BORN+DEAD Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 This stencil was blasted all over Portland from around 94 to 98. then it just stopped. I found a few still hanging on along a random stretch of tracks just out side of Portland. Does anyone have any back story on this stencil? I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking dam thats awesome! 50s guy smoking a pipe. It was always up at the local Punk Rocker squatting spots. Anyone got any info to share on this?

Droolo Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 That bust pic is priceless ! I clearly remember seeing those blockbusters when passing thru the city at some point back then, on the way north, had to circle back and get photos, so fresh !

told Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Born+Dead, if you're who I think you are... are you the guy I met in Boston on some random weeknight and we ended up getting drunk and roaming around until 5am just talking about graf and checking out spots, hitting South Street Diner and getting offered hookers and crack by a pimp? And I went straight to my corporate job the next day still drunk on no sleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these were the " Franks Depression Poetry" stencils back in the Zoots/ Punkrock days of Portland.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRJCTiD Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 so after 2 hours of resizing 23 photos to share with you guys.. the folder vanished on my computer. I'll get them up soon, but at this point I'm ready to throw the computer in a fire pit.. so done for the day I'm stoked to share photos of peoples work around here.. mine werent nearly as historic as Born+dead's, but hey, the present is just history happening!

BORN+DEAD Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 PRJCTiD Open what ever you were resizing your photos in and hit save as. then read where it is saving to. this may be the place your folder went. If you named the folder just search it out, every computer has a search option. Or you can use a photo uploader like http://www.photobucket.com and you can resize them once you upload them. just trying to help a brother out. Born.

Thanks for the help man, the actual content disappeared. I was saving them to a folder on the desktop and checking it every few flicks.. then I go to upload it and it's completely different content. Id say prob virus, but I'm on a mac.. I'll get 'em up tonight, I think u posted enough to keep people at bay! yours was some true history too. if I could give props, they'd be yours! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
