Travaillant beaucoup d’après photo, il transpose alors sur divers supports ses pochoirs en leur insufflant une lumière particulière. Il en résulte un travail aussi soigné que précis, fortement empreint de l’enseignement reçu dans l’art d’accommoder les fards : les paillettes et les strass sont sa marque de fabrique.

Stencil Archive always looks forward to January, because that is when TXMX sends over his zipped photos surprise. Now a yearly tradition, what better way to welcome the new year with stencil photos from Hamburg and beyond. This year, TXMX goes all Hamburg, but we have zero complaints!

This is possibly the final round of new photos for 2022, so ending the year with another batch from San Francisco. This week, Tech Destroys gets his own archive (and I have requested that he paints more stencils around the City), lots or random pics from around SF (The Embarcadero, Van Ness, Nob Hill, etc.) and lots of general goodness.
Here's to 2023 and all the upcoming painted negative space!
