Stickerbomb World by Soi Books

Stickerbomb World began back in 2008 when we launched the original Stickerbomb book series with Laurence King Publishing. Inspired by graffiti and the global street art and underground scenes, we put out open calls for sticker submissions from artists around the world, curated the best of them, and created a one-of-a-kind sticker collection in book form. Over the years, we added more themes, hosted events, opened a gallery, and built an international creative community around street art, music, and design.

Who We Are

Stickerbomb is run by:

• Ryo Sanada (Rios), based in Brussels

• Suridh Hassan (Shaz), based in London

• Steve Aston (SteveO), based in Jakarta

Together, we originally formed a creative studio called SRK in London, moving between the UK and Southeast Asia from around 2004 to 2017. We produced documentary films (including the first-ever Japanese hip-hop docs), covered DJ scratch battles, captured legendary dubstep nights for Bassweight, and explored football in Africa with Soka Afrika.

These weren’t just documentaries—they were deep dives into sound, culture, and movement.

Introducing Soi Books

After winding down SRK, we took our passion for storytelling, visual culture, and authenticity into the world of publishing, co-founding a new imprint called Soi Books. Born from our roots in documentary filmmaking and subcultural exploration, Soi Books specializes in high-end, collectible art books that showcase musicians, producers, street artists, and cultural icons. We’ve sold nearly half a million copies of our Stickerbomb series alone and continue to build on that success, bringing fresh perspectives and boundary-pushing content to readers worldwide.

• From Underground Culture to Collectible Art Books
  Soi Books grew out of our love for music, art, and storytelling. We bring the same documentary spirit to publishing, producing beautifully crafted books that capture the raw energy of subcultures and creative communities.

• Global Reach, Remote Team
  Our collaborators and production teams span the UK, Europe, Asia, and the US. Wherever talent and stories emerge, we’re ready to bring them to print with our eye for detail and design.
