i just noticed that i didnt cut a little box on the right side. it just did it so its actually symetrical(sp?) now.


It looks pretty sweet. And for the box, did you mean above the right one's hand?

[POINTLESS5448]

yeah. i actually noticed when i was checking to see if the link worked on my first post.

Sucks to find out the hard way.
Try Acetone, it might help with getting the paint off, not sure if it will be usable afterwards, though.

rhymesayers stencil.

that stencil looks great, never heard of them though, what type of band are they?

[Jon]

If you use a razor that's meant for girls it's almost impossible to get cut or have bad razorburn. Just be sure to use shaving cream, too.
That isn't the problem, by risk I meant getting a girl who doesn't like it :p

But chest hair = nono, feel so much sexier without it :greddy:

I need to either buy some women's razors, or get my beautician friend to epilate it, I'm sick of razor burn.

yeah. i dont really care though i just bought a smaller foam roller and a bunch of replacement foam things. i made a llama king shirt for my friend white on a black shirt and it came out ok ill post pictures of it later. its the first white on black shirt ive ever done so im pretty happy with it. i used a big *** wool roller so it didnt come out as even as i would have liked but its pretty sweet regardless.

that stencil looks great, never heard of them though, what type of band are they?
theyre a record label with bands such as: atmosphere, brother ali, and p.o.s. theyre all rappers but they all kick ***.

[holy_roller99]

i am thinkign of making a GBH patch for city baby attacked by rats. i am going to start the design and post it soon.

[Jon]

I did my GBH thing on my jeans freehand, it was too simple to justify stencilling.

[holy_roller99]

mine is going to be a more complicated back patch.

[Jon]

fair, I just wrote 'GBH' in the right typeface.

[POINTLESS5448]

so,

its cold as **** at my school, and im not paying $60 for a school sweatshirt that ill only wear at school. i traced my friends soccer sweater and bought a plain grey sweater for $6 and stenciled it up.
heres what my friends looks like (the real one):

so for homecoming week at school i made a flag for seniors and it was the first time that i ever did anything white on black. the picture is from my phone which is why it looks double.
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d172/pointless5448/1001061602.jpg
and today i did the llama king shirt which was my first white on black shirt.
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d172/pointless5448/IMG_0555.jpg
i used a tremendous wool roller which is why i think it didnt come out that well but i got a small foam roller today. tomorow ill be testing it out with this stencil:

You guys can share. But we'll be expecting an heir. And nudz of the heir-making deed.:naughty:

I haven't made any patches or anything in so long, I don't have any paint. And no money to buy some. It sucks man.

[FunknPunk]

any tips for taking jeans in? (making them tighter)

i bought a pair of "mission blues" (never heard of it) at a pawn shop to benefit a local organization, but they're wicked big, like i could fit a leg twice my size in it. do i just turn them inside out, measure, and sew straight then cut the excess off? or is it more comlicated? How does one do the.. groinular area? just take it up to the crotch seam?

damn i need to learn more about this stuff.. but when i google it i just get girls jeans and "tips on how to make your thighs look slimmer". not exactly what i was looking for...

anyway, yeah any help would be appreciated.
peace guys

[POINTLESS5448]

hahha. i dont know much about jeans but shirts shrink in the wash. try that?

tis down south aswell. ****in lame.

[Jon]

Whats Holister?

I keep meaning to tattoo myself again (because the ink's faded) but I'm too lazy :(

The other day I bought some new scalpel blades for college and I was playing around with them trying to get them into my knife and eventually I looked at my fingers and went "oh ****, I scarificated 'LAMF' onto my knuckles". It was totally unintentional. lol.

[mullets suk]

Holister? im not familiar with that name, nor have a seen anyone with that hair.

and it wasnt tiny i would say it was about 6in +/- an inch.

[(r)evolution]

Whats Holister?

it's extremely trendy, overpriced beach gear that upper class kids wear even when they live miles from the beach. Holister kid would wear, khaki shorts, flip-flops, polo shirt, sun glasses. Just a complete douche bag.

i live in a town called hollister...
no where near a beach
we're not super trendy
we have hicks
rodeos, fairs, parades and all
the bird on the hollister shirts is on our dumpsters..


