Stencils.

When people hear the words "street art" the first artist that more than likely comes to mind is the UK based street vandal "Banksy".  I long ago fell in love with his work, however over the years I find his wall pieces have plateaued.

To create a stencil all you need is a sturdy piece of cardboard, an exacto knife, and a good beer.  The beer is essential to the creative process.  

Once again, like other print methods, layering is key.  Making different color/hue layers adds so much to an image,  giving the final product depth. 

Stenciling is a great way to spread a message across an entire town in a very short amount of time.  Constructing a durable stencil is key to making a stencil that will last.  

Here are a few other stenciled pieces:
