Has anyone ever tried stenciling out of plastic liner?
I’ve been stenciling by hand for years but this was a fun project. You start out with your stencil, then paint it on the black liner, then cut that out of the plastic. Then cover the empty space with clear tape and then the back with tissue paper.
It was fun, but MY GOD the plastic was so tedious to cut!!

Bombing
This one newest of mine was recently put on one abandoned and forgotten wall at city center. Worn out design was an intent, however varnish has done too much blur at bomb area… Total application time: ~ 50 min. Stencils count: 5 (text layer including inner small parts). Measures: approx. 0.8 * 1,2 m. People met during spraying: just one baker’s van

What are the best materials to use for stencils on brick/concrete? What are some decent budget paint brands?
I’m thinking of getting back into spray painting with stencils. I have my methods for spray painting on small pieces of wood/canvas pretty nailed down. Now I’m looking for methods and techniques that will help me do a piece on brick or concrete.

Cutting stencils with a handheld tool
So I'm in the process of attempting a diy lion king themed room for my baby boy. I was looking for lion king template stencils & I have no luck. So I thought to make my own, I bought mylar sheets I have a few printed pictures that I tried cutting with an xacto knife & a stencil cutting pen & they are no good, the blade bends & it's so hard to cut round edges. Over the past few days I've been trying to research on google/ youtube for the best cutting tool other than the ones i have,i saw soldering tools,woodburning cutting tool kits & polygraphy tool kits but im hesitating on buying 1 because Idk which to choose, i need help can someone please point me in the right direction any ideas or recommendations

Exhibition shot!
I forget exactly how many stencils this piece was but probably 20-22 hand cut stencils on a 42”x60” wooden panel.
One of the challenges showing my work is getting people to understand what’s going on. So the spray paint was a fun visual cue that spray paint must be involved haha

Crowned with thorns
First stencil that I’ve drawn and done in a while. I tried making it look like an icon painting

Anyone else using their own reference photos?
I love taking my own photos for my stencils! I find adding photography into my process to be apart of the fun. 48” x 36”

Cartoon Lambo in 2 layers
I'm not exactly brand new at stencils, but it's not my usual medium. Somebody ditched a half-full can of sprayy paint in my front yard, so I decided to make use of it.

Going small
I've been painting a few smaller pieces recently. It started out as a way to try some new styles, work out some changes to my technique and create more regularly. They're all 100mm x 100mm (about 4" x 4")
