[QUOTE=Jon;14552114]don't you have a library at school/college?

I got out like 5 huge screenprinting books and just tried to absorb some of the stuff from there.

but like, with screenprinting especially, nothing beats getting shown it hands on. never made sense in my head until i did.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

Yup, if you do it right it'll turn out just like that. Screenprinting is sweet like that because allows for greater detail.

a 500w halogen lamp should be fine for exposing, right? i'm just about to buy one which is exactly the same as this guy i was talking to used for his screen printing.

Well, I've finally invested money in my tallbike idea. I was going to make it last summer, but lacked adequate bike parts. Now I just spent 15 dollars on a bike, and I think it'll be compatable with another frame I have.

Although as soon as I brought it home I broke it, but whatever. I think I can fix it again.

[QUOTE=Sanjur0;14552331]That is such a bada'ss stencil. I'd be very impressed if I saw anyone wearing that shirt, or wearing that as a patch. Looks like you've got your work cut-out for you to make that, but if it comes out good, it'll look very awesome.:thumb:[/QUOTE]

hah yeah i know, its might be alittle ambitious for a first printing ever but thats out weighed by its sheer kick a'ssitude.

I guess so. Just ask him how long you should should leave it under the light for. I know with 150w it only needs to be under for an hour, so I would imagine a 500w would be a lot less.

Yeah, he said he left his for around 9 minutes.

aersome!!

By the way, if you're looking for blank stickers, spend the 10 minutes that it takes to sign up and order free supplies from UPS.com. Same goes with USPS and DHL.
I got 6000+ delivered today...

6000 stickers?? How would you put images on blank stickers anyways?

I ordered 4 formats and 2 of them look like they're made to be put through printers. But my main reason for getting them is for spraying stencils.

This is probably the wrong place for this but do you punks know any good hostels to stay at for a night in Philadelphia? My friend and I are gonna need to stay overnight somewhere when we go see Lighting Bolt.

Not everybody lives like your runaway dad, Justin.

Yea I don't really wanna stay in a dive somewhere. I'm just not that punk.

a nice bench, oi?

lol.

Find yourself a hotel, it can't be too hard. Plus they have websites for this sorta thing.

[URL]www.hotels.com[/URL] is one, I think

haha

i've bought most of the stuff i need for screen printing now. i just need chemical type stuff and ink.

i even cleaned my room, so i can do most of it in there.

I don't know if there are hostels in Philadelphia. You could stay in a really crappy motel or if it's nice enough, go for a park bench.

Ahhh, good to see that stencilpunks are still putting out utter trash stencils that look they were designed by a 5 year old.

Nothing's changed then :)

Where do you order them from specifically on the site?

For UPS you gotta sign up here [url]https://www.ups.com/one-to-one/register?sysid=myups&lang=en&langc=US&loc=en_US[/url]
Later it'll ask for some reg. number, I figured out later that you have to sign up for that too.
I've heard that there's a chance they'll call you but you can just BS the questions. I'm guessing they only do that in major cities 'cause they never called me.

When you get to the Supply list, go straight to the Internet ones. The rest are mostly garbage if I remember correctly.

I signed up and it was pretty straight forward, but I did see any supply list.

Nothing special, but it's cool. Bought the hood from an online auction for for the equivalent of a few bucks. Proceeded as described on stencilpunks.

that came out good man

I love how it's slightly faded.

johnny's death anniversary tomorrow :upset:

got screenprinting all afternoon, so I can make a nice t-shirt to wear at the tribute gigs, toying with the idea of scarring/tattooing LAMF into my arm somewhere.. wish I could afford the thunders tatoo I've been planning, oh well.
