Background
Petr (pronounced "Pet-urr") the Anteatr stickers were created by an anonymous student and started appearing around the University
of California, Irvine campus in September 2018. The stickers are an homage to the UCI mascot, Peter the Anteater, and intended
as a gift to enhance the school's culture and to help bring students together. The original artist, known as Petr the Anteatr
on social media or "Original Petr", created 13 sticker designs between September 2018 and his graduation in June 2019. He
finally revealed his identity and first name, Qasim, on the @petr_the_anteatr Instagram with the release of Grad Petr, his
final sticker.
