7/9 PARK RECORD: John Bukaty adds more than color to the Park City Song Summit

7/5 SLTRIB: At StickerCon, Utah artists will sell their work in small, adhesive-backed packages
Calling all collectors: 35 Utah artists will put their art skills to the test this weekend, at the first StickerCon.
The event on Sunday is hosted by Copperhive Vintage, a vintage and indie artist shop in South Salt Lake — and owner Jacqueline Whitmore said the inspiration came from one of the store’s popular vendor markets.
“Copperhive Vintage kind of essentially got started by doing flea markets and [other] markets,” Whitmore said, and applying that model to their brick-and-mortar store was a natural fit — with the added benefit of creating a community space.

6/18 SALT LAKE MAGAZINE: Local Artist Sticker Machine Makes it Fun and Easy to Collect Local Art
There’s a nearly universal childhood experience of being dragged along for mundane adult errands, struggling to keep your hands to yourself in the grocery store cart, or counting the minute hand at the laundromat. Just when your kid brain is about to explode from boredom, you spot a vending machine hidden in the corner. No, it’s not filled with sugar-laden sodas (Mom would just say “no” anyway), it’s a sticker machine offering a reprieve from this task-filled purgatory with the promise of mystery and excitement. Just a quarter away lies a shiny new toy, and once you get your sticky fingers on it, this day of tear-jerking monotony will all be worth it. That is, until your adolescent attention span moves on to something newer and shiner and the sticker becomes another forgotten piece of junk in the toy box.
