#stencils

I have never really gotten the hang of spray paint, and since I have the opportunity to work on large outdoor #canvases, it seemed like the perfect time to experiment with making #stencils based on artwork from the #Watchmen movie. For this attempt, I used card stock and sent it through a vinyl cutter with the traced design from the film’s #artwork. In order to keep the edges down, I used tiny glue dots that are popular among scrapbookers.

Upturned Boats has now been photographed properly and is available in my shop!

It is a six colour screenprint made entirely from hand made stencils using paper cuts, brush strokes, pencil and ink pen marks.

By its nature, nothing lines up perfectly! Because I cut everything out by hand there are small gaps and overlaps but this adds to the enjoyment of the print I think.

It is a limited edition of 50 and is numbered and signed by me.

The size of the paper is 35cm x 47cm approximately. The artwork size is 21cm x 30cm approximately.

It's printed in six colours on Fabriano 5 210gsm printing paper.

I hope you enjoy it!

Beginning in the mid-18th century, several French companies produced brass (and then zinc and aluminum) stencils for signage, packaging, and other labeling purposes.

Here, @stewf shares a couple sets from our collection, including a brass set dating back to ca. 1785, and another made famous by Braque and Le Corbusier.
