stencil art

[dippa]

is anyone into stencil art, it is so cool,
what stencils do ya people like i need some more ideas

i got alot of bob marley and like mushrooms and sik stuff

[something]

I'm not sure what stencil art is. :oops: But show us some of your stuff.

[Ryan]

It's graffiti done with stencils...faster, easier to do covertly but still detailed, you see shitloads of it all over urban areas these days, huge explosion of it in Brisbane over the last 12 months.

http://www.stencilarchive.org - for examples.

I'd give it a go but alas I was born without an artistic bone in my body...

[kalem]

It's out of control, every kid and his dog does it now it seems. I don't mind it if it's quality artwork done with a bit of respect. But when you see some crap stencil of a gun just wacked up there straight over someone else's work, be it graffiti or another stencil, it fucked up. I love walking down the street and seeing interesting stuff, but you can pick the useless crap a mile away and hopefully it will lose it's 'cool' factor and get back to the real stuff.

[something]

OOOhhhh yeh, I got it now. I've seen it on skaters decks and stuff too. Hey dippa, do you make your own stencils or get them pre-made (or however you do it)?

[spuddy]

I think someone at Kona gave it a go by the looks of the 2005 bikes..... :?

Melbourne: Smith St / Brunswick St

Also see stickers....

[notb4dinner]

I remember seeing this one in Melbourne and being impressed (first time I'd seen stencil graf stuff):

I'd be interested in giving it a go, it's the sort of art I can handle... not too much dexterity required.

Wow! now that is impressive!

I'd be keen to do it too but I'm pretty sure it would be illegal in Launceston.

[Byatch]

there's a couple of examples of two, three and 4 colour stencils in melbourne, done with manilla folders and staples. very pro.

Just get ur stencils laminated or use X Ray sheets they dont peel up after doing alot of pieces.

[nhd]

stencils are played out

As an ex-grafitti artist (got busted doing a whole car when I was 15, am 32 now and haven't picked up a can in years :) ) I farkin love this new style of art. The more public art on public property the better :twisted: :twisted: :!: :twisted: :!: :twisted:

[dylma]

yeh i do a bit on cnavas, i like the mexican style. like i did ben harper in black on a red background with a line of yellow stars going throough the center.

[dippa]

yeah stencil revalution is the best and its like farkin but for stencil art, its chill stencils are mad

[shorty]

Speak to James at BSC...i think that's his name anyway...he was on channel 31 not so long ago talking about stencilling and some of his work!

[johnny]

So what's the go, do you just draw a pic onto plastic or whatever, cut it out and spray it? Is it that simple?

[parallax]

Sorry about the gravedig. Finally got some of my stencils cut-out after ages of procrastination. It's amazing what you'll do to entertain yourself when farkin.net is down. :lol:

I only had one can of paint in the garage at home, so yellow will have to do... for now.

I'll keep you posted anymore of my new stencils, should definately be heaps coming out in the next 3 weeks. Including one life size - hopefully. :lol:

[johnny]

Second one is pretty cool :D , not sure exactly what it is, but it looks good!

Has anyone seen the new street art (mixture of aerosol graf, stencil and brush work) around world square in sydney? It is some of the BEST street art I've ever seen (I've travelled NY, San Fran, Paris, Amsterdam/Rotterdam and Berlin seeking it out). There is a hell of a lot of it there too! Check it out!!

[cheese]

Theres some cool stencil art around Newcastle, theres a wall that used to have stairs on it and all that is left now is the stair outline, some guy stenciled a guy diving down the stairs from the top, it looks mad.

Man that's cool! the dude with the knife is sweet!

I'm so tempted to rack some packs and go put up again!

I think I'm a bit old to front the local magistrate for doing panels and such unfortunately........ I'd be up for some legal piecing and a bit of stencil if anyone in Sydney knows where!

[ashhash]

Hehe cheers lads

white stencil layer with freehand red marker session. gotta love arrows

[johnny]

Nice action!

