Japan’s powerhouse messaging app Line announced last February that it would begin accepting applications for sticker sets made by ordinary folks (or more likely, independent designers), to whom the company would share 50 percent of the sales revenues with. Late last week, while Tech in Asia was in the thick of Startup Asia Singapore 2014, the app’s “Creators Market” officially opened for business.
We’re shameless, shameless fans of stickers here at Tech in Asia, so much so that even this straight-laced 25-year old American will whip out teddy bears and anime princesses on a daily basis. With that in mind, we couldn’t help but take a look at what turned up when Line opened its sticker market to the public. Would there be any weirdo goodness, on a par with Keiko Sootome’s mind-bogglingly creepy illustrations? Below we’ve laid out some of our favorite DIY sets.
