Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

Step 1. Create a quick and generally brief stencil.



Step 2. Find a small spray bottle, just dig around your mothers bathroom and empty out a bottle, clean it thouroughly.

Step 3. Fill the bottle with water and paint of your color or ink. I used Indian Ink and regular black paint, and with too much water the paint became really wet and gross. however, with a good paint --> water ratio, with more paint than water, i was able to get a pretty good dry spray effect.

Step 4. Use packing tape to tape your stencil to a paper plate.

Step 5. Spend 53q2508398 hours trying to cut the stencil out of the plate using an X-acto knife. I prefered using stiffer paper, because when i used the lighter flimsy printer paper it was tearing really fast before i could finish cutting it out. Laying the masking tape completely over the stencil on to the plate has a few effects. 1, it holds it in place so it doesnt slide around. 2. It makes it harder to catch the paper and tear it before youre done with it and 3. It makes it easier to cut more detailed lines.

Step 6. Take your home made poor mans "spray paint" and hit the town. That pretty stencil you just made with the paper plate that is advertising VDCore and the website can now be easily painted on to any surface. Its longevity, however, is going to be dependant on the ink or paint you use. I made sure i used on that was very water resistant, very oil based and a bitch to get out of cloths. Anyway, get VDC free traffic by plastering it all over town.

Re: Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

Also, you can use any paint you want. Secondly, it is best to apply the stencil to a surface using spray adhesive, it completely eliminates any underspray.

or you can just hold it or tape it...

and yeah you can obviously use any paint or even pen you want, mine is just 10x cooler.


the teeth are actually cut out a bit so they actually appear.

Re: Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

Well, it is a nice stencil, and your paint does sound 10x cooler.

Cause you could specialize it to your preffered consistancy.

I'm not even joking.

Re: Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

I'm only going to let that slide on the basis that you live closer to Seattle than I do.


P.S., in all seriousness it's not THAT bad. Just a lot of hippies, potheads, anarchists, and public access watchers. Hell, it's bigger than every city in Washington BUT Seattle.

Re: Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

My first personal stencil was done on printer paper and the paint was cheap spray paint I off a tractor trailer,

but I like the idea of using paper plates much better than reinforcing it with paper and glue. I should of printed it so I could got more detail and accuracy into the stencil and definatly something stronger afterwards.

Re: Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

haha I'm listening to Bob Marley right now, actually. Stencil is good, but what would be great is if you could possibly include some of the edges of the hair. also, parts of it (right eye in particular) are just too solid and would maybe benefit from just slimming them down or dividing them up.

Now back to that Seattle vs. Portland thing... yeah, Seattle totally wins, although anything in Cali or BC on the west coast > either of them any day :/

Re: Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

everytime I spray ( on a flat table like surface ) I lay the stencil down, tape it, and then spray, wait 3 mins and then take off.... it never gets the shape of the stencil. Should I A) hold the stencil away from the table/wall
or B) get a thicker stencil?

Re: Quick Graffiti lessons 101:

I do mine more on the run, so i usually have a buddy hold the stencil against tree / wall / bench / ect, spray it, pull it off and take off so i dont get busted.

could be its not being held close enough to the surface