Arrows rock! I'm a big mirror finish and do-dad fan myself. I haven't painted up since I got busted doing a whole car when I was 15 (that's 17 years ago..... :oops: ) except for a couple of legals and just mucking around myself.

Do you market your stuff?

Yeah a few of us MCP W3rd up Possie members buy his crappy stuff :wink: :wink:

[rhyno]

thats some awesome stuff you guys have got there, i started making stencils couple of weeks ago, but haven't got much yet. I wanna put a couple on some shirts, but i want to do it in a screen print fashion so that the paint is thicker and washed better. so does anyone know how to make a screen printing rig(i've searched google) or have any other ideas?

[ashhash]

so does anyone know how to make a screen printing rig

Yeah screenprinting is the shiz.
Make a wooden frame, tack some silk into it. (make sure its tight.)
Buy a squeegee (Piece o rubber basically) which is a bit narrower than your frame.
Ill leave the use of it for you to research. :wink:

Also dont fuck around with fabric paint.
Use acrylics and add a fabric medium to it.
It much cheaper and works alot better too I think.

Starting cutting!!

[zen_rider]

i've done a couple of things

My first real shirt
http://www.farkin.net/forums/album_pic.php?pic_id=11159

My first multi-layer
http://www.farkin.net/forums/album_pic.php?pic_id=11160

You don't NEED a screen printer, i managed these without one. See stencilrevolution.com for their tutorials and you'll be making sik stuff in no time flat

I've also done a design on my longboard skateboard. its saweeet

[nhd]

Yeah a few of us MCP W3rd up Possie members buy his crappy stuff :wink: :wink:

bah !

[ashhash]

Nice work man!

As you say you dont NEED a screen but if your doing more than one or two things its gonna be way quicker and easier.

[nhd]

blast from the past.
thought id show--------off my latest design.

Nice. I'm class of 2005 and doing some stencil graffiti style promotional posters for my art Major work. I wish I lived in Melbourne. I've heard its pretty big there..

I'll post updates of my major work as its happens.

[dilemma]

[Dig]

I've just started to do some stencilling to make t-shirts. Initially I was looking into both screen printing and stencilling but decided to stick with stencilling. I cut the stencil out of acetate (overhead projector sheets) and used a roller to apply the paint (I used an acrylic mixed with textile medium). I haven't washed them yet so I'll have to see how the paint goes in the wash.

My first t-shirt is pictured below, and I'll be working on other designs and stuff. I'll be looking at making them to sell so if anyone is a chick or knows a chick who wants a non-technical cycling top (t-shirt, long sleeve t, singlet) pm/email me and I'll tell you what the go is.

When I was at art school (uni) we could make screens for printing with photo emulsion, which meant that you could print anything (photos, drawings, I even did a feathery, transparent leaf). That would make it heaps easier for doing big runs of a design, but I may be able to suss something out for doing that in the future.

[johnny]

Hey, nice one!

[dilemma]

^^Hey, thanks Johnny.

I just washed some singlets that I made (printed on old scrappy bonds singlets to test) and the paint washed fine, didn't run or anything. I heat sealed one of them and not the other, and both were fine.
The paint I used was cheapo acrylic ($1.99 for a little bottle) from spotlight, so it must be the textile medium which is working.

woohoo! now i'm ready for the production line. Ladies, get ready! :D

I'm not a huge fan of stencil work,unless your the one cutting and designing them yourself.
But today I went to a Graff workshop at The Penrith Regional Art gallery and Lewers Bequest.
With the one and only HARO A.K.A The Crazy Prins
This guy is leading the way world wide into a new phase for Graff writers with hand carving entire pieces from timber,and airbrushing the colour on.
He has had about 10 or 11 Professional Art Exibitions in Japan and Switzerland and all over Australia.
If I knew how to put the link I would.
but his site is

www.thecrazyprins.com

check out his carvings they are the dope.
