Smilingdisease is a website and art project dedicated to the dissemination of smilingdisease stickers and postcards. The stickers are meant to turn up anywhere and everywhere, all over the world. The postcards are blank on one side for the grassroots artist to have the freedom to create a drawing, painting, collage, whatever and send it back in to smilingdisease where it will be featured on the website, and perhaps later in an exhibition and eventually in book form. What could be more modern and contemporary than art from the people?


Curator: Scott Larkin
+ smilingdisease.org





Although smilingdisease sounds like random cheerfulness, its original victim, Scott Larkin from Oregon, claims it can be about anything anyone wants it to be. “There are no right or wrong answers which is the true beginning of freedom of thought.”

Here are some of the postcards that have been flooding in:
