About Young & Free

“I like renegades – there’s something so attractive about their natural instinct to defy convention.” Anon.

Some call Australia the ‘lucky country’, but we’ve always made our own fate. From a rebellious past we’ve forged an identity steeped in cunning ingenuity, creative discontent and unorthodox flair. We’ve staged rebellions over rum, gained notoriety and won Nobels. We invented cask wine and Wi-Fi and we’ve won countless world titles. There may not be a lot of us, but we’ve always packed a punch.

Art is omnipresent. It is traditional art, music, poetry, theater and more. The thing they all have in common is that each one grows from a single idea. An idea is the seed. The idea grows from that original seed and develops into the art.

Street Lightnin' Gang Revisited

In 1976, David Willis got busted for spraying a stencil. The recent Stencil Archive transition killed the links on the images for the illustrated story version.

I just fixed the links, and the story is worth reposting for newer visitors to check out.

If you find broken links anywhere on Stencil Archive, please contact me.

If you have stencil history of your own to share (1999 or earlier), please send me stories, links, photos, etc.
