There are cool stickers, and then there are "slaps". This is the term given to sticker art that goes beyond the realms of mere graphics and into an artistic world, inhabited by mad creatures and bizarre characters. With eye-popping swagger, it draws from graffiti, street art, tattooing, surfing, skating and other popular culture.

The following represent some of the best slaps printed by companies that use Roland DG printers, vinyl cutters and integrated printer/cutters.
