-KARMA- Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 use a plastic bag, one of thouse big nice square ones and i cut mine on drawing paper, 70lb or above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mania] Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 u can make big ones so that u can fold 'em up and put them in a small bag or something else. pizza box portfolio tube get a friend who has a car roll it up and put some rubber bands around it there are many other ways, i just cant think of them right now...

-KARMA- Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 yeah, i forgot to add that you tape the drawing paper sheets together. does anyone know how to choose colors before painting and have them come out good? i know its pretty much preference but whenever i make a stencil it takes a few sprays for me to find colors that go well. i alway choose ones that look like they go well on the caps but look like shit when sprayed. for example. i had a little two layer of a little kid. i thought a dark blue and lighter blue would go good but they didn't go at all. and when you have a detailed 4-5 layer stencil of a person and are ordering off line how do you know which colors to get (because one off color would completely mess up your piece and you probably don't want to buy lots of 5 buck cans to experiment with)?

[mania] Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 it mostly is just experience and learning from screw ups. but the little color blocks they have @ online stores are usually pretty accurate in showing the actual color of the paint. just use what looks good. dont worry about it too much... if u do order the wrong type of paint, u can almost always find another use for that color. for detailed stencils, just go with colors that are close in hue or get a whole scale of colors if u have the $$$.

[mania] Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 this was a quickie i did today. simple 1 layer for the raven and a background. the background is an excerpt from Egdar Allen Poe's "The Raven". 14X16 canvas. did it for a girl(friend?)... its her favorite poem *sighs* Excerpt: But the raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered; Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before; On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before." Then the bird said, "Nevermore." sorry about the shit pics... my digi is the worst fucking camera ever. The raven close up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projekt Mayhem. Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 i wish it had come out a little more defined, but i think it will look better on a solid backround or with a darker color constructive comments welcome id like to hear some thoughts nice job on that canvas man, fresh idea and the raven came out nice and clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mania] Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 i wish i coulda used that camera to take my pics... nasty overspray. be more careful with ur spray. it looks like u should layer that, give it some more detail and add some depth to it. the middle part doesnt look right... it doesnt have any 3D/depth... know what i mean?

Projekt Mayhem. Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 yeah i dont really care about the overspray, it was just a test in may garage with a shitty cap, im more careful on the streets, the middle part was what i was worried about, thats where it lacks definition, as for the layers im gonna make a simple base layer matter of fact i just printed off another copy and im cutting out some c board right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Abc Eater Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I was wondering the same thing, how do you guys climb shit with a bigger stencil and keep them concealed without getting bagged, do you guys do them in parts like smaller posterboard sections of each stencil?

[mania] Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 just roll up the stencils into the big tubes that people use for carrying portfolio shit. stick that tube into ur backpack and dont look like ur up to shit.... its not that hard. or make the stencils so that they have taped hinges so u can fold 'emup nice and small to fit in a backpack or something else. RD i like that bazooka tooth one turned out nice. wouldnt have even noticed the misaligned stencil if u hadnt mentioned it... nice flares... did u use an orange dot or just an ny fat? or something else?

effigy Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 ignore the tag- it's a bit old cliche! I have a lot of others too. But stenciling has kinda taken a backseat to graff recently. I plan to get back up into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mania] Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 what do u mean by "cut"? u used some card or something to form the shape of the point? or did that thing where u turn the can @ an angle to get a thin line? something else? sry about all the questions... those flaress are just awesome though.

[mania] Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 its still down, but something has changed. the box where it usually shows the most recent gallery uploads now says "forbidden, u dont have acces to..." or something like that. it used to say "cannot find server". or something of the like. i dunno if that means anything... has anyone emailed prism? or gotten an email from him? does anyone know Spooky or GP or one of the other mods? they might know something. fucking SR... hope it is back soon. i have a feeling though, that the .eps exchange will be up when SR gets back online...
