That would be solid to do.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

If I can get it. It's getting really frustrating. So much tiny ****.


I've already cut out the smaller words, and I think I'm going to cut out the police too. With my stenciling skills, they'll just end up looking like some squiggly lines.

Yeah, I got a bit of underspray. I usually use some spray adhesive to keep the tiny bits down, but I couldn't find it. So I used hairspray.

yeah those jeans are sick. are you going to spray more **** on them?

I think I'm gonna make a Choking Victim stencil and put that on, then just put some patches on.

[POINTLESS5448]

id go with just spraypaint. get alot of different colors and it would look better than patches in my opinion.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

id go with just spraypaint. get alot of different colors and it would look better than patches in my opinion.You mean, the same stencil just sprayed a bunch of times?

I dunno. I just made that Choking Victim one. Remind me to stop making crazy, hardcore, complex ones like that Propagandhi, and just stick with the simple V inside a C logo.

[POINTLESS5448]

no i mean a bunch of different ones. but dont make them all black or all red.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Yeah. right now all I've got is red. I just put the CV one on there.


I want to put patches on, because I bought them, then realized they have those little pre-worn spots that are ****ing retarded, so I wanted to put some patches over those.

[skavid]

I've been working on that same Propagandhi stencil for like two days now. But I'm gonna just turn it into a shirt and leave all the cops and stuff on it.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Yeah, it took me about 3 hours total and I left the cops, and the smaller words out. Good luck.

If it turns out wicked, I'm going to be really jealous.

[coheneran]

I feel challenged, I'll make that Propagandhi stencil as well.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I feel challenged, I'll make that Propagandhi stencil as well.Oohh hooo. Now it's a challenge.

Everyone is going to look better than mine, but we'll see which of you makes a better full stencil.

I was pointing more towards the security camera, which hasn't been done a 1000 times and the cuts are so f'ucking clean.

[good rats]

Yea the camera is good. Who's the artist?

[faith and fiction]

tyRONE from Melbourne

[good rats]

Ohh, I've never heard of that guy but the camera looks familiar.

There is so much great street art/stencils in Melbourne. A while ago I was walking down a street in the city and found heaps of Banksy stencils.

[faith and fiction]

Dallas is mainly a sesspool of dirty toy tags

But next time I'm downtown I'm gonna take a picture of this huge window piece some dudes did on like a 5th floor by taking their bikes up to the ledge and setting their pegs on the ledge and balancing on the bikes like that. It's insane and really good.

And across the street is a wall with Black Flag bars that the band put there when they played the building back in the 80s.

Neat. I've never seen a pair of pants like that.

I have some white corduroys that I think I'm going to tie-dye with black and grey. It'll be a lot of work, but if they turn out less crazy than it sounds, and actually somewhat decent, I may keep them instead of sell them.

[mullets suk]

two pages back i asked about shoes and i didnt get a reply. so does any one Know how to make shoes? or at lest the cut out that i would need to get the shape right?

Also in the mean time im making a Damone and Epoxies shirt. i should have them done by the end of the week. (if i can get the blank shirts)

siiick, thats really cool.

[coheneran]

That is pretty damn cool.

How do you tiedye?

[asdf]

That is pretty damn cool.

How do you tiedye?
There are many ways to go about tie-dying, but my mom and I have pretty much stuck to the same way.

First of all how to get the patterns. To get the classic and most well known pattern, the swirl, you lay out the fabric, and then twist it from the center. When you have it all rolled up, wrap it up with rubberbands (3 or 4 should be good).

To get a striped pattern, fold the fabric in a pleated pattern. Then put rubberbands on it to hold it in place. The rubberbands will be used to separate the colors in your tie-dye.

To get a pattern like I did on those pants, think of it this way. Each one of those circles represents a rubberband. It's kind of difficult to explain without visuals (as a lot of this is), but just try to picture it. You just bunch up sections of the cloth, and rubberband them. the rubberbands separate the colors.


