dont have anny here... and i ment a huge mmotherfucker canvas by the way

[bigbomba']

go 2 jo ann faberics or micheals and grab some

[scrabble]

oh ok i see where your going i guess thats why you were asking for it cheap because small ones are inexpensive, you can make them go to a art store, and ask if they have the materials to make them should reduce the price by half or less.

just build the frame with light wood like the stuff for doorpaneling. then like i said go to the art store and buy the canvas material.

[vegimite on toast]

THey don't have to be on a wood frame, you can get acrylic primed canvasses on stiff board for cheap.

[joust]

yeah the board ones work pretty good if your not doing oils or acrilic paints. If its spray paint check thoes.

[RMA]

If it dosen't matter how heavy the canvas is just use wood. Go to a hardware store you can get a 8' by 11' sheet of plywood for around $15-18 American. Or go to a construction site when no ones around and grab left over plywood from the dumpster.

[Kronone]

k if yur gunna use a canvas, use a smaller one, and if you want a BIG one then fuckin use a wall....

[l33t.b0mb3r.hax0r.ntr]

if you want a big one for aerosol and not brushes. strectch out a white bedsheet, i've seen it work out pretty nice sometimes, but make sure it's tight.

[DOUK or DIE]

i get my canvas by walking into michaels with a back pack and putting like 10 8 1/2 X 11 pieces of canvas board in my back pack then walk out

[DOUK or DIE]

then i use paint to maKe a nice fade back round theN i use paint markers and do up some letters over iT

[RUP'E]

you can buy like these canvas type material boards for about half the price of a proper canvas, and their big.
also cheap shops are really good
never buy canvases from an art shop