..but we do have those people who insist on dressing like that...

[Flagjacket]

Guys you know who are douchebags.

People who judge you on what you wear.

[asdf]

It's human nature to judge people on first glance.

It's stupid, but you can't really stop it.

What a bunch of ****in' humans.

[(r)evolution]

i call them douchebags cause the vast majority of them ARE douchebags thus i lump them into the douchebag category. If a hollister kid isn't a douchebag then great, i'd love to be proved wrong. But my prejudice still remains.

[Flagjacket]

Prejudice is gay.

not really, i have a prejudice against nazis, murderers, rapists, politicians etc etc

Yeah you can. It's human nature to want to kill people you don't like, but we've managed to stop that. To an extent.

[Jon]

I'm sorry but if you don't want to take an AK to every one of these ...I cannot even think of strong enough a swear word... you are not human.

Lol Jon, one extremist in a protest doesn't represent it. Yesterday there was a guy comparing Israel, the US and the UK to the Nazis, doesn't mean we all thought it was true. Do you see anyone else shouting "Bomb Denmark so we can take their wives as war booty"? No, it's just one idiot with everyone else looking at him strange. You keep doing this, you find the worst image you can and you stereotype everyone you don't like to that image.

I'm suprised that there was only one person vaguely sensible in that thread, I thought the Opposing Views forum would contain people with opposing views.

edit: but Stormfront still kicks *** for its wealth of self defence topics and such, they should really require verification that you're not Jewish before you read that stuff.

[coheneran]

Jesus Christ Jon, that's a ****ing neo-Nazi website. Why don't you start quoting Skrewdriver lyrics and handing out copies of The Believer while you're at it? I can prove to you, through logic AND through common sense, that racism and nationalism are stupid. You're really on the verge of self-hating idiocy here.

[Jon]

I'm not racist though, and I linked you to that thread to prove how far from being WN I am.

That, and my Aunt is the exec director of the Anne Frank Trust, tolerance runs in my blood or something.

edit: screenprinting.

if I wanna do a t-shirt i'll do it with acetate, yeah? then what? my teacher was going on about some machine thing, and some reason why I should only do one colour? its ages till the next lesson and so I wanna get the stencil done before class, if its possible - whats the machine thingy and how does it differ to normal silkscreening with stencils made from newsprint?

[coheneran]

When I did it with my friend, we photocopied the image onto acetate (I think it sounds better pronounced ***-eh-tight) and then put it on the screen with a very bright like shining into it, to expose it onto the screen (there may have been a chemical involved, can't remember, was more concentrating on rolling the next joint than learning anything).

[Jon]

Are you australian or something =/

Why do you have to expose it and stuff? Surely you can just snip out the bits to show, as per usual?

[coheneran]

Are you australian or something =/

Why do you have to expose it and stuff? Surely you can just snip out the bits to show, as per usual?

But exposing it allows you to have islands without needing bridges etc., and it lets you have waaaaay more details, down to the pixel.

[Jon]

oic, makes sense sort of i guess

[Danger Bird]

What bin Laden did isn't half as bad as what the US has been doing to the Middle East for the last 60 years. Not to mention the rest of the West.

Not that I'm defending bin Laden, mind you, in fact I don't believe in violence no matter what the reason. But at the very least, you at least have to concede that these people have a reason to be so upset. It's not because they hate our freedom. Wait, what thread is this again?

[Jon]

This is DIY, I think its a sign for us to build our own mortars, sew together camo trousers and go to the local radical mosque.

There are two main methods with silkscreening: One is where you cover a screen with light-sensitive emulsion, and then expose it against a positive image; the other involves adhering a negative image that's water soluable to the screen.

