i really love graffiti, but i have no artistic ability whatsoever. i was considering getting into stencil graffiti. i live in the city where shepard fairey (OBEY)grew up(five shrooms to anyone who can guess the city). i know where some of his original work still is and some of his andre the giant stickers are. i was wondering if anyone on here does this and if so if they would tell me about it. im really considering getting into this form of graffiti and i just want a lil' input.

I know he grew up in the east coast but lived in San Diego but then moved to LA to open up his studio. I met fairey through a friend of mine when shep worked at Black Market in San Diego. Cool guy with a lot of energy.
Check out Stencil Revolution for some great art and tutorials.
Banksy is my one of favorite stencil artist.

I just did this recently... nag champa. Just fucking around a bit. Might add some smoke going up later or something.
And I have a few really nice detailed ones. I did one of ET in super fine detail that sprays out nicely with "BELIEVE" over it and a couple weed leaf ones.
I would suggest to just grab the stencil paper at walmart, or go searching for a thin plastic material. Sketch out your idea on paper first or in photoshop and print it out, then recreate it with a fine tip sharpy, or a fat sharpy on the stencil plastic. Then grab your favorite exacto knife and start cutting.
The hardest part in a detailed stencil is to figure out where everything connects in the center. Try to "generalize" blotches of color to 2 toned. After you get the hang of that then try a super simple multi-colored one. I'll take some pics when I get back if I remember ones ones I've done - thats the only one I have online.

How does that stencil work? Its got a bunch of white places that are "islanded" off from the rest. When you cut it those part will just fall out wont they?

Fuck stencils. They take ZERO graffiti skills to make or put up. You'll notice in many of the pics on the net that the stencils even have DRIPS or aren't even filled in correctly, that's why they are even doing stencils in the first place, they're too fucking retarded to control a can of paint, or too lazy to learn.
Why even put up a stencil? That's not art, that's fucking cookie cutter bullshit. Keep that weak ass shit to yourself. If you're gonna spray something up somewhere, at least put some creativity in it.
Get some cans of paint, some different size and pressure caps, and practice on some wood boards or in a vacant lot with a bunch of stupid toy ass tags (shit like "FUCK" "RANDY LOVES SHEILA" etc) learn block letters at first. It's all about learning can control (distance,speed,motion), spraying even lines, not causing any drips, learning how to shade,etc.
A lot of you are gonna read that and be like "fuck all that" and go back to thinking your stencils are something worth a shit. Do everyone a favor and spray yourself right in the damn eyes.

ps- Fuck Banksy's faggot ass. T-KID, now that's TALENT. Banksy is some littlle 5 foot tall english faggot who thinks he seriously hot shit cause he can cut a fucking stencil out.
"oh but some of those are so detailed, blah blah blah"
Yeah, he's got all the time in the world to do that in his living room doesnt he? Then he goes and sprays it in 10 seconds and gets the fuck on down, half the time even he has drips and shit all over his "pieces", he can't even learn the most basic fucking fundamentals of graf. T-KID can spray up a dope ass piece in like 5 minutes or less, phenomonal shit, real masterpieces that are hard to believe he even did with a spray can, let alone in the dark in a matter of minutes.
Fuck stencils, and fuck Banksy's hack ass.
Ps- fuck that nag champa stencil too. What the fuck? That's just vandalism, nag fucking champa cookie cutter bullshit, what the fuck. that's basically a fucking permanent ad for nag champa. Good work on being nag champa's personal corporate whore.

one of my favorite websites: www.woostercollective.com
It's about all kinds of street art, not just graffiti or stencils, but 3-d shit, trippy sculptures, drawing faces on lamp-posts, stickers...anything. If you haven't seen any of their work, check out Faile.
