    Just another little tip I found.

    Look for any local sticker or printing stores,they often throw out rejected sticker designs that are just asking to be drawn on.

    hmmm
    coolness
    they have giant rich neighborhoods being developed around my area
    and i could get around there late night
    itd be a bitch though
    the area has a curfew for anyone under 18
    if your under 18 you cant be out after like 11 or 12
    it totally blows
    but building dumpsters
    used spray/ bucket paint and respirators?
    anything else thats useful?

    whoa
    nice toke
    and what kind of stores should i look for vinyls?
    like KINKOS
    fedex kinkos i think is the new name
    but yeah
    a photo copy place?
    and is it true that places like best buy radio shack staples circuit city etc would throw out old electronics that dont sell in dumpsters?

    high schools are good to find comps and shit like that and if you find a teck school that has an auto shop dig in the dumpster closest to it you can find all kinds of stuff a few weeks ago i found 2 printers and a box of small and large sized grind stones

    best find ever for me was 2 cases of Painters Touch spray paint...
    brand new just thrown away after an apartment building was remodelled
    only downside was it was Flat Gray and Off-White