The first method is the most professional, but it takes more equipment (emulsion, scoop coat, plus an exposure unit & wash out stand if you wanna get fancy). I guessing you're doing the second method, which is simpler -- I don't remember if the water-soluble stuff is called acetate but it might be. the stuff I'm thinking of is green. But yeah, if you know what to do, definetely cut out the stencil. Cause then you'll actually be able to make the screen next class.

You want one color because it's simpler. You only need one screen, and you don't need to worry about registering the image and making sure everything lines up. Also with multiple colors you'd preferably have a carosol stand, which, again, is more complex and expensive.

Last night I made a Limp Wrist shirt and stenciled some folk punk designs onto a hoodie. Big Defiance Ohio logo across the back, and Ghost Mice plus Mischief Brew on the front pockets. Plus a logo of two figures holding hands in the shape of a heart on the left chest. I think it's for riot folk. I've got a bucnh of silkscreening projects lined up for when I have a few free days. The first thing's going to be a Witch Hunt peace sign backpatch/shirt.

I don't think either of them is what we did =/

Here are the images.

First one - considering its my first silkscreening, its way too complicated and I screwed up the stencil many times I'm quite proud of it.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/jondz3003/print001.jpg

Second one, half done. Got the black stencil done but didn't have time to print it.

will be
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/jondz3003/lamf1.jpg

We made stencils out of newsprint (basically really thin paper, A2 size) as you do, held them to the bottom of the silkscreen, put a blank piece of paper underneath, put in on top and wiped it across =/

The other thing I'm thinking about is the huge machine on the other side of the room, something to do with chemicals. Acetate is the transparency stuff you use on overhead projectors =/

Yeah, I think I'm gonna still the first one from you, but not do the harmonica,

[coheneran]

Really? I reckon the harmonica is essential to the Dylan look. Particularly if you want people to recognise it. Here's the reaction to that pic from someone who doesn't know it's supposed to be Dylan:

"Who's that? Pete Doherty? A harmonica? Ohhhh, it's Dylan isn't it?"

Yeah, I think I'm gonna add some text though. On the top it'll say BOB and then on the bottom it'll say DYLAN.

That looks pretty good.

[Jon]

This should take me until Christmas to screenprint :eek:

I want to do it in some quantity, I can't think of the best way to do it. Hmm.

I'm gonna go see my print teacher in a minute.

If you manage to pull that off, that'd be bad ****ing a'ss! It's rediculously tough to print any sort of detail, let alone in different colors. I've tried, and failed pretty miserably. But good luck! Post pictures on progress.

How stupid of me would it be to pierce my own septum without owning proper piercing needles, just kinda wing the whole thing?

That is all

[Positively Rob]

Good idea - Get it done, spend the cash.

Bad idea - DIY it with improper materials.

Thats just my oppinion :wave:

when it comes to piercing, if you mess up you can be really screwed for life.

when you say septum what do you mean by that? like the noise, tounge, or eyelid septum?

[Jon]

Septum would be one thing I wouldn't pierce myself.

Ear lobes are fine, I've done them with rusty safety pins many a time, I wouldn't rule out nipple or eyebrow for at home as well, but septum is just asking for trouble

[plebeian scum]

This is kind a stupid question, but how do people do multicolored stencils. Does t work to spray the second layer over the first while it's still wet?

[asdf]

No, it's best to wait for the paint to dry. Get something that's quick drying.

[POINTLESS5448]

its better to make a 2 layered stencil. if you just spray over it it wont work if the top color is lighter than the first color.

[Converge#12]

Depending on what you made your stencil out of you can always cover the part you dont want that color with blue painters tape.

[coheneran]

So, I got a job involving ringing people up and asking them to buy a kitchen (well, that's it really). My boss sucks, how do I stick it to "tha man" without getting fired and/or in trouble?

Mess with his car or his coffee or his jacket. Something that he owns but leaves behind places. This way you can get back at him without being noticed and therefore you won't loose your job. Make sure no cameras are around the thing you are messing with, obviously.

I don't wanna hurt my boss, I just want to feel that I am doing the punkrock thing, for my own self-satisfaction. Maybe I'll just give him the finger under the table...

