I'm April Soetarman, an NYC-based artist, designer, and writer who also works under @WeirdSideProjects / WeirdSideProjects.com.
I've been anonymously installing these custom street signs with positive or unexpected messages in cities across the country since 2016. After a successful Kickstarter in 2018, I've been getting a lot of requests for more signs! I did another run back in 2020. The signs are currently retailing in art and museum stores, but now I'm doing a limited third-run.
FAQ
- Can you ship to outside the US?
Yes, but unfortunately shipping/customs outside of the US is not usually very cost-effective and I have to do it case-by-case (for example, shipping one sign to the UK previously cost $20+). Feel free to send an email to weirdsideprojects[at]gmail.com if you'd like a quote. - Can I buy other signs that I've seen on your instagram page?
These signs are less popular, but I have some limited quantities left. Send me an email! - Why is this a limited run/will the store stay open?
This is still a one-person operation and I don't have the resources to keep an online store running year-round. I may open it again in the future, but for now it's much easier to just process all the orders at once. I'm currently looking for small business fulfillment partners, so please let me know! - Do you do have bulk discounts?
Yes, send me an email about what quantities you're interested in. (I've had folks order 10+ signs at once, so I certainly offer a discount.) - Can I carry your signs in my store?
I've had museum stores and art stores carry the signs and other products. Please reach out for wholesale pricing.
