X-ActoMundo - A Stencil Show
Stencils have been used for centuries as a form of early artistic expression and more recently as a tool for creating the signs that permeate our urban landscapes.
Welcome to the new/updated site! The Archives and search function may look a bit different, but it is still the same good time. Since 2002, your old-school website for all things stencils. Please consider donating what you can to support the much-needed upgrade. Photo submissions always welcome. Enjoy and stay curious.

- Find the Stencil Archives' best original photos on Instagram and flickr.

Light Criticism Stencil Campaign from AAA and GRL
the Anti-Advertising Agency and Graffiti Research Lab have used laser-cut stencils to cover the annoying flat-screen advertising monitors found scattered throughout New York City. Go here to see a great video about the campaign.
Go here to download Gifs of the stencil and cover a few yourself! From the AAA site:
Advertising is the vandalism of the Fortune 500. And despite that, we still don’t like it.
Good News from Justseeds
Also in the past 3 weeks, me and several other artists have put into motion a plan to relaunch a better and stronger Justseeds sometime in March. A dozen artists have banded together to convert Justseeds into an artist/worker owned and operated collective. The new Justseeds headquarters will be based in Portland, OR and largely run by two artists that have had art available on Justseeds before, Icky A. and Pete Yahnke.
