Stencil Graffiti

[ANIK]

Wot you lot think about stencils? Do you think that people that can make stencils are talented artists or not? I did a 3 layer stencil for my art final piece. I'll post a picture of it if someone can tell me how to do it. Well confused...

[artcrime99]

stenciling is definitly an art but you wont get much respect for just doing stencils there is not enough skill involed

[ACTION NEWS...]

Yeah.

It requires no can skill, but it's hard to make a god stencil.

[gnarlatron3030]

there is not enough skill involed
I've gonna say, that is complete bullshit. Stenciling is very difficult to get good at, just like traditional graff. Only difference is you can get better faster---nonetheless it takes a lot of skill, especially to make them freehand

[chas]

stencilings pretty cool im not into it tho

[ANIK]

I mostly paint, but my stencils are getting pretty detailed now. I think that a sick idea is to have a piece, with the details in the fill with mad stencil shapes and shit. Someone tell me how to upload pictures. Definatley have to be quite talented to do really crisp stencils. I'm liking some of BANKSYs new shit.

[artcrime99]

im sorry bad word choice im not trying to shoot you down im just saying that i dont belive stencils to be of high rank in the graffiti world, myself i would rather see a nice handstyle than a stencil because i know that the guy doing the handstyle has to recreate his work everytime he gets up were as a stencil you make a couple and ur set for a while.Hold and spray shit you know what i mean. Now if you are going out and doing pieces with stencils then my past coment is meaningless. I cant really see the advantages of using a stencil to create a piece except to lazy to learn can control or you want really really sharp lines.

[snow2skate]

Yay the only reaction youll get is, haha man thats cool. People wont be like.. man this guys fukin sick, that some good skillz and style.... only if oyu were like as good as banksy.

stencils can be ill if they look good and are placed nicely. stencils that go over graf are not ill.

[ghostbusta5]

theres already a few posts on this

[MONTPELLIER/MARSEILLE]

banksy is owsome, i would personaly rather look at his stencils den look at a simply good graffer...
stencil is very very hard at da begining,but u get good quik..
graffiti its not dat hard, just get a pen and some paper and practise (or a can and a wall) but it takes longer to get good...

they are both creative art forms, but both in different ways

[ANIK]

Safe, safe this is one of my stencils.http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/5639/dscf00466ua.jpg It 3 layers. Wot do you think?

[ANIK]

Here is another one, a bit less detail, but I still think its cool. http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/5174/superstar39gu.jpg

[screw_loose]

never like them myself but i bet they could get pretty good if you take the time to make one.

Because shoes are the ill'st things to ever hit your feet

[MiNZ]

i have a couple karak stencils i did a full wall down the line with em once in like 10 minutes but i got lots of paint on my left hand from holding em theyre alright bu id rather do a throw

[ShIfTeD]

anyone can cut a stencil...all you need to do is go get some type of sharp blade and paper and cut it into a design you like.....just like regular graffiti.

anyone can do graffiti, you can just go to the store, get a can of paint...go to a wall and spray



it takes a real artist to make a stencil "apealing as art"


a good stencil artist will evenly, smoothly cut their lines with elaborate ideas behind the stencil. a good stenciler will pick the right spot with the most attention torwards it, a good stenciler will make it "pop"



im a huge fan of stenciling and is my number one pick as far as graffiti goes



somthing about a piece of paper with cuts on it up against somthing getting so much attention, and looking so nice blows my mind

[imported__TeCH_]

damn dude..u said it right thur..

[TylerDurden]

I dont even know what a stencil is! :unsure:

ask shifted, he'll back me up

[Kerf1]

i actually think the shoe is a good idea, might be weird to see a shoe on a wall but i love those kicks so i can complain

but forreal...i think tylers the best stenciler here...hed smoke anyone!

[spez]

this one girl i chill out with used a stencil once. it was a skull.....of course, typically she always does the damn skull shit... sorry, it just annoys me sometimes cause you see skulls EVERYfUCKINGPLACE!

[Zulu]

stencils are the single most politically charged form of graffitti and on of my personal favorites. The best use is to fill in with a lighter shade of a color used in a bomb. It's fucking awesome if you do it just right.

[Zulu]

I'll take Tyler anyday.

[Noddles912300]

I started with stenciling but i do free hand stuff. not good at it but i guess im making a bit of progress.

[paris_brew]

Personally,I Like stencils, some of you might say it is the easiest thing ever,

Well, it night take a retard to be able to do it,
but to make one hell of a good stencil takes talent!

[bigtakeover]

i love stencils, i dont make them but i love them in general.

[d4rkst4r]

stencils are alright, not sure which requires more skill, traditional graff or stencil. Both are defenitly an art form and require skill to get good at soooo. btw how do you make a stencil?? i mean the 3-5 layered ones..

[sens1]

psh.... stencils? come on.

[toke]

stencils are pretty sweet
they require like no graffiti skills,
but theyre mad harsd to make in my opinion aha

[diam]

stencils are nice. It either has to be crazy simple like obey, or a couple layers. Bansky does some sick shit.

//any one know were to find good pix for stencils besides stencilrevolution.com?

Pretty much exactly what I was gonna say.

Stencil Art/Graffiti is more based around the creation/designing of the stencil not actually painting it, whereas 'traditional' graffiti is kinda the other way around (although with still a lot of focus on the 'design' aspect). That's how I feel about it anyway.
