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?

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?

I believe these were the " Franks Depression Poetry" stencils back in the Zoots/ Punkrock days of Portland..

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.

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