[Eliminator]

put some laxative in his coffee

My sister pierced her own septum and it's totally fine and it never got infected or anything like that.

my friend let his gf do his. she did it wrong and it looks terribly placed.
I mean, he didnt die or anything. but if you put it in wrong, it just looks dumb.

[Converge#12]

I didnt imply hurting him. you could slip him laxitives or just do something that's very inconvenient but not something obvious.
Edit: someone got to the laxitives idea before me...

[bigblondeafro87]

steal anything not bolted down, piss on thr floor in the bathroom na dput up a wet floor sign, contantly pocket his only pen, strategically place gum in high traffic areas, bring bags of dirt or sand and dump them when no one is looking, soak down the toilet paper with febreeze or other air fresheners, cover his doorknob in cooking oil or WD40. Just a couple of the things I've done at my work or school that really pisses people off

[Jon]

Eran was so hating calling everyone Sir or Madame at work today :lol:

Seriously though, there are some times when you need to sit down and shut up with your lame politics; its only 12 hours a week, you're getting paid above minimum wage for it, and it was stupidly easy to 'get' the job.

They're doing you a favour man, not everything has to revolve around fight the power.

If you want to be cool then go and spray ACAB over Barnet police station before you classes at college.

[asdf]

You can't be forced into employment. It's a choice.

Man, it would be awesome if I chould just live off my tie-dye sales for the rest of my life.

[Jon]

Exactly, you chose to go apply for that job - nay, you actually asked me for the details, the guys are doing you a favour by giving it to you without so much as asking your name, just do it.

[coheneran]

I saw a quote recently, possibly it was Martin Luther King, that said something very wise and true about work in our society. I just can't remember it. "If you give a man a choice, to work or die," then something about coercion. Not sure. Either way, I'm not working, I'm making money. Work is about creation. This job is so debasing, to me, not because of having a boss (the bosses aren't so bad, they're pretty much just slightly older than all the workers and get paid another fifty pence an hour), or any other "punk" reason, it's debasing because what we are doing is not helping anyone, anywhere, in a significant way.

I don't know what ACAB means Jonnie, but I'm not writing it on cops stations. Cops have to stand enough ****ing bullshit from their bosses (eg. they're constantly being promised raises which never appear, while the MPs vote to give themselves a raise, and the cops aren't allowed to strike or have a union), they don't need some punkarse kid consolidating the belief that what they are doing is right.

And stop shouting about how I'm complaining I don't like this job. I'm not complaining, I just wanted to make the post DIY-based, instead of just posting "I got a job". It got some funny ideas, either way.

[Flagjacket]

Eran where do you work? and I thought anarchists don't work?

FYI, ACAB means All Cops Are Bastards


And I thought Anarchists were all for the working-class. Or is that just Anarcho-Syndicalism? You got no work ethic. You're lucky to be making above minimum wage. I'm working for minimum wage and it's getting me nowhere. Not that I'm complaining because I like having a job.

I have anarcho syndicalist leanings(I only say that because there is so much for me to learn) and I have a job that pays well above minimum wage. I do have a problem with my place of work but I do consolodate by stealing necessities for DIY and also food.

[bigblondeafro87]

I've got a job, but the only reason is to fund my music, which of course is a very expensive hobby. By the end of the winter I think I'll move on, or just severely cut back on my hours becuase I need more free time for practicing bass, band rehearsals, shows, and of course hanging out with my friends. :chug:

[Burger Bike]

I can show you how to make some cool assed bongs.

Anyway - Making a wallet out of duct tape and fixing my 1.3 year old shoes with duct tape was genius. You should use it for anything, no joke.

[plebeian scum]

With the multicolored stencil thing, how do stencil graffitists do their work with multiple colors? Do they come back later and spray the other colors? Seems risky not to do it all at once.

Right now I'm working on some huge flags for an antiwar protest. Me and some friends are also going to mass-produce some stencil shirts for our group. We got a bunch of black tshirts for $2.65 each.

