One of my works. When applying paint, the stencil did not adhere tightly to the surface, so it turned out imperfect.

How did you make it? I'm assuming it wasn't cut by hand?

u/Expert_Werewolf_5803 7d ago

No, I cut it on a laser machine.

Amazing! What kind of machine is it? I really like the idea of getting something like that to make artworks and Tshirts

Dust it lightly with this to hold it down.

For a good result I use masking tape. I fix the stencil along the edges. In this work I just put a frame on top. Thanks for the advice though.

Is this a laser cut stencil with a halftone? I’m trying to get this sort of technique figured out.

u/Expert_Werewolf_5803 7d ago

Yes, it is laser cut.

What kind of a stencil is this? I've never seen anything like it.

u/Expert_Werewolf_5803 7d ago

Stencil with dots. If you want to see my works, there is a link to my youtube channel in my profile.

I feel like this type of process might work better as a screen print?! Have you ever given that a shot??

I am communicating through a translator and perhaps Google has translated your sentence incorrectly, so I did not quite understand you. In the photo there is a stencil, if that is what you mean.

He was asking wheter you ever considered, trying this stencil with a classic printing process and liquid paint instead of using a spray can.

u/Expert_Werewolf_5803 5d ago

In my case, this is simply impossible, since I make stencils mainly from paper. Spray paint is ideal for my stencils.

u/naikologist 1d ago

Wait! This ismade from paper?

u/Expert_Werewolf_5803 1d ago

Yes

Wow! You said its laser cut. So you might cut other materials like pvc with it?

u/Expert_Werewolf_5803 19h ago

Do not under any circumstances cut PVC with a laser!!! It emits very harmful chemical compounds. PET plastic is perfect for a laser. I sometimes use it, but it is more convenient and cheaper for me to work with paper.
