Thanks alot. I hopefully will have the shirt done by this weekend, if not then before Thursday. I'll post pics.

[QUOTE=Brain Toad]C:/Windows/Fonts[/QUOTE]
I've all ways wondered where you put font files.
:)

srsly?

Yeah, if you don't teach people how to do specific things on a computer people will never learn.

Unless you're a robot.

People need to stop using the Army stencil. I think I see that one used somewhere about twice a day. On TV commercials, to band ads, to the Home Depot logo, to posters...

Then that's a good thing, because if it's a recognised font that's used in a capitalist setting, people who recognise the font will see it on some stencil that says Capitalism Sucks (or something equally anti-estab) and it will catch their attention more. It's called subvertising.

[QUOTE=good rats]I finished my stickers before.

I know that you have to hold the can kind of far away, but I didn't. I've learned my lesson. :(

hahaha, the queen of DIY fails.

Yeah. Here's how it looked on a shirt.

I definitely need some practice with spraypaint. I also need some spray on adhesive.

I'll delete this post in a couple of hours:

I was thinking of coming, but there's a protest tommorow evening which is too good to miss. If it turns out to be boring, however, I'll try and make it, though the protest starts at 7.30.

Yeesh, that really sucks :(

Yeah, the crappy stencil I did doesn't really matter, because I'm putting it on a wall in my basement, which is set up specifically for me to just do whatever I want. Some of its' been good, some of it is not, but it's all learning experience at this point.

thats sweet. i have like 5 big *** ramps to tag all my **** on. not as cool as a wall, but whatev. me and brett are going to paint one all white and then put only the good stencils on it. when will that happen? probably never but who knows.

Ahah, we all have to start somewhere.

When you spray make sure you shake up the can REALLY well before you use it. And hold the can like...a foot or more away from the stencil..

If I've got nothing else to do today I'll make a video.

After i get done the stencil im doing now, i want to do a Joe Strummer shirt. Does anyone know where i can get a stencil of him. This is the best one i can find: [url]http://www.stencilrevolution.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=49509&si=joe%20strummer[/url]

Should i just cut out the black parts same with stencil punks.

Also what does Bolivian flag have to do with joe strummer. Does it stand for freedom or something. The reason im asking is cause behind the picture i want to put that flag, cause ive seen it with him in every picture i have seen of him.

Maybe he likes ayahuasca.

Try making your own stencil for it instead of finding one already made...

it's not that hard. Check the tutorials on SR. It helped me.

This is the stencil i made of Joe Strummer. Would you be able to tell that it was him??

How do you cut out detailed stuff. like really tight lines, and sharp curves. I ended up using a thumb tack and pressing holes, so there are tiny little rips.

Also im using that freezer paper as suggested on Stencil Punks. i was wondering, can you re-use it. cause i want to test it, but i wont if i can only use it once.

Oi Eran did you go in the end?

I was blacked out for 3 1/2 hours, but the second the Subs came on I jumped up, ran past the paramedics and got to the stage just in time.

Please PLEASE let me know of any more punk festivals/anomolies, that was the most fun I've had in ages (what I remember of it anyway)