Now the old way to dye them is to dip the bunched up clothes completely in dye (like coloring easter eggs), but I don't exactly know how that works. Honestly, you 'd have to ask someone else.

The way that I dye items is that we have bottles (they look like resuraunt ketchup and mustard bottles kind of) that we have the different colors in. We basically just pour the color onto the fabric where we want it to be.

But before you dye any fabric, you need to soak the fabric in soda ash (this is after you roll it up), so that the dye will stay. a gallon of water and two cups of soda ash is what I think we use, and let the fabric soak in that for 20 minutes.

Then you dye the fabric.

There are different types of dye. If you ever see some tie-dye that is really light and faded, it's because they likely used rit dye. Stay away from rit, it sucks. We buy our dye from http://www.dharmatrading.com/
Which is a site that can also probably give you better instructions on tie-dying.

When you're done dying, wrap up the item in a plastic bag and let it sit for 24 hours. I've also read that 12 hours should be good, but I always just wait 24.

After the 24 hours, put the item under running water and take off the rubber bands. rinse until the water coming out of the cloth is clear. Then put in the washer and drier (or air dry).


Like I said, if you're really interested in differet ways to tie-dye, look on the dharma trading site. I did my best to explain, but it's hard to do without visuals.

I've been tie-dying to the purpose of selling for about 5 years now.


Edit: some things I forgot to mention:
Your best fabric choice is 100% cotton. Hemp works as well, but is more expensive. I say stick with 100% cotton, and your clothes will turn out great.

When rubberbanding your clothes, it's good to have them a little bit damp first. It makes the clothes a lot easier to mold.

Rubber gloves and plastic is a good investment. We have part of an old shower curtain that we put on our table, so that the dye doesn't stain it. Plus the dye can stain your hands, so gloves come in handy (get it?).

Don't be pissed if your first attempt sucks. It takes lots of experimentation.

Sorry about the incredibly long post.

How does one sell tie-dyed clothing and does it make good money?
My mom and I go to local artist markets and craft markets and sell. Booth fees can be really cheap, or nothing at all, and depending on the amount of product, we can get a pretty good amount of money. Also, we price our clothes really cheaply, as we use clothes from GoodWill. Affordable tie-dye sells.

I made a leftover crack stencil out of the vynil layer of an old mousepad and used it with spraypaint on my (reasonably) new skateboard deck. Ill post a picture or two when i figure out how to...would anyone know a way to make sure the paint doesnt bleed under the stencil at all? I didnt realise how long it would take to cut all the letters out too :eek:

what do you use? i was thinking overhead projector sheets...if you use something that isnt sticky on one side, how do u keep it from lifting off what you want to spray onto? ps. i copied the letters freehand when i drew the trace :cool:

[coheneran]

I use tape, but the best thing is a pair of rubber gloves and just holding it down while you spray.

I use freezerpaper which sticks down on one side, best method i think. If u dont want something to lift up when u spay i would just hold it down. also i dont use sprays. I have to brush on the paint. it takes a little more efoort but i have more control.

yeah, i used oil pastel over a stencil on my griptape before which worked REALLY well (it doesnt rub off when your skating and it doesnt make your griptape slippery), the control you get with non-spray stuff is good...but i really wanted that spraycan look. Ill definately try the freezerpaper next time, thanks.

i have never used viynal but skateboard are hard becuse of the concave but if you put little rocks around what you cut out and spray from like 8 inches back in small brusts to avoid putting too much paint down that should help to get ride of underspray most of the time i do not follow this and spray way to much paint down so it bleeds and **** up my ****

and i dont know if anybody answered it


so heres some stuff i read

spermicide: 14 drops of pure lemon juice, honey to taste and cornstarch to desired consistency. rub it all over everything getting as much of it as possible around and in and all on all the sex parts its messy but wicked fun. I guess the acidity in the lemon jucie kills the sperm

Herbal Abortion:
Get your glowing hands on these herbs: motherwort, pennyroyal, goldenseal root capsules, blue cohosh root and fresh ginger root. Get access to a kitchen.

