You know those annoying little stickers you find on supermarket produce? Yeah, the ones you usually end up biting into or digesting. What if I told you they can actually serve a greater purpose? For one man produce stickers have become a source of artistic inspiration. I suppose one man’s minor annoyance is another man’s artistic tool.

By day Barry Snyder is an Erie, Colorado handyman. But in his spare time he is a unique artist who has garnered media attention from across the country. For over 30 years Barry has collected Price Look Up stickers to use as color chips in his own form of mosaic art. On average his creations take 6 months to complete and are comprised of up to 4,000 stickers.

Check out this short video from Food Network’s Unwrapped that profiles Barry Snyder and gives viewers a look into his world of sticker art.