[Aus Rotten]

BWAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJA! Never have I laughed so hard over a post before. Ace, ace!

[coheneran]

Eran where do you work? and I thought anarchists don't work?

I work in a call centre for Bracken Bay Kitchens Design. Today was alright, I only got two bytes towards the end of the shift and the boss kept giving me these little pep talks that went something like Hint Of Getting Fired > Don't Wanna Fire You > You Need More Bytes > No Bytes From You Means Trouble For Me > I Like You Eran, Please Get More Bytes > I Believe In You, Now Get Back To Work. It was funny. Me last byte, the guy who answered the phone finished off the last sentence in my script for me, turns out he works there as well, so I had a short conversation with him, asked him what the catch is (well, we're offering free kitchens, there must be a catch), and in the end he offered to give me a byte, so that I get the 8 quid. Real nice guy, forgot to ask his name.

Anarchists do work Kevin, it's kinda important for us not to bum off of other people's labour (like the bosses do:p).

[Jon]

1) Where did you go? I saw you for like 5 seconds at the beginning of my shift but then you disappeared
2) You don't get £8 for bytes, you get £8 for every byte that converts into an immediate appointment.
3) I didn't get anything for 2 hours today, then 2 bytes in a few minutes, of which 1 converted to an Imm, so I got my £8.

Compared with the guys sitting next to me who each got >10 bytes, but no bonus because no Imms.

Hehhe

[coheneran]

1) Where did you go? I saw you for like 5 seconds at the beginning of my shift but then you disappeared

I worked a morning shift and I thought I'm working two, but they said I'm not experienced enough, so I got the shift off, and went home. 3 shifts this week, and no deduction.:D

2) You don't get £8 for bytes, you get £8 for every byte that converts into an immediate appointment.
3) I didn't get anything for 2 hours today, then 2 bytes in a few minutes, of which 1 converted to an Imm, so I got my £8.

Cool, nice one. Anything else I should know? When do we get paid?

Compared with the guys sitting next to me who each got >10 bytes, but no bonus because no Imms.

Hehhe

Lol, some of those people are like ****in' car salesmen.

[Jon]

lol, jokes.

I think we get paid next week?

Its insane, cos its luck of the draw, but you feel so bad when you don't get any bytes.

[coheneran]

I'm trying not to care so much, I'm not very good at it, never was that great at manipulating people. I just hope I don't get sacked when they realise that it's not just because I'm new that I suck at this. Until then, £90+ a week is plenty of money to be able to afford new King Blues singles and drugs.

[Flagjacket]

You work at a kitchen designer? Like Queer Eye?

[mullets suk]

whats all these bytes and Imm's? at first i thought you where talking about computers or something.

also im making this shirt for my dad for Halloween, and a Rambo shirt for a friend. and hopefully ill get this adicts shirt ive been meaning to do for a while done.

[Jon]

Byte is just what its called when you get through your script with a favourable outcome and are allowed to pass your call through to the sales department, dunno why its called that, don't care.

Imms are Immediate Appointments or something, again I don't care what it is.

All I know that >bytes = not get fired
>imms = bonuses.

[Danger Bird]

I may have posted this a while ago, I don't remember, but here's how to make a pipe out of an apple. The juice has a good filtering effect and it makes your weed taste like apples.

Oh and here's the hookah I made:

[Jon]

that hookah is cool dude.

i've only used mine a handful of times in the year or so i've had it, its such a pain to light it.

i really need some better charcoal.

[coheneran]

You bastard you didn't tell me you have a hookah! I love them, it's basically what me and my friends do in Israel when we meet up; go find a nice place to sit, preferably with a view of something purty, light up and pass the time with idle and/or witty banter, like on QC but without so many chicks or lack of hookahs.

Led-Zep, where did you get the cork, pipes, tubing and bowl from?

[Jon]

of course I have one!

true to form, its from turkey not israel

[bigblondeafro87]

I think I'm using a hookah for the first time at a party tomorrow. If its good, I'll make sure to build one and tell you guys about it.

