[QUOTE=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[/QUOTE]


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

[QUOTE=Flagjacket]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.[/QUOTE]
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.

i'd love an adolescents stencil.

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 shi[size=2]t[/size], I completely forgot about the protest, sorry Eran :(

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.

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist]
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 ;).[/QUOTE]
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.

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

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

A bus or building maybe?

it's the front of a car.

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

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

"It's with the company of these friends
That we drove on through the night
We were carried by the wheels of armageddon"

i was going to say bus but van worrks too. i think im going to make a shirt of that.

[QUOTE=POINTLESS5448]i was going to say bus but van worrks too. i think im going to make a shirt of that.[/QUOTE]
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.

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

i need to start making my stencils, the past few ive been half-assing it and just DLing them.

i made an adicts stencil the other day, but got excited and threw it in the wash to early, so now its all faded. tell me wot you think.

It looks pretty sweet. It doesn't look professional because it's faded, but it makes it look even punXer.

My girlfriends dad has a garden and his plants are being consumed by bugs. Whatre good ways to prevent bugs in organic gardens or are there any organic unharmful pesticides or pesticide recipes?

crushed egg shells around the bottom of the plant will keep snails away

That's funny, because today I started making a Bob Barker vs. Alex Trebek stencil.

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

snails are bugs

Kinda.

brett post the hitler and corey picture.

[QUOTE=sam-a-lam]snails are bugs[/QUOTE]
Snails are mollusks not bugs. Thank you to the person who posted the link too.

Bugs just means a pest, something that bugs you. I think you are confusing bugs with insects.

This thread is so dead.
 

I'm making a simple stencil of a local band's logo. I can't decide what to do with the "a" -- none of the bridges I've made look right. The best thing I can come up with is to fill in the A completely.

[url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/idiosyncratic/A55-2.gif[/url]

Any suggestions/someone who would do it for me? (**** "diy")

I'll post some pics of what I've done recently sometime.

I'd just cut straight across and let the middle of the A be a solid color. Like just don't make any bridges.

So I realized all the stencils I've been doing have been of other stuff. So I figured I'd make my own **** and throw that up just to get some street cred or something.

So Jark Shark is my secret alias among my friends, and I made this stencil to go with that.

I have yet to even begin the actual cutting or anything, but I'm gonna make this one super high quality and put it up all over, so everyone knows me.

I haven't made a shirt in a long time, and since all my friends were elsewhere today, I decided to make an against me shirt.

[url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/Stencils/againstme.jpg[/url]

It's not finished, because I still have to paint in the faces and do some touching up, but I like it so far.

Also, the hands turned out like crap. I'm going to need to think about how to fix that.

That's so awsome. I wish I was better at making stencils.

yea its pretty sweet the way it is, and the hands you can tell are hands.

as for scum, i would go with making a bridge. make the smallest bridge you can, and just hope to go it doesn’t break.

as for shirts ive made recently, ive made a Abfluss shirt (German or Belgium punk band) its just the name across the front, and there anarchy sign on the back, nothing grand.

yeah, I'll figure out the *** patch later.

Here are some patches I've made in recent days:
