POC POV Sticker

Here’s a clear vinyl sticker of an old favorite. First I made it as a small doodle for my sticker sheet. Then I blew it up as a larger painting. And now I’ve shrunk it down to a sticker again with a clear backing that you can put on just about anything. “POC” means people of color, and “POV” means “point of view”. Hopefully that is self explanatory.

If you want one cop it HERE.

POC POV

This is an typographic painting I made awhile ago as a sticker first and now as a full fledged painting. POC stands for “people or person of color” and POV stands for “point of view”. So it means people of color point of view. I painted this on cold press watercolor paper with gouache paint. This is all painted and drawn by by hand. 

Why? In popular media and history the POV of people of color has often been left out, ignored , forgotten, misquoted, misrepresented, or overshadowed. This initially was created to help librarians label books by authors of color but I believe it can apply in academic, professional, or home environments. Not only that, but I believe it can lead to some tough conversations about race, identity, and white supremacy.