[World Burns To Death]

Hookahs are stupid. nothing lamer than driving down a main street here and seeing a bunch of scene kids sitting at a middle eastern place smoking hookah.

[bigblondeafro87]

Whats so stupid about a hookah? It gets you high right? :smoke:

I think that would look cooler if the sides were reversed, actually. The raised fist on the back would be pretty neat. Aside from that, the shirt looks really good. Nice job.

[Burger Bike]

I have a 6 foot hookah in my room, you can only tell it's a hookah when I take the light shade off of it... It just looks like a big light stand. Parents have never asked what it is, 4 foot hoses, 3 hoses. Get 3 kings charcoal, lights in about a minute.

I reccomend Al Fakher or Pharaoh's tobacco

[coheneran]

Whats so stupid about a hookah? It gets you high right? :smoke:

Only if you mix ganja with the tobacco, but usually it's just tobacco that tastes nice.

Those faux-Middle-eastern cafe places that rent hookahs are terrible, my friends always insist on going to one in Piccadilly Circus. I've never rented a hookah, or heard of a rented hookah, that was cheap. This place in Piccadilly that they think is so awesome and "chic" charges £12 a go, and you have to buy a drink each, and of course the drink prices are hiked up, so by the end of the hour you've collectively paid about £20 for one hookah. It's sad.

[Jon]

hahahahhahaha

dar marrakesh

and the one in hampstead

does anything spell out NW London Jew like the clientelle at those places?

Led-Zep, where did you get the cork, pipes, tubing and bowl from?

Mostly Goodwill, but the pipes and tubes were at the harware store. The bowl is actually like a weird funnel used to pour wine into bottles. I guess it's not truely a hookah since it doesn't use charcoal, it's more of a multi-user bong.

[Jon]

dude just make it so it uses charcoal!

just get some tin foil over the top of the bowl, poke holes in it...

I don't use foil with mine actually, too much effort and I like ash in my hookah water :upset:

[asdf]

Well, my brother's birthday is on monday, and since we're going to see him this weekend, I decided to make him a Syd Barrett shirt:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/Stencils/sydbarrett.jpg

Truthfully, I always wanted to stencil the album cover of Opel, but since I don't really listen to Syd Barrett, this gave me a reason.

[Rise Me Up]

I don't know who Syd Barrett is but that looks really good.

[Jon]

Are you joking?

[asdf]

I don't know who Syd Barrett is but that looks really good.
He was originally in Pink Floyd, but before their really major success he was kicked out because he was getting so crazy. After that he lived in his basement and rarely left, and recorded some really crazy albums. My brother thought he was awesome, and is sad that he died this year.

[POINTLESS5448]

ok so brett (BCT) is probably the most brilliant person alive.
yesterday he made a stencil. a big one. full sized poster board big. what is it of you ask?
mario doing a kegstand with a koopatroopa holding him up.
genius?
i think so.

[World Burns To Death]

PIX. THIS IS GENIUSs

[mullets suk]

pics when its done, thats goin to be awesome.

also does anyone know how to get beer smell out of canvas type cloth (that found on pf flyers/ converse. some one said itll come out by its self. but ive washed it with soap and water and the smell is still there.

[POINTLESS5448]

whenever i spill beer on myself i just throw whatever it is in the wash and it comes out.

[Flagjacket]

I swear ASDF is going to level up into Shirt Witch and will be able to use her hand to conjure silk screened ****.

[mullets suk]

[Danger Bird]

This is my friend Guzey. It came out a lot better than when I sprayed it onto my PE shirt.

I've decided to start selling these, because everybody has commented on how much they want one. It'll be 5 bucks a shirt, 2 dollars if they supply their own shirt to spray on. That buys a lot of pot.

how much do you get shirts for

[mullets suk]

I stenciled my friends name on the back of his cross country shirt. it was P.Diss. anyways got $2. i thought i was a little over price. but then again i hate doing letters.

