Hey this is Leon Rainbow. I'm part of an arts collective called albuscav.us. We are organizing a street art festival in New Bruinswick, New Jersey. We are looking for artists, as well as supporters, sponsors, and volunteers. If you run an arts site please post the blow "call for artists". If you know artists or are an artist please spread the word, send an e-mail blast or help in whatever way you can. We are looking for artists of all types shapes and sizes. We will be doing several Collaborative walls so please send in snaps, stickers, posters, stencils.,etc.
A few people have asked Stencil Archive for tips and info on spray painting stencils on t-shirts.
Some tips I've given them are mostly screen printing tips:
- use a flat palate (piece of wood, glass, or even marble) to keep the shirt flat
- make a mark in the middle of the palate so you can center your shirt
- maybe use spray tack to keep the shirt from moving
- put the shirts out in the sun or in the dryer to cure the paint
- if you want tight lines, practice improves your skills
i'm wondering if you know of anyone who's had success using a squeeze bottle to deliver a paint concoction (for inside use- less noise)... please let me know what you do on this matter.
