at a much later date and time I was going through my stack of blank stickers and the Aryz popped out! I was both super psyched and a little disappointed in myself for almost losing track of it! Anyway, I’ll post a pic of it in my IG stories for you all to enjoy and at some point over this #ImChillinAtHome period I’m sure the #228Collection will go live! #Mr_Aryz #detroitstreetart #mural #muralism #WIP #AlmostDoneHere #AllTheHits #HalopiggArchive #artingwithhalopigg (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DKBRNHnsO/?igshid=m5no8ywqnpv7

I have a poll up now on my IG stories asking if you think I’m an “Art Collector” or and “Art Hoarder?” All I’m going to say is would a hoarder have everything this well organized???? Didn’t think so 😂 #HalopiggCollection #228Collection #ObeyStickerArchive #BuyArt @ultrapro_official #ThreeRingBinder #BindersFullOfStickers #artingwithhalopigg https://www.instagram.com/p/BslPFQnn0IJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c6sjje7pwdvb

Amazing addition to the #228Collection by @markchronic! Mark was nice enough to both sign a sticker for me and then send me this print on paper/228 label that he made at his studio in Japan!!! Artists that I haven’t met before be on the lookout for me at Art Basel so I can add you to the collection as it nears 1000 artists that I’ve met in person! #MarkDrew #MarkChronic #NameThatTune #HalopiggCollection #label228 #Peanuts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqz6Gien0O_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e1u2ubkbzixt

Between @steadmanart’s show at @haightstreetart last night and @complexcon/@thinkspace_art ‘s opening, I’ve gotten some nice additions to the #228Collection in the last few days! #AllTheArtistsAreTagged #HalopiggCollection #artingwithhalopigg https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4yBGOndBD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=evft9zpjysi
