you can't be the punkest person on here unless you've got an "up teh punx" tattoo over your heart and are addicted to heroin.

end of story.

ps: "up teh pux"

I heard flip-flops are the fa[size=2]ggot[/size]iest excuse for footwear on the planet.

Brain Toad 05-23-2006 08:14 PM

Tell that to most of my college.

Anarcho Poser 05-23-2006 08:20 PM

Or most of any college, for that matter.

AIRIC 05-23-2006 08:22 PM

Today I wore my dockshoes.

incubass 05-23-2006 08:43 PM

im gonna make a state radio patch and i was wonderin whats a good material for patches preferably a little thicker than a t-shirt. Or does any craft store sell just like sections of fabric that i could cut into a small square or rectangle? Thanks for the help

I bought an approx. 10 ft. square piece of painter's canvas from my school's bookstore, and it worked fine for patches.

incubass 05-23-2006 08:48 PM

^cool, what color is it though, i forgot to say that i would prefer black.

Brain Toad 05-23-2006 08:54 PM

You can buy black canvas at most fabric stores. I have some, that I never use because I'm lazy and don't make patches.

incubass 05-23-2006 08:55 PM

alright thanks ill go check michaels or jo-ann fabrics soon.

Anarcho Poser 05-23-2006 09:08 PM

They will almost definitely have some.

OMG! Punk gossip(sp?)!

coheneran 05-24-2006 05:29 AM

DON'T SPEND MONEY ON FABRIC! It is completely pointless. Go to a tailor's and ask if they have any spare cuttings, or go to the back of a fabric store and have a rummage through their garbage.

/Punk has lost its way:upset:

Brain Toad 05-24-2006 01:30 PM

Aren't you punk as **** :rolleyes:

coheneran 05-24-2006 03:02 PM

Damn straight.

Got hold of a bunch of Anti-ID pamphlets and a whole lot of Resistance bulletins today, had a good time handing them out in the rain.

In DIY news, I made a stencil of Emiliano Zapata, and I'm going to make one for the St. Patrick's Battalion, but there's no pics of them (seeing as it was in the Mexico-American war), anyone have any ideas?

Golan 05-24-2006 04:51 PM

Viva los zapatistas!

Are you Israeli?

Viva la San Patricios!

AIRIC 05-24-2006 05:35 PM

No he's not Israeli.

coheneran 05-24-2006 05:36 PM

Golan is a Jewish name.

AIRIC 05-24-2006 05:51 PM

yo ERAN SHUT UP.

coheneran 05-24-2006 05:56 PM

So is Eric. I know a guy called Eric.

I'm going to develop a way to make portable, concealable, practical and quick protest placards. I will need tape.

Golan 05-24-2006 08:19 PM

I'm not Israeli, but congratulations on being officially the first person to ask me that.

Try stickers for your protest placards (much harder to get off walls than mere tape)

Shelvey 05-24-2006 10:45 PM

Well, I printed my first shirt tonight with some fabric paint, a foam brush, and some card stock. I was prety sloppy with it, but I dig the results. I've got soem plans for some more detailed ones to come too. I'll post shots of them as they come.

Thanks to everyone who posted stuff in here about printing.

justin toxicated 05-24-2006 10:56 PM

ive def seen worse. not bad for a beginner. next time give Freezer Paper a shot.

Anarcho Poser 05-24-2006 11:18 PM

It did come out pretty sloppy, but not too bad.

good rats 05-25-2006 01:13 AM

So I just ran out of spray adhesive.

Le sigh.

coheneran 05-25-2006 05:04 AM

Get four or five pieces of blank card, about 2 and a half feet long and a foot wide. Line them up so they form a neat square, with the blank bit facing down. Tape along the seams were one card ends and another begins, and voilla! You have a blank placard that you can fold up to be just 2 1/2 feet long and 1 foot wide without creasing the cards. Now just draw your design on the blank part. I wrote Protect Free Speech on mine with a pencil, just to see if it fits. Then I thickened the writing with the pencil, then I got a black permanent marker and filled it in properly. Gave the marker a few minutes to dry out properly, folded it up, and marched out to Parliament Square. That took me less than half an hour to make.

I used advertising cards I liberated from the Tube, they're pretty sturdy but they're thin, which is good, and they can be rolled up without much damage to the card.

If you are looking to make big poster type things try making some wheatpaste and using that to put posters up.

You could put the wheatpaste in a bottle in your bag, along with a brush. THen just roll up the poster.

And when wheatpaste dries it's nearly impossible to get off.

I wonder if that even made sense..

coheneran 05-25-2006 06:00 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean. But this is the sort of placard you use for holding at protests. The problem is that the cops have patrols around planned protest zones on the day and when they see a bunch of kids holding placards and walking in that direction, they give us hassle.

Danger Bird 05-25-2006 07:42 AM

I used a big stencil to make a big "BLACK POWER!" fist on my civil rights timeline for school. I also have a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr. shooting pool behind his back.

justin toxicated 05-25-2006 11:20 AM

im very much into urban exploration and odd buildings in general and i found this one website some time ago that documented all these strange buildings in my county/state. it was kind of like a Weird "your state here" magazine without the little kids from hot topic driving two hours to see a penis-shaped tree. anyway, on the site once i saw that whoever made the site posted this abandoned building in my city that i never knew about and on one of the walls someone spraypainted the ghost-mascot from Ghostbusters with it's fist in the air (instead of one or two fingers) and it said "Black Power" in the ghostbusters font.

it was pretty hilarious. by the time i found the land that the person documented, both the stencil and the majority of the building had been demolished.

coheneran 05-25-2006 11:28 AM

Bummer. I finally managed to get a copy of the Squatters Handbook, next time I have a free Sunday or Saturday, I'll probably scan it onto PDF, or photocopy it.
