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.
