“Support the art you want to see in the world”
A Planet Nude Sticker Club member on why backing artists and community matters
When I saw that Planet Nude was starting a sticker club, I didn’t hesitate. I signed up immediately.
One of my favorite things to do is support artists who are creating within the niches where I find community. I’m pretty sure I picked this up somewhere else, so I won’t claim it as an original thought, but I’ve fully internalized this mantra: support the art you want to see in the world. That idea is what led me to become a paid subscriber to the Planet Nude newsletter in the first place, and it absolutely fueled my excitement when the sticker club was announced.
What really makes the Planet Nude Sticker Club special is that the designs come from multiple contributors within the broader Planet Nude-isphere — and those contributors are being paid for their work. This isn’t a faceless operation, and it’s not someone churning out AI-generated images or lifting art to make a quick buck. It’s a real community of artists crafting thoughtful, playful, meaningful work that celebrates a shared passion for nude living. I genuinely appreciate the coordination, care, talent, and time that clearly go into each monthly drop.

And it’s not just stickers, either. One month included a retro-style, single-sheet zine featuring an original illustrated story. Another included a newspaper-style insert with several articles focused on activism and protecting nude spaces. Those extras added depth and context, and they made each delivery feel intentional — like a small package of culture, not just merch.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t share one last anecdote, because it speaks to how unexpectedly meaningful this has been for me.
I’ve always had what I jokingly call “sticker anxiety.” It’s probably not a real thing, but I know I’m not alone. I’ve always struggled to actually use stickers, because once you place them somewhere, they’re gone. If I put one on my laptop, what happens when I get a new laptop? If it goes on a water bottle and the bottle gets lost, that sticker is gone forever. Some stickers carry real sentimental weight, and committing them to a permanent surface can feel weirdly stressful.
When I joined the PN Sticker Club, I remember thinking, What am I doing? I don’t even use stickers. I usually just let them collect in a box. That realization sent me down a rabbit hole, and I eventually found a handmade silicone-page sticker book. The pages hold stickers securely but allow them to be peeled off without damaging the adhesive. Now I’m building an album of stickers I’ve collected throughout my adult life — including every Planet Nude sticker.
In an unexpected way, this helped me get over that anxiety. I can enjoy and display these stickers without feeling like they’re wasted or gone forever. And if I ever want to give one away or permanently place it somewhere, I still can.
I’m genuinely thrilled to be part of the Planet Nude Sticker Club, and I’m grateful that this group of artists has another outlet to share their creative, joyful, and affirming nudie work with the world. 🪐

Wow! What a great idea to start a sticker book. I'll have to see if I can find one with pages like you found so the sticker isn't stuck permanently. When I was a teacher I had my students create Interactive Notebooks for our topics in history and they were always a hit and I should have thought of the same idea for my naturist writings and things like the sticker club. I love it when someone else provides an inspirational idea. Thanks for sharing. Jeff
I enjoyed this post. As a fellow member of the Planet Nude Sticker Club, I look forward to receiving something fun and delightful in my mailbox each month.
I share your sticker anxiety. As a result, I have held onto stickers dating back as far as the 1970s. Now, in my old age, I am finally learning to let go. For whom am I saving them? Rather than hoarding them for someone else's future pleasure (or, heaven forbid, to be tossed into a dumpster when I die), I've begun using my stickers in recent years. It's liberating! I put them on birthday cards. I do indeed stick them on my laptop, my water bottles, and my car.... except for my Planet Nude stickers. They feel significant and "important" in a different way. The entire series, thus far, is safely in a cigar box.The one other sticker I'm preserving was given to me by Andrew Martinez in 1992. It's a bumper sticker that says, "Hey, man, it's just a dick."