1.) Infuse 1/2 ounce (a medium handful) of motherwort and 1/2 ounce of pennyroyal in 2 or 3 cups of boiling water; steep the mixture by covering it on low heat for 20 minutes, now strain the mixture.

2.) Simmer 1ounce of blue cohosh root in 2 cups of cold water for 20 minutes (Covered) then strain.

3) Mix steps on and 2 together.

Drink piping hot, just like that pregnant body of yours. Drink 1/4 cup of this 4 or 5 times per day, or drink one and a half cups a day, drinking a little every hour.

Take 2 goldenseal root capsultes 3 times a day - chew fresh ginger and make some ginger tea and-drink it all the time

Do not take this for more than a week. If it does not work then i suggest your contact your local abortion provider and set up an appointment. I started bleeding within 36 hours of my first assault on the sperm warriors.

This mixture tastes like death, drink with honey, breathe! grab a friends hand, and when you start bleeding dance!

3) Mix steps on and 2 together.

Drink piping hot, just like that pregnant body of yours. Drink 1/4 cup of this 4 or 5 times per day, or drink one and a half cups a day, drinking a little every hour.

Take 2 goldenseal root capsultes 3 times a day - chew fresh ginger and make some ginger tea and-drink it all the time

Do not take this for more than a week. If it does not work then i suggest your contact your local abortion provider and set up an appointment. I started bleeding within 36 hours of my first assault on the sperm warriors.

This mixture tastes like death, drink with honey, breathe! grab a friends hand, and when you start bleeding dance!

Dude, that's amazing. Do you think you could scan that zine and spread it around (my way)? I'd love to read the whole of it. If you do, I could send you a copy of my friend's Adventures In Menstruation. It's a funny zine.

like places to sleep and such.

where would you be allowed to pitch the tent? i think most places it'd be illegal, except camping grounds. but if you're traveling by train, you won't come by any camping grounds.

I was just about to ask about travelling.

These holidays me and my friends are going to be going for a riding trip. Roughly 400km on bikes. We will probably be eating LOTS of tin food and dumspter diving, and if we can take our guitars we will busk for money for food.

So anyone got tips about travelling on a bike? Any do's and don't?


And Sr800, you could always try trainhopping..If you have a train yard near you go peep around every now and then and get to know the place and how it works. Trainhopping would be the cheapest and funnest option. Unless you get caught..then you're ****ed.

Cardboard was crazy hard.

I use sugar paper/paper card, or whatever you wanna call it. Not quite as thick as cardboard, but not quite as thin as paper.

[asdf]

Posterboard.

Man, if you lived anywhere near me which you don't, I would totally give you some. Since I always have connections to the weirdest stuff, this friend of my parents dropped off some really great to use posterboard like material for me to make stencils with. There's just way too much of it, I'll never need that much.

Posterboard is easy to find, it's at Staples!

hahaha, trainhopping has always been kind of intimidating to me, like something that'd be fun to do but i'd be too scared of, although i plan on trying it once in my life. the problem is, i saw a documentary about the squatter punk culture and train hopping, and they were talking about how in the recent years, security has tightened by a whole lot and it's getting more and more difficult.

and for biking, my friend has a really good bag for biking, it's like a big bag with one strap that goes across your torso and goes on your back, looks kind of like a big messenger/tote bag. it fits a LOT of stuff.

also, i would probably try to plan a biking trip in either early fall or mid spring, because of the hot deserts in the summer that could dehydrate you easily, and the snow/rain during winter. but it all depends on where you are, i guess.

Yea I have no idea what the train yards are like over there but here it would be nearly impossible to train hop. I've never seen a ridable train in any of the yards around here... aah well.

http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3738/1ej3.jpg

Thats the bike I'll probably be riding. It needs a fair amount of work first though. I need to find some new wheels and find a new thing to go on the back wheel...where the chain goes.

Im gonna take some milkcrates and attach them to the back and I know how to carry my bag, but any tips for carrying an acoustic in a hard case? I don't want it flying off when I'm riding along main roads.

If you're gonna have the milkcrates tall enough and you're sure they'd be secure enough, you could strap the guitar to the back of the crates. Make sure there's still room to be able to see behind you, or get one of those side-mirror dealies you can attach to your handle but that can be taken off afterwards.

Also, take lots of puncture repair kits.

so i was browsing through the pages of some skate mag on the plane yesterday and i came across these jeans that had the dc logo on the pocket and the looked cool so i decided to make myself a stencil and spray it on my jeans.

Yea chances are I'll strap the guitar onto the back.

Or I might get two milkcrates, put them side by side, and cut off the part seperating them both, so I then have 1 big crate..The guitar could fit in there along with a lot of other stuff.


EDIT: Also, anyone have any experience with DIY tattoos?

[PipeBomb]

trainhopping from a trainyard allways seemed kidna unnessessarily risky


you could allways go down about a mile after the yard and hdie then when the train starts to pass just run your *** of and reach for somethin to grab hold of

I did it when I was younger... and simply put. It was a mistake. All ive got to show for it are a few messy black dots on my arm.

Anyway the whole point (Well sort of) with DIY is to avoid buying from massive companys such as Wal-Mart. Tattoo shops are genrally independent and small anyway.. meaning its a good thing to support them. Making your own gun will proably end up costing more, hurting more and giving you skin cancer more.

I bet you would end up buying the ink and componants from somewhere like Wal-Mart anyhow.

How much would you sell a shirt for. Do you determine it by the amount of work, how many layers, amount of letterings or what?? Im thinking most likely a flat rate of 5-10$(US).

[Danger Bird]

How do you make the holes?For the bowl, insert a spoon and twist, then use the handle of the spoon to punch out a stem. It's an apple, so anything would work. You could take a bite out for the bowl and jam a pencil through to the other side.

Tattoo shops still charge a fair amount of money that I don't have. And I can make a tattoo gun with parts from home for free. Chances are I wouldn't even have to leave the house to get stuff for it, so it would be much cheaper than going to a tattoo shop...

I'll let you all know how it turns out. It's not going to be anything big, really small near my foot to try it out.

I rarely sell any stenciled stuff just because of the sheer amount of work that can go into it. Coustom shirts/patches are pretty difficult, and I usually only do them as gifts for friends.

so, thats just with everyday spray paint? What kind of paper did you use for the stencil?

[POINTLESS5448]

yeah its the cheap kind too. it works well but it fades after a while.
and brett used a folder. one of those manilla or whatever its called folders. folders, posterboard, whatever is slightly thicker than paper works.

i just made a spiderman shirt for my friend. ill post pics tomorow.

that chuck berry stencil was amazing. nice job. :thumb:

im cant really think of another stencil to make. i was going to do a ramones stencil but the only one i can find is the eagle, and personally i hate that thing. None of the songs are very good to make in to a stencil its self. i was thinkin bout a shirt with a pole and street sign that has 53rd & 3rd. thats sounds like a ****ty idea though. what do you guys think?

o also on side note, not DIY, i went to a concert saturday(29) and the ringing hasnt faded like it normally does, do u think it permanent?? im startin to get kinda worried.

The show wasnt good if your ears don't ring. Seriously though, my ears don't stop ringing until about a week after the show usually.

[plebeian scum]

Someone, quick, suggest a natural diy herbal remedy for ringing ears!

I heartily endorse the freezer paper method of making stencils. I did quite a few patches a couple nights ago, and it works real well. The only downside I can see about it is that it's a one shot deal. Other than that, though, it's great - the stencils are transparent, easy to cut, and they don't leak.

