So yea, I just blogged on making a stencil on my traveling bag and at the moment of posting i didnt have a camera at hand so I couldnt provide any pictures.
but now they are here:

At first I was disappointed because a lot of paint got behind the stencil- look at the chests where the ties are, it's all blurry and stuff.

but my sis, said it ok, at least ppl will see the technique i used and it still looks pimp :>

i might be doing some more soon on a hard surface so the thing with the paint wont happen again.

...yea and if anyone has a pic that could be turned into a stencil show it to me and i'll consider it.

hope you like it as much as i do!

Sweet job. Pity it was blurred... I would buy a T-shirt if it had this on it. Honestly!

thx man, but as i said the blurred parts really don't bother me anymore, stencils are supposed to be "street" so nothing wrong with it being bit dirty...

As a friend of mine going to university has a birthday coming, i'm considering making a folder for lecture notes with a sweet stencil on it.

and yeah TL will be the first to see it.

Nice, I know how hard it can be making a stencil with such detail ... and spraying em is always a pain. Nice work!

Hey I've done quite a few stencils. Just curious what do you use as a medium, and what to cut etc.

At first I used corrugated cardboard, but this is a bitch to cut (it does fold and travel pretty well though). Then I started to use things like; shoeboxes, beerboxes, or that cardboard filler in clothes/calendars etc. They are pretty thin and easier to cut and put more detail in, but they get soggy and worn out very easily (the detail goes away with use and/or it becomes brittle or bent).

I mostly just used X-acto knives and some simple scoring techniques but I always had trouble when dealing with negative space or just things like letters where there are spaces inside.
and spray paint ofc.

I'll post some of mine later if you want.

Yours is supposed to reservoir dogs right?

ps- a tip for you, get some newspaper and lay it under/around where the edge of the stencil is so you eliminate all that outer 'fallout spray'.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

[image loading]


but this x-acto blades look sweet how much do they cost? hmm but i think i saw some of them in my lab at work, os maybe i could just borrow those...

and i talked more about the technique is used in my last blog, i doubt that anyone does stencils like i did this one, but then again i dont know how other ppl do it. i just thought of a way that could work for me and did it.

edit: and the stencil, is anon brothers from 4chan, we are legion, or w/e ppl call it.
