So today I went to the Stencil Festival.

Holy crap. So many good artists there. There stencils are crazy. So friggen detailed! Think like..10 layer stencils. Finest details.

The area the festival was at has got so much great street art. I'm going back tomorrow to check the festival out again, and to also put some paste ups around.

Sounds awesome. Take pictures?

Nah, you aren't allowed to take pictures in there. But we took like..70 pictures of all the graffiti and stencils in the area.

I'll try and sneak some pictures today.

That's so stupid. What are they afraid of, that someone will steal the artistic design they spray illegally all over the street? That's like wanting to copyright a new kind of heroin so no one steals it off you. They know they made the design, they have the personal satisfaction of having created it, what else do they want? A cheque?!

I cannot [i]wait[/i] to sink my teeth into this!!!

I'm going to loan my minor threat stencil to a kid I don't really like.

Seem like a good idea?

I don't really care as long as he doesn't use it to graffiti around where I live (he's a tagger), and as long as I get it back.

Could somebody make a stencil of the Robocop logo? I'm going to do the logo, then the picture, and then the words "Dead or alive, you're coming with me". I've already got the dead or alive part, all I need is the logo. Thanks.

EDIT: Here's a test spray of the picture part.

it looks good but i think it will be hard to tell that its robocop unless you already know. also it would be cool to make it a 2 layer stencil and make the eye part red. im not sure if its red im thinkin like cyclops from xmen but regardless it would look cool.

As long as you can trust the kid not to do that, it doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Definately a bad call to lend a TAGGER a stencil that you don't want TAGGED all over your neighborhood. Tell him to make his own, it's more punk that way.

Get some spray adhesive. It will hold the stencil down better and the stencil will look heaps cleaner.

I use Krylon Easy Tak. Good stuff

I quite like the off-spray. It adds a bit of pretty shading, and helps fill in the bridges but still keeps the stencil image clear.

He said it was just a test spray.

You bought that patch from a Newbury Comics or something.

could someone explain how stenciling works, i'm curious

[QUOTE=Matt?]could someone explain how stenciling works, i'm curious[/QUOTE]
You cut out the shape of something on a piece of cardboard or thick paper, then paint the spaces that have been cut out, and the image of the stencil is transferred to whatever you were painting it on.

ahh so people like print out the pictures and cut them out on cardboard or something?

[QUOTE=Matt?]could someone explain how stenciling works, i'm curious[/QUOTE]

Like shadow puppets, but using paint and a precisely cut hole instead of light and your hand.

This guys seriously doesn't know what a stencil is?

Right, I did it in like 2 seconds, the final will look much better.

Yeah, I just want to see if he will use it like he says he will. I'm really trying to have this kid be on my good side, but it's just so difficult, because he's just such a tool.