Does anyone here do bike work? I recently bought an old Peugeot (circa 1977) and have been fixing it up. I've gotten it to a point where I'm real happy with it, and I've only spent about 75 $ total. Everything runs smoothly, it looks pretty sharp, and I can keep up with those stupid spandex bike jocks no problem.

[sr800bkBassist]

The show wasnt good if your ears don't ring. Seriously though, my ears don't stop ringing until about a weel after the show usually.
that's usually a sign that your hearing won't last you past the age of 30.

[Iron Bug]

I am totally fine with that.

[plebeian scum]

Hm, I just got an idea.

With using freezer paper, you don't need to move the stencil until after the paint dries. So, you could do a stencil in white over a black background, and then do another color over than. It would make the stenciled design really pop out. Screen printers freqently do that with dark-colored shirts.

Now I'm excited -- I want to try it.

[djs]

first time wandering into the punk forums (usually stick to d&p or pwni) and found this thread pretty sweet, cause i've done a few stencils in the past

here's a pretty basic one, just Thought Riot printed on a hooded sweatshirt:

and stencil for it

and this one isn't really punk related, but it's a shirt i did for someone in california after arnold got elected. underneath the picture i put "The Governator"

How come? What was wrong?
Well when it rasterizes the image, the pixels instead become very large circles. From a distance it looks fine, but upclose (like when cutting a stencil) it's bad. It takes away a lot of the detail.

But I'm probably going to give it a few more tries.

How much money do you save making your own shirts and stuff? Where is a good place to get the supplies?

I'm going to make that into a t-shirt. I probably won't use stencils, just one of those iron-on sheets. They're crappy, but I don't want to mess with the design.

How much money do you save making your own shirts and stuff? Where is a good place to get the supplies?

it really depends. paint is normally 3$ so times that my how much paint you buy. Also shirts and brushes. i dont know how much that stuff is cause i found that around the house. Since band shirts are 20$ +/- ur saving a good 15$.

now if you steal the paint and shirts then your saving more. if you do that steal from Wal-Mart. that’s the general rule ive noticed here.

if you buy, buy from Joann’s or Michaels for paint and brushes. dont go to the paint section look around in the kids section its usually there. Target has the 10 shirts in a bundle type deal i think.

/me rasterbates every photo i have, using up a hell of a lot of paper

[coheneran]

Why?!

stealing from Michaels tends to be easier than Walmart. they have no cameras, no security, no beeping things at the doors.

and also you can make big $$$ at Michaels by finding a receipt, stealing the items listed on the receipt, and bringing those items in with the receipt and returning it all.

Damn good idea.

double sided tape or use a glue stick right before putting it in so its stuck on but not perminantly.

i think the thing is most people that do things DIY don't even have any money in the first place :p.

[the-UK-ska-scene]

I like the tape one a lot.

Thanks a lot, I sort of half traced that then went over it in sharpie, then coloured it in with these fabric crayons. Yeah I was really bored one night.

Ah awesome glad you like them :thumb: I really really do. Also it's awesome he saw Lightyear, I did too and they were just as fun as back in the day!

By DYI shirts doesn't that take money from the bands?

[Flagjacket]

Do you download music?

[mullets suk]

What do you do with the money you save from DIY?

i normally end up buying cds and stuff for drums, right now im saving up for a bass. what else would i spend it on??

By DYI shirts doesn't that take money from the bands?

not really cause most of the shirts, i make anyways, are of bands that dont have shirts. i also dont think a band makin 20 cents from a shirt is really goin to give a crap.

Defiance, Ohio put all their songs they've ever recorded up for download for free on their site.

if a band is truely punk, they shouldn't care if you buy things from them.

Unfortunately, not every band can survive like that. I truly respect the bands that do do that though even if I don't necessarily enjoy their music.

If you wanna stay punk, you gotta stay poor!