[Ghostfire3]

I got $2 for a shirt I made for a friend. I actually didn't even want the money but my friend made me take it.

[asdf]

A friend used to steal paint for me so that I would make stuff for her.

Finally one day I said "you know this DIY thing... I guess the point of it is to do it yourself." She said "oh, never thought of it that way" and never really bothered me again.

Well, I sure don't know how to make one. And making a thread for the subject would be stupid now wouldn't it? And once I get a jacket I'd be able to test out my DIY skills.

[World Burns To Death]

yes you can
No, it's impossible. They don't sell leather.

[Flagjacket]

Yeah I know what Justin is talking about. The leather that they do have at thrift stores is like, womens with the belts or ones that say HARELY DAVIDSON everywhere.

[Flagjacket]

I guess the trade off for getting cheap leather is having to live in Canada and know Jess...

The print came out pretty good, but you have to watch out for the over-spray, it just ruins the shirt. Next time, put newspaper anywhere that's not going to be painted on.

[Jon]

so you had no luck finding one at thrift stores and stuff? if you really look you can get a quality used leather jacket for under 40 bucks.
No you can't, even the cheapest of cheap charity and vintage shops around here have leather jackets for £40-£80, no less, ever.

Saying that, I got my white fringed cowboy jacket for £10, and my black trenchcoat for £10, but they're not very thick leather, and I was referring to biker jackets.

Saying that, Eran, if you ever see a leather biker jacket in a charity shop in my sizeish (34 chest maybe?) please tell me.

edit: to the guy that asked: leatherup.com if you're american.

So geniuses, how do you DIY a half-stack, tuner, wireless unit, three sets of 9-42s and a pair of boots?

Be wicked punx and steal it from bowie. Or just your local guitar center.

[Rise Me Up]

Jono, that's pretty good for your first. The eyes are a little crooked, but I'd wear it.

You'd wear anything you slut!

I discovered an amazing discover that could revolutionise the stencilling world: Linoleum. Seriously, it's easy to cut, you can get shitloads of it in skips for free, and it rolls up neatly, so you can cut a massive stencil, spray it, roll it up and leggit all within 60 seconds.

[POINTLESS5448]

i made a fat suit for halloween. its hot as **** in here.

[Flagjacket]

I am not participating in Halloween this year. It's too dangerous to be out at night where I live.

[Danger Bird]

I'm sick of halloween. I've been too old to trick or treat for a while, but this year I'm not even going to smoke weed at the cemetary.

By the way, can you guys actually tell what this is supposed to be?

It took me a little while to figure it out but I think it's a coffin with an American flag over it, right?

[POINTLESS5448]

yeah its a coffin. i saw it right away.

[Danger Bird]

Okay, cool. I might invert the stripes and see how it looks that way.

[Jon]

If you can't see what a stencil is right away then its obviously pointless.

[Danger Bird]

Is this easier to see? Maybe if I did the whole coffin outline...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/BPMead007/DIY/Image4.jpg

[Jon]

Its easier to see, but only because we know what it is.

Do it two colours, it will be 100x better and not too much harder.

[Danger Bird]

How would I design the stencil that way? I'm familiar with the concept, I just can't visualize how I would make each layer.

[Jon]

Basically,
http://i12.tinypic.com/2iqyctw.jpg

One stencil of just the red, then either:
1) do a screen with the blue
2) a stencil of the whole quadrilateral area of the blue, and stencils of the stars on top.

[faith and fiction]

I'm making some ink for a Kiwi Mop this weekend. Pretty simple but I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

[Jon]

I'm really lame and I like to plan out things before I make them, so here's my design for my leather :)

I'll make it in the next few weeks.

Probably won't use those badges either, but yeah.

I don't know why I suddenly had such a lack of ideas.

[Positively Rob]

You should've masked off around it, it would look better =\

[POINTLESS5448]

first of all there was alot of drinking cheap liquor and second of all masking it off around it isnt marks steez.

[Jon]

No, you really, really should have masked off around it, it would look 400x better.
