the revolution will be stencilized
i have been going to this site for so long and havn't ever posted about it so now i feel guilty. im not holding out on you i swear. i wont do it again, im sorry. cmon baby, lemme see that smile. aw yeah.
so yeah this site is the sick shit. no i had just posted about stickernation.net and this site is similar but with stencils but this site is amazing.
ill break it down. first of all, this site is what it is because of users. get a profile, upload your stencils. its amazing seeing other people that arent huge artists but stencil it up and floor me with thier work. and this is shit i'd never ever see with out this site. looks to be austrailian based, stencils come from all over the world to this site to expose themselves to you. also in same way users contribute most of the content, the forums there also help artists talk to each other about tips and advice on the form, general art talk, or even talk shit about other artists. "yo bitch, someone already stencils andre the giant"
i also like being able to rate and comment on someones uploaded picture. some people get harsh but its mostly constructive crit.
so lets say you like the site but you want to contribute but dont know where to start. well stop crying because there is a tutorial section that is so thorough i laughed outloud. tutorials gave me some great ideas and also helped me clean up my skill.
the resources section also helped me out, stencil links out the ass and BONUS, downloadable stencil ready fonts! RESULT!
a section under construction that looks very very promising is the EPS exchange. you have a stencil people like. but you live in africa. you upload the EPS file and someone from japan prints it out and uses it there. holy shit, you just got up in japan with out leaving your room!
but even if you choose to watch from the sidelines and not participate, anyone into art will find tons of content to enjoy.
but get inspired by this site, sign up, check the tutorials, go forth and create.