[sr800bkBassist]

well, you could get a job.

[Jon]

1) werd, I'm too poor to be able to afford clothes if I don't make them
2) I don't give a ****, most of the shirts I make are of bands that I can't buy a shirt from.
3) Most proper punks are aesthetically unemployable, I don't know about you, but I would hire people with green liberty spikes if I was the manager of Harrods..

[asdf]

I don't look like a punk, but I'm picky about where I work. I want to enjoy my job.

So until then, I sell buttons and tie-dye. Sometimes stenciled things too. I enjoy making them, I enjoy selling them. It all works out.

[sr800bkBassist]

i'm picky too. i'd probably only ever work at maybe a small coffee shop, CD store, or bookstore.
i also have problems looking "presentable" sometimes, but only because i often let my beard grow too long and have messy hair.

but then again, i never say i don't care about not getting more money from music :p. i had no problem with the concept of my last band making decent $$$ off CD sales.

but when a band acts like they're too "punK' for the corporate lifestyle blah blah blah, i help them along by downloading everything off Limewire and such ;).

[BostonBound988]

if bands had "jobs" then they would never tour and you would never see them. so if their band isnt making them money then they would just be playing locally

bands make all of their money off of shirts and other type of merch...they dont make much at all from cd sales and shows

[sr800bkBassist]

i know plenty of bands who tour for weeks at a time and still have jobs.

Justin why don't you please make a updates section with the new stencils int hem, so that we don't need to search for the new ones. I mean, a folder where you put allt he new stencils untilt he next update or something.

The Minutemen had jobs and they toured almost all the time. They were also pretty poor. I think D. Boon was a mechanic.

i was thinking of posting a list but i didnt want the update text to look to crappy. this server wont let me upload files into a subfolder and have a default index page for that folder like the old server. maybe after work today ill post a list, even if its a txt file.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

i'd love an adolescents stencil.

[Jon]

I was half joking about the job thing; I live in London so rent is at least £60/week, unless you find a squat, but its more like £80-120. Then Guinness (or food, take your pick), travel, rehearsal rooms etc, you do actually need a job. I wish I could make a living from charging Japanese tourists for photos, but I can't.


edit: oh ****, I completely forgot about the protest, sorry Eran :(

[coheneran]

Haha Jon, it's cool, you didn't miss anything. Whoever picked the target forgot to check if it's still there. We were going to do something to an Israeli weapons company with a HQ in Bond Street, but it turns out they moved elsewhere two years ago after the last big protest. Go to the massive one on Saturday, it will be MUCH better.

I made 40$ from my "band" at one gig. I would've done the gig for free, but money is good too.

Then again, we're not a punk band, so it doesn't matter too much.

[Converge#12]

This is a serious question. What the hell is that behind the "ME!" in the second stencil down? http://stencilpunks.mattrunningnaked.com/img_folkgypsy.html

[conniption]

It might be a building or something, it kinda looks it.

[iam2000pounds]

A bus or building maybe?

[sr800bkBassist]

it's the front of a car.

[Flagjacket]

Yeah it's supposed to be the front of a van.

The Armageddon or whatever they called there old van that crashed.

it didnt look like the van so i just used the lettering to make a patch ill post it when i can get my camera.

I finally got around to fixing my dads old road bike. It's a pretty good bike and it's in really good condition for a bike thats been sitting around in the rain for 3 years.

My friend also picked up a really good road bike as well, today for $50. So right now I'm working on them both and when my friend finishes work he'll hopefully come over and help out.

[POINTLESS5448]

i have a couple of good stencils im going to start making. one of them involves bond, james bond.

Also, if he puts a bird house or two and maybe a small bird feeder in the garden, it will attract birds who might take care of some of the bugs.

that shirt sounds funny but Barker ****ing owns Trebek. And now that Trebek has lost his magical facial hair he will be killed if he challenges the pimpness of Barker
