Stenciling is Dope

Inspired by Banksy himself I wanted to do something similar to his infamous "Girl With Bomb" . I found this perfect picture.

I thinned down the image using photoshop and brought it to three layers including the background.

I got lucky, you need to be 25 to buy spray paint in Philadelphia (Which I only found out recently) but the day before I left I went out and picked up four cans. Whee. All I need to do now is come up with a larger better stencil and this city is as good as mine. I also met a kid who talked to me about the lack of a "Connecticut bombing scene." Rad.

It's on the back of my sketch pad.

There is the stencil for the shadows next to it. I had to cut out a new stencil for each layer of color.



IT'S TINY. You have no idea how long it takes to make all of those tiny tiny cuts over and over again. White was the background layer so that stencil was just the outline of the whole figure. They Grey layer is mid tones and the black holds the darkest shadows.

I gotta do more of this stuff.
