Dominicus Custos: Portrait of Adolph Occo - Kiss-Cut Sticker Design

This design showcases the sharp, gravure-style portrait of the Frisian physician Adolph Occo, as captured by the master engraver Dominicus Custos between 1590 and 1615.

Lineage and Composition

The portrait follows the rigorous traditions of Northern Renaissance printmaking, emphasizing linear precision and deep shadow. Custos employs intricate hatching and cross-hatching to define the doctor’s weathered features, the texture of his academic robes, and the starched rigidity of his ruff. The composition is framed by a clear, confident oval border that isolates the subject against a neutral background, focusing the viewer’s eye on the intellectual gravity of the face and the deliberate, scholarly gaze of the sitter.

The Scholarly Legacy

Adolph Occo was a figure of significant standing in the late 16th-century medical community, representing the intersection of classical humanism and emerging clinical practice. Custos, a pivotal figure in the Augsburg print trade, transforms Occo from a mere practitioner into a symbol of the era's obsession with scientific classification and individual legacy. The inclusion of subtle heraldry and Latinate inscriptions serves to anchor the subject in his professional reality, elevating the print beyond a simple likeness into an artifact of the early modern intellectual elite.

On the Sticker

Because this design is a kiss-cut decal, the intricate, swirling lines of Custos’s engraving are liberated from the rectangular confines of a traditional paper print. The contour-cut edges follow the silhouette of the frame, allowing the portrait to float on your surface of choice. This format turns a historical document into a portable piece of art, where the stark black-and-white contrast of the master’s technique stands out against smooth, flat surfaces like laptops or personal journals.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
