How To Make Mud Stencils
I have always been interested in how to make nontoxic stencil art. I looked into beet dye stencils, but couldn't figure out how to spray it. This way isn't quick, but it is safe for the planet. Check out the original site here.
Materials: Mylar, X-Acto knife, tape, mud, sponge.

Visitor's Fore Sight Stencil Project
Hey Stencil Archive Community,
In july I started cranking out an edition of a picture dictionary/poetry/stencil folio project that I wrote/illustrated. I'm making all of the books myself in my studio. Each one comes pre-cut and bound with snap-rings. There's more info on my site. Just wanted to hip you to it.
Be well. Good luck with the new book.

Update from Peat
I just got back from Miami and was a part of a large scale mural project Primary Flight which happened during this Year Art Basel in the Wynwood Arts District.
For my wall I did a Tribute to Keith Haring for three reasons...
1) He was the first artist to truly influence me.
2) December is AIDS awareness month (Keith died of AIDS in 1990).
3) Keith would have turn 50 this year.
