Welcome to StencilArchive.org, home to thousands of photographs, artifacts, articles, videos, etc. for the stencil-loving community. Sharing negative space since 2002.

How can you support this site?

  • Take the San Francisco tour! Now booking for a walk/bike ride to see the painted walls and sidewalks.
  • BUY an autographed copy of my book "Stencil Nation" directly from the author.
  • DONATE ANY AMOUNT to keep Stencil Archive alive.
  • Any donations from the USA that are over $40 USD will get you a copy of "Stencil Nation," mailed to you along with an original hand-made stencil. Any donations outside the USA that are over $50 USD will get you the same!

Thanks so much - Russell

cutting out a barcode "PAINTING" stencil
