At long last, Serbia just got a great upload to the Stencil Archives, thanks to art historian and sometimes tour guide Srđan Tunić. Srđan just submitted a nice stack of photos, all from Belgrade where he is part of Street Art Walks Belgrade. As always, Stencil Archive appreciates and thrives off of your submissions and participation.
We'd never be able to do it without you!

The son of ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’ star Mr. Brainwash, Hijack, grew up in a world surrounded and inspired by renowned street artists such as Invader, Banksy, and Shepard Fairey. He was able to observe first hand the creative processes of some of the world’s most prolific and successful street artists. He learned how to set up his own studio, how to approach a large-scale mural, and even how to stealthily--albeit illegally--put up stencil art.

Thierry Guetta, under his moniker, Mr. Brainwash, has been pushing the envelope of contemporary art. The orchestrated collision of street art and pop art has been his balancing act. The tipping point for Mr. Brainwash was his groundbreaking footage from the widely- acclaimed documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop.

In 2013 Ilse developed an interest in paper art – at first in origami and kirigami. It inspired her to produce line drawings of her cats, adding background patterns (reminiscent of her favorite artists Klimt, Beardsley, and Morris) and developed it into single sheet stencil designs. Ilse joined an exclusive Instagram group titled The Paper Artist Collective in 2015 and has been a member since.
