As xenophoby is rising on my country, especially in small towns, this Paddington stencil drew my attention. It’s not mine, I am exhausted with other duties, anyway, this one seemed somehow beloved to spare some time. Placed at 02:57 AM on one sick bar wall. Kinda challenging, there were noisy drunkyards just behind the corner.

Acetate question

1 Upvotes

Are acetate sheets bleach proof? Been using stencils made of crazy carpet sleds to put art onto shirts with bleach but not the best system as they warp alot. Would acetate work better or any other materials anyone could recommend to try would be very appreciated:)

Driveway stencil

3 Upvotes

Hi gang-I am looking to make driveway stencils for 2 of the music departments at a local high school. This is something traditionally done for seniors and we’re using as a fundraiser. The full image is of the mascot head in one solid school color and a second image (like an instrument or clef) laying atop the mascot head in a second color. I would love your input before spending money to create this! Do I make one stencil with the full 2-part image with a way to cover the previously painted portions when pairing the second color (and vice versa) or do I have 2 separate stencils? What material is best? Internet says LLDPE. 30 yr old versions of this were made of wood. Is that a better option? Or do I outsource this to a company that makes driveway stencils for schools and sports teams? No idea how much that costs. And do we use spraypaint for concrete? Should it be sealed? Any feedback is appreciated!

My buddy Mike showed me a photo of an awesome stencil commission he did a while back. He used multiple techniques like a Pour swipe for the buildings in the background on the right. We paused a frame from the movie to compare.

What stencil material to chose?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a stencil material that is stiff enough to stay straight when held against a wall with one hand. I bought some 7 mil mylar to try and it's very floppy. I'm looking for a material more like the store bought, pre-made stencils. I'm trying to cut these on a Silhouette Cameo 4 machine so it can't be too hard to cut.

A new stenciled out piece I recently debuted at the Seattle Art Fair in the Seattle Art Museum booth.

Around 20 or so hand-cut stencils on a wooden panel. 36”x36”

Pretty pleased with how it turned out
