[QUOTE=xxGumbyxx]Wow, No offense but Michigan's graffiti sucks compared to Los Angeles. That's the one thing about this place I'm proud of.[/QUOTE]
Oh, I know it's horrible. And anything somewhat impressive on that site, I haven't actually seen in real life.

Ann Harbor has better graffiti then where I live, but I'm sure Los Angeles has some great stuff.

[QUOTE=RIP Ian Curtis]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.[/QUOTE]
Very true. The best example I can give of that is:

I really hate taggers. I got arrested and accused of being a tagger. Out of all the lame taggers in my city, they catch someone who thinks tagging is stupid. Good job, cops.

I think I may make a Phil Ochs shirt and use this image: [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v151/PunkRockLoser666/philochs.jpg[/url] as a way to stencil it (It's him from the cover of All Thew News That's Fit to Sing but silloutted) and put Phil Och on the top. Not sure yet though.

I made my first stencil that I drew by hand, because I couldn't sleep last night.

It's based off a picture of Tom Waits on the back of Rain Dogs.

That's nicely done. I'd reconize it right away was Mr. Waits.

I'm thinking that if I use it, I should also stencil out some lyrics. Haven't decided which ones I want, though.

[QUOTE=DaveToopes]Gotcha, do you have the stencil you used?[/QUOTE]

I got it from Lukeh. [URL="http://photobucket.com/albums/d10/Lukehh/?action=BtMIstencil.jpg"]http://photobucket.com/albums/d10/Lukehh/?action=BtMIstencil.jpg[/URL]

asdf, you're really good at drawing.

Where would you go to get some clips to attach at butt flap to pants? I saw some in a fabric store once but they're no longer there.
Also, I'm going to be painting an Anthrax 'capitalism is cannibalism' logo on leather jacket, which looks like this:

it's kind of hard to see here, but it's line art with pen. I don't want to be painting a bunch of lines in, so if I paint a white background, how will a pen turn out? I have a fine pen with waterproof ink, but I still don't want to draw that whole thing out only to have it get ruined.

On a nother note, I made Sheep Farming in the Falklands patches, but gave them away before I could get pictures. They were cool though.

For your butt flap as you called it. Get a bondage belt, they have the hooks to put it on. But if you can't get enough cash for one(the come to about 40-30 bucks). If not, you can easliy just attach it to your pants with some thread. No more than 5minutes of sewwing.

For the leather. If your gonna do it on the back, spary paint it, put some sealer on it. Then when a extra fine Deco outline it, then with an fine Deco fill it in. Then put some more sealer. Should stay perfect.

I actually have leather airbrush paint so I'll hand paint it in. Does sealer help a lot to put on first? Also, what do I use to get paint off? It's acrylic and water based but I put sealer on over it.

Paint thiner. They say it ****s up your jacket. Never did anything to mine. So eh.
The sealer for mine made the paint stay on. Any for rain it helps.

{edit} My leather. Not that good of picture but eh. Lemme get some more...

Good luck with the Anthrax logo.

I've always wanted to go around stenciling that "h" in a circle from half-life.

Someone give me links to home-piercing and tattooing sites plzkthx.

I'm sort of in a sculpting/ceramics class (technically, I'm signed up for it, but really I'm in photography indiependent study, although I have the option of doing both) and I'm thinking of building my tall bike with the help of my friend during that class. They have a welder, and that way I'd have some guidance from a teacher. We tried explaining a tall bike to him, and he'd never heard of anything like that. We'll see what happens.

If not, I have plenty of people who want to help me over the summer.

I took ceramics last semester.

Hahah, why's that?

[quote=DaveToopes]I took ceramics last semester.[/quote]

I took it my senior year. I hated it and everything I made looked ****ty.

I loved it. I guess i was pretty good at it. I threw a good cylinder by the third day on the wheels, and got a 25/25 on my final 7 inch cylinder.

I've never done any kind of metalwork class, and only one term of woodwork, which I made half a toy car, and even that looked like a rectangular block with partially glued on circles.

Yeah I never been that good with making anything out of wood or metal. I was decent at making stuff out of yarn thought well I can make a decent looking scarf. But the teacher didn't like it so she gave me a F or a D can't remember.

Yeah, I'm not entirely up for making sculptures. Espcially right now, we're working on abstract pieces with clay... something I just cannot do.

Fortunately, I can instead work on photography.

And by work, I mean sit in the dark room and eat chips for an hour (unless I actually have film to develop)

Man do I ever love being an indiependent study kid.

Where can you buy fabric paint from?

[QUOTE=yourstruly]Where can you buy fabric paint from?[/QUOTE]

Any art supply store will have some. Any Wal-Mart, Target, etc. type place should have some too.

I suggest you buy Textile Medium and any number of acrylic paints. The you just mix equal parts acrylic and paint medium and slop it right through the stencil. Then hang it over the radiator and it dries in 40-60 minutes. The great thing with this is that you can paint different parts of the stencil in different colours. I made a McProfits shirt I'm really proud of, it's on a dark red t-shirt. The arches are in gold and the McProfits is in lighter, more vibrant (also nearer blood coloured) red. It looks amazing, I think.

PS: Ban over! WOOOOOOOO!

Question. What would be the fastest way to make patches. I just bought the material for them. And have my stencil. What kind of paint should I use?

[QUOTE=skavid]Any art supply store will have some. Any Wal-Mart, Target, etc. type place should have some too.[/QUOTE]
Buying at Walmart sorta defeats the purpose of DIY, or something like that that Nick said.

[QUOTE=Clashed]Question. What would be the fastest way to make patches. I just bought the material for them. And have my stencil. What kind of paint should I use?[/QUOTE]

There's a kind of paint you can buy in a normal paint jar called TEXTILE MEDIUM and you can mix that with ACRYLIC PAINTS to make paint that will stay on cloth and won't wash off. This is cheaper and more practical than buying straight out textile paint because textile pain doesn't come in as many colours readily (you will probably have to make orders for the less used colours) whereas every paint shop stocks tons of nearly every kind of acrylic colour. So if you mix in a jar equal parts textile medium and acrylic paint (ie. 2 spoonfuls of Textile Medium and 2 spoonfuls of Acrylic Blue and stir them in together(the textile medium is white but when mixed with acrylic it blends in and doesn't affect the shade or tone of the colour)) you get textile paint and you can just tape the stencil onto your chosen material and just sponge the paint through. Give it a good hour to dry and then, as with every other DIY print, iron it. Don't just slap the iron on it. Put a thin piece of material between the dried painted area and the iron, and iron over that for 10 minutes or so, and then peel off the covering material carefully. Another cool technique I learned is that if you put sparkly dust on them (like the sh'it we used to cover our pictures with in kindergarden) it will stick to the wet paint and then melt during the ironing, and what you get is a sweet-looking sparkly thing. So if anything you're printing calls for sparkly things, or if you just hang out with stoners a lot, it's nice.
