Yeah, that splatter sucks. I can probaby get rid of it, tho. Or maybe, since the soles are kind of split into three sections (if you're looking from the side), I could do green, yellow, and red around the whole shoe.

[QUOTE=Led-ZeppelinIV]Okay, here's the deal with my shoes:

After some convincing, my mom moved her car. I cut the stencil out on posterboard, stuffed my shoe with newspaper, taped on the stencil, and sprayed. A few hours later, when the paint's dry, I come back to find that I used way too much spraypaint, way to close to the stencil, so it was just a big runny mess, with the original logo still barely visible. So I got this idea to just keep that big runny mess there and trace over the original logo in black marker. So I did that, and now it actually looks great and probably actually cooler and more original than just the logo would have been. Isn't it great when things work out?

Eventually I'll borrow some coloured sharpies from my friend and do the toe in rasta colours.[/QUOTE]

And why is that album still in the plastic?

To keep it nice. I slit it down the side so I could get the record out.

[QUOTE=Led-ZeppelinIV]From a paint store. Why?[/QUOTE]


It's cool looking and I've never seen any neon spray paint at SEARS or anywhere else that I get mine from.

Oh, yeah, it's this fluorescent paint from a company called Rustoleum.

Nice? For what??? Do you mix Kool-Aid on your turntable or something?

I plan on keeping my records for a long time. Keeping the shrink on them will just help keep the jacket from wearing. My dad does that with all his records so I just sort of do it. Unless it's the kind of jacket the folds out.

[QUOTE=Crack-Rock-Steady]Try a craft store. I recall seeing them in a place called Jo-Ann Fabrics by me.[/QUOTE]

Jo-Ann's is a wonderful craft store. I've gotten a lot more there than Michael's

[QUOTE=Led-ZeppelinIV]To keep it nice. I slit it down the side so I could get the record out.[/QUOTE]

I do the same with my records. Keeps the jackets from getting scratched or torn.

Yeah, Jo-Ann Fabrics is the ****. That's where I get all my DIY stuff.

Yeah I'll look Jo-Ann Fabrics up on monday. And for most of my records I also leave them in some sort of plastic cover just so the cover stays in a decent condition.

Jo-Ann is great for craft stuff.

Always makes me giggle to hear punks going "Jo-Ann's fabrics is a wonderful store" "yeah, Joe-Ann's is the sh[I]i[/I]t"

I am by no means a punk.

Damn them. Also, what do you use to make stencils? Paint would be waaaay to hard to draw stuff with.




P.S. Does anyone know any sites that have tutorials on how to make clothes from scratch? I really want to make my own pants and shirts and shi

Its pretty easy, That stencil took all of 5 minutes to make. I got their logo from their site and turned it black (didn't have to do any cutting because its already stencil-able) then you have to get stencil fonts, there are some at this site [url]http://www.stencilrevolution.com/resources/[/url]

I used photoshop to make it.

I just noticed some stenciled graffiti around my neighborhood that I never noticed before.

And I gotta say... I'm a better stenciler than them :cool:

kmart has a bunch of neon colours...

To make your own stuff from scratch you need to go to Jo-Ann's or whatever and buy a pattern. They'll help you.

But, I'd advise against it. I made jeans and it tooks like 10 hours and they're uncomfortable as hell. Plus, you'll never find a pattern that actually looks like just a regular pair of jeans. In conclusion, it is very hard to make something worth having. VERY.

But then again, I might just try to make a t-shirt sometime. That shouldn't be too bad.

Plus the *** it too low and the front is too high, maybe because I didn't follow the pattern perfectly. Trashed 'em. But, be sure to put your own cool tags and **** in, [notice my fugazi tag, because I was in an Ian MacKaye phase]!

My mom made me pants from a jo-ann fabric pattern a long time ago, and they were fine. Then again, they had an elastic waist. They also had smiley faces all over them.

I was such a cool kid. :(

I just bought a sweater for 5 bucks although the "neck" (for lack of a better name) is a little long. I was going to just cut around the seams of that but then it will unravel. Any suggestions?

if you fold it on the inside and sew a seem around it then cut away the excess on the inside. if that makes sence. its what i did

That is an idea but I think that it is too bulky for that.

Couldn't you sew around where you're going to cut (with a sewing machine, not by hand) and then cut it? Like hemming a pant leg.


I found a site dedicated to pictures of graffiti in my city over the past 3 years or so. It's pretty interesting, quite a bit of it I hadn't seen before, and then some I know right where it's located. Some of the stencils are much better than what I could do, but not many.

They said they were looking for more pictures of graffiti around the city, so for laughs I sent them this classic:

What's the site? I'd like to look at some good (and bad) stencilled graffiti.

[url]http://www.equalized.org/grgraffiti/gallery/[/url]

There's also tags, and good graffiti. Most of the big stuff I haven't seen, and has probably been long since painted over.

Ah, cool. Thanks.

I just finished making a Bomb The Music Industry T-Shirt.

Post pictures if you can.

I am camera-less.

Gotcha, do you have the stencil you used?

Wow, No offense but Michigan's graffiti sucks compared to Los Angeles. That's the one thing about this place I'm proud of.

I hate taggers. What a bunch of lamerz. Actuall graffitti slogans and art is great, but 99% of graffitti (at least around here) is some indecipherable scrawl made by some middle-class white kid trying to be ghetto.
