My Incredibly Niche Sticker venture continues to entertain me. Today's idea: British power stations.

Four classic behemoths and then one of Robert Palmer and John Taylor.

What excites me about being able to make stickers is that a lot of my stuff can find a place here. That Lambada sketch has sat in my Procreate gallery for at least a year, and it was just a rough sketch, but it makes perfect sense on a sticker. Sometimes you just need to find the right medium.

I was on the other end of a Zoom call when some of these were painted. I like to think they're probably the best ones.

Reader, I bought all the gear.
This continues to escalate (in my head at least). Currently thinking about buying all the sticker-making gear rather than paying someone else to make them.
The thing is, I think it's silly ideas like this that catch on. I do wonder if a monthly sticker club has got some mileage in it. Would you subscribe? Say, £10 for a themed set of five stickers every month? I wouldn't need a huge number of subscribers to break even.
